And yet, that's exactly what goes on, day in and day out. Wikipedia supposedly has checkers who scan articles for changes made by the subject (there was a recent news story about them uncoverning a whole bunch of U.S. government changes, er, censorship). But I doubt they have the staff required to properly police Wikipedia so that it doesn't become simply a P.R. tool for whatever the subject happens to be.
There is nothing comprehensive enough in place to ensure that anything remotely critical remains on Wikipedia. It's a joke.
