O Wikipedia tem sido manipulado em favor de interesses comerciais. Um anónimo assume isso mesmo, depois de BoingBoing ter denunciado num artigo a mesma prática por parte da BBC.
“I can’t say who I am, but I do work at a company that uses Wikipedia as a key part of online marketing strategies. That includes planting of viral information in entries, modification of entries to point to new promotional sites or “leaks” embedded in entries to test diffusion of information. Wikipedia is just a more transparent version of Myspace as far as some companies are concerned. We love it (evil laugh).”
