An American graduate has created a way to track down who anonymously changed contents in Wikipedia and found some quite interesting data...
Like corporations or even government agencies removing too critical material against them...
I think the community aspect on Wikipedia is excellent and make it possible, through collaboration and refining of the information, to have some truly objective articles.
If now we can even spot actual misinformation, it's near perfect!

I found it here on Rue89 (in French)
This blog was born from a very simple question: "How much do I want to annoy people by sending emails about general stuff they might not be bothered with?". The answer being "Not much" I thought it would be better to just put all these things “somewhere” and tell people where to look if they want to. So here is “somewhere”: a dump of things I like, things that I find interesting, funny, shocking. Pretty much anything. Comments are welcome, whether in English or en Francais!
Other things of potential interest...
