[ga] Wikipedia as a refrence? - Japanese Bureaucrats Reprimanded for Wikipedia Editing

[jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

All,

  Again we can all easily see why Wikipedia as an accurate
refrence for nearly anything is very questionable at best.
Perhaps takedown of this false information domain is
overdue.

See:http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1597342007

"Six bureaucrats in the Japanese agricultural ministry
have been reprimanded for working on the job ... for Wikipedia. The six
officials were publicly chastised for editing hundreds of Wikipedia
entries during work hours. These included over 250 entries about robots
in anime. '"The agriculture ministry is not in charge of Gundam," 
said a ministry official, Tsutomu Shimomura ... The ministry's internal inquiry
followed recent media allegations that a growing number of Japanese
public servants were contributing to the internet encyclopaedia, which
anyone can edit, often to reflect their personal views. The ministry
verbally reprimanded each of the six officials, and slapped a
ministry-wide order to prohibit access to Wikipedia at work, while
disabling access to the site from the ministry, Mr Shimomura said. '"
