Wikipedia Reviewing U.S., Canadian and British Political Bios
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
The founder of the vast online reference site, Wikipedia, said that volunteers were checking the biographies of American, Canadian and British lawmakers following some online spin-doctoring.
The huge online encyclopedia, which can be edited by anyone logging onto its site, is checking its biographies after it emerged some US lawmakers' biographies had benefited from flattering updates.
The volunteers who run Wikipedia discovered the online updates had originated from computers in the US Congress, sparking a wider review of other political biographies hosted on the site.
