[Lead-in] 1. A meeting of the minds can reveal some serious prejudices especially US politics are involved. That's what has happened to an online information-sharing site called Wikipedia. Our Tom Foreman reports some contributors to the webpage that many people use as a dictionary can't get their facts straight.
[Story] 2. Three hundred million times a day people click on Wikipedia for information about chameleons, catastrophes and presidential candidates. And that is where it gets tricky, because for months supporters at all three have been furiously changing Wikipedia entries to make their choice look good and the opponents look bad.
3. Volunteers like Dan Rosenthal oversee the Wiki world, where almost anyone can alter an entry as long as they cite a source.
- This is something of an intellectual war. - Yes, you could characterize it like that.
Over and over, users try to change Obama's page, for example, and make him a Muslim. He is not. They have tried to label Hillary Clinton a white supremacist. She is not. And they have accused John McCain of starting a huge fire on an aircraft carrier that took more than 100 lives. He barely escaped with his life in that incident, but he did not cause it. But some in the Wiki war will try relentlessly to get a false fact to stick.
- They bring it up time and again. - Even though it's not true? - Even though it's not true, they want it in the article.
4. All the candidates' pages have been locked at times and some users are banned. But Wiki fans say most edits are well-intentioned and worth it.
"We're going from top down politics to bottom up politics. And the powers that control the future of our country are being realigned around a more participatory citizenry. And the Internet is facilitating that."
The Wiki wars, they say, are really all about changing politics.
