"Is Wikipedia for Sale?"
http://j.mp/16nf2Rk (Vice)
"In recent months though, insiders have encountered something
altogether more worrying: a concerted attack on the very fabric of
Wikipedia by PR companies that have subverted the online
encyclopedia's editing hierarchy to alter articles on a massive
scale-perhaps tens of thousands of them. Wikipedia is the world's
most popular source of cultural, historical, and scientific
knowledge-if their fears are correct, its all-important
credibility could be on the line."
