Try looking at who has edited the the pages for all these planes that have gotten popped carrying massive quantities of cocaine.. for example look into tail numbers N900SA, N987SA and the recent N811PW. Do a little digging on these and you will find some truly disturbing things. It's also very convenient that they often seem to be de-registered by the FAA just days before getting caught with cocaine. :roll: You want to see something very interesting?

It said that anonymous and newly registered users would not be allowed to edit the article until after that time...looks like they are taking some precautions on this kind of stuff.

I won't mind if Microsoft or any other company edit Wikipedia anonymously to remove false information. Wikipedia does contain a chunk of false information.

The idea of a open "wiki" is open to exploits. Well this is not surprising in the least bit. The idea of a open “wiki” is open to exploits.

I'm sure there are a few situations where it is a difference in opinion, and in that case, I wouldn't say it's vandalism.

Even when users report what they heard from news sources doesn't mean it's the truth.When a company or individual comes across information about them that is incorrect then they have an obligation to correct it. Is it vandalism or just a difference in opinion?
