Take That, Scientology
Apparently the Church of Scientology has been editing Wikipedia articles in a self-serving manner, so Wikipedia has responded by banning all edits coming from their IPs. Honestly, I know very little about Scientology. The few things I’ve heard sound nuts, and Tom Cruise seems crazy*.
Frankly, though, all this does for their reputation is enforce it, in my mind. Really, Wikipedia is fairly “neutral” from the things I’ve read. Given that, if you really need to edit articles to make yourself sound better, you must be doing something wrong to begin with.
* Crazy funny… Have you seen Tropic Thunder? The man is surprisingly funny.
