Wikiscanner and Disney

And technically, wikipedia entries aren't supposed to be made by the subject anyway ("You are strongly discouraged from writing articles about yourself or organisations in which you hold a vested interest.").

Write up a non-biased article and post it from somewhere else.

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.

It's pretty much a free place - and we're as free as Disney or anyone else to keep changing it.

Hah, tell that to places that like to control their facads and have no idea how to function in a transparent world. "Somone else, state what we are?! The absolute nerve..."
