The 'Undue Weight' of Truth on Wikipedia
“So I removed the line about there being ‘no evidence’ and provided a full explanation in Wikipedia’s behind-the-scenes editing log. Within minutes my changes were reversed. The explanation: ‘You must provide reliable sources for your assertions to make changes along these lines to an article.’ That was curious, as I had cited the documents that proved my point, including verbatim testimony from the trial published online by the Library of Congress.” - “The ‘Undue Weight’ of Truth on Wikipedia” on The Chronicle: http://bit.ly/w7vr55
