		<description>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s smart for CIA and big corporations to edit Wikipedia&#039;s articles, seeing that the articles can be edited by anyone at any later time.

If I were a bad agent of CIA I would simply threaten a Wikimedia&#039;s employee to do the editing for me so I could still remain in the dark while getting the job done. And if I were a very big corporation I would simply buy or bribe an employee of Wikimedia to do the work for me.

Either way, Wikipedia will not be made &quot;even stronger&quot;, but only its staff will be put in a more dangerous situation, and Wikipedia&#039;s future is in peril.

A single college student dared and had the resourse to test and theorize the intentions behind the edits of Wikipedia articles by powerful and dangerous organizations of the world. . . this original news article could have been made a great idea for a detective fiction to challenge and test the thinking ability and imagination of the readers. That would certainly have made the readers &quot;even stronger&quot;.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m really not surprised.

Wikipedia is like Marxism - it&#039;s a noble idea, but it&#039;s based on an ideal theory. It assumes that people are by nature &quot;good&quot; and honest. They just aren&#039;t.

It&#039;s a pity that most people simply take what they read on Wikipedia at face value, and only look at the first two pages of a Google search... and that&#039;s if They aren&#039;t Feeling Lucky, which they usually do.

People have to learn that the truth is never apparent. Better yet, people have to learn to think for themselves.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve noticed this sort of thing on my own, but it&#039;s good that someone is showing it clearly. Wikipedia is quite useful, but it&#039;s more like &quot;the word on the street&quot;. Despite it&#039;s usefulness, it has neither authority nor wisdom. Thoughtful users know this.</description>
