In hopes of holding our fellow bloggers accountable, I am offering Six Simple Steps on how to monitor Wikipedia. By following these simple steps, you too can shine the light on un-ethical bloggers.
Step 1: Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Step 2: Type in the search box the name of the person you wish to read about. The search box is on the left side bar. Example: Robert G. Marshall
Step 3: When you get to the page, notice there is an [edit] link located to the left of each entry.
Step 4: Click on [edit] and it will take you to the [edit this page] section. Then for IP address go to edit history. Then you will see for example that Hardcoredemocrat and GregBouchillon seem to be very familiar with Wikipedia.
Step 6: Click on (last) and see what wonderful contributions our ethical bloggers are making to Wikipedia. For example, Uvguy20 has some interesting things to say about Del. Marshall. I guess he likes the word “BIGOT.”
More on “ethical blogging” to come....

For once I agree with you, wikipedia is not the best place to get your sources. Sadly, I know some people (in college!) who cites wikipedia as a source on their academic papers. But some how you managed to blame the Democrats for it, Republicans can be idiots too you know.

I love wiki!! Best sight ever made, but it can lack in info alot of the times.
"But some how you managed to blame the Democrats for it, Republicans can be idiots too you know."
The only reason was the fact that the blame fell on them. I could find no acts of this "Wikipedia Ethics" from the Right. Not my fault, just reporting my findings. If the right was involved, I wouldn't hesitate to point the finger.

Yeah, like I said Republicans can be idiots too, it's not all one sided all the time, that's were we have the problems. Eveyrone wants to point the finger at everyone else but they should take a good look at themselves first. But the whole Wiki has "ethics", what a joke :)

I stand corrected.
I used to use Wikipedia as a Bible, until one day I used the edit feature, and found out how easy it is to slant the facts! Most of my high school teachers won't even accept it for a source anymore. I can't believe some people are so determined to have others slant to their beliefs that they will actually change a site intended for free knowledge. "ethical" my ass.
Know that I meant ethical in the sarcastic sense.
as did i, JohnMaxfield. just agreeing with you.
Wow. Look at this bipartisanship going on. Someone take a screen shot before it goes away. :)
