I have to say I like this one:

"Bad luck & poor investments" caused bankruptcy of native tribe destroyed by Exxon-Valdez spill (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=9144873)

Exxon Valdez oil spill article states that the collapse of the clam, herring and seal populations following the spill caused the financial ruin of the Chugach Native American tribe. ExxonMobil employee edits this section to shift blame to "bad luck and poor investments."



Though I have say the Al-Jezeera one were they blame "teh ebil j00s" deserves a prize of some sort.

Exxon-Valdez spill whitewash

"Peer-reveiwed studies ... have confirmed that there has been no long-term severe impact to the Prince William Sound ecosystem. Thousands of species ... were never affected by the spill in the first place... six of the largest salmon harvests in history were recorded in the decade immediately following the spill."

Oil spills good for fish wot?

What else would you expect from this "everyone for himself encyclopedia"?

Honesty? According to whom?
Truth? Whose then?
Neutrality or impartiality? You guessed it: which definition of those?

So yeah, of course everyone tries to push his world view onto wikipedia.

But it makes for some good fun too. I've had quite a nice time following the bickering about the Turkish Cyprus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Republic_of_Northern_Cyprus) page.

It's easy to harvest them when they just float up to the surface.

Apparently too good.

The group went bankrupt in 1991, as a result of bad luck in various investments, a fallout in the timber industry, a salmon glut, a fire at its Orca cannery, and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill's impact on the local herring population.

Search Fox News on Wiki scanner. You'll find a torrent of edits buffing up Brit Hume, and slandering Keith Olbermann and CNN.
