AdelaideNow... Downer declares Wikipedia 'anti-government': "'It's a bit misleading because Wikipedia itself has its own editorial policy so what is edited in, it could be anyone in the public in cyberspace, can be edited out by the Wikipedia editorial board so it seems to me to a little misleading.'"
Wikipedia is Wikipedia and you can check the edits in the sections. Some people take responsibility for their personal section and will edit content to keep it factually accurate. As a cyber human you can contribute but you are not someone who can hide yourself. Most people take a real pride in what they write and the reliability of their sources. The value of the site is that it is open and clear about what occurs.As an interactive encyclopedia it is quite an achievement but it seems to be being brought down into the vagaries of politics. If you use Wikipedia you know what it is.
