Wikipedia Bans Scientology From Site
Edited on Fri May-29-09 01:03 PM by tj2001
Wikipedia has banned the Church of Scientology and its members from editing its site after discovering that members of the church were editing articles in order to give the church favorable coverage.

The move is being hailed as "an unprecedented effort to crack down on self-serving edits," and it is the first instance in which Wikipedia has banned a group as large as the Church of Scientology.

-----------------------------------------

Church of Scientology vs. Wikipedia lawsuit will be filed ASAP, generating more publicity (and victimhood) for Scientology. Meanwhile, Scientology "church" members will continue to edit using their home/work/Starbucks IPs, and the Wiki edit wars will continue ad nauseam.

1. I guess they'll just stop registering as Scientologists.
Hey, wait. Why would somebody register as a Scientologist?

2. More difficult to stop os the way Conservatives bend historical fact, etc, to their world view.
