Wikipedia for spin doctoring?
Down to Earth – Down to Earth (subscription) – Sep 15, 2007
But now an innovation on the site has confirmed a long-held suspicion: Wikipedia is a prime target for spin-doctoring. A new identification programme on the site reveals that some of the most prolific contributors to Wikipedia are the cia the British Labour Party and the Vaticanand they are not just updating their own entries. The Wikiscanner site shows the cia has edited entries on many issues relating to the us government including presidential biographies and descriptions of military operations. The scanner rummages through entries and edits Wikipedia posts to find their origin.

Peter Chianca: Take a walk on the pirate side

After all who can’t relate to roving bands of felons who according to Wikipedia “ate poorly did not become fabulously wealthy and died young. ” (Keeping in mind of course that everything on Wikipedia is made up. ) Also they’re among the few brands of criminals who actually had their own flag so you knew when they were coming. Nobody ever said they were bright. My own personal exposure to pirates is limited to my role in my high school’s production of “The Pirates of Penzance” in which I played the pirates’ nemesis Major-General Stanley.

Kirkersville Mayor Bennie Evans defines a speed trap as “entrapment” or intentionally deceiving motorists. “The fact is it’s 35 miles per hour. What’s so hard about that?” he asked during Tuesday night’s Kirkersville Village Council meeting (postponed from Sept… According to the American Automobile Association a “speed trap” is a community whose local government budget relies heavily on revenue from speeding fines.

New York Times – Sep 15, 2007
But the entry does not list a street address for Top Shelf and Fab Five Freddy the executive producer of the album won’t reveal it. In an interview conducted via e-mail messages he said that it was in Alphabet City near Tompkins Square Park and belonged to an old friend who was an audio engineer and a marijuana dealer. “Because of the nature of his business even though it was a long time ago I don’t want to put it on blast like that” Fab Five Freddy wrote. But several hip-hop producers who were active in 1988 said they had never heard of Top Shelf.
