Diary: Wikipedia is best to bring unbiased truth to the nation, let's all update it!

Whenever you do a search on Google or any other search engine, have you noticed that the first or second entry is usually the Wikipedia link to the topic you have researched? Test it, you will see that it is true. George W Bush, first hit. John McCain, second hit:

What is so fantastic about Wikipedia? Well, it is an encyclopaedia, a highly complete one at that, and anyone can contribute to it. It is always changing, evolving, it tells you the news as it happens. I have found that, for research and for the truth, Wikipedia is the best tool one can hope for.

What is also great about Wikipedia, is that it is impartial. Just the facts. It brings what happened and what people have said which was published and printed in the mass media and perhaps even websites like OEN.

Usually it works perfectly and I find all the information I want. However, recently I have to say that Wikipedia has let me down badly. The entry "Movement to impeach George W. Bush":

Though quite complete and offering an excellent overview of everything that has happened so far, along with many links as you will not find anywhere else, it has not been updated yet. There is nothing about the July 25 hearing called: "Executive Power and Its Constitutional Limitations".

I suggest that OEN's writers, a powerful force now, should help update Wikipedia as events happen. This is history in the making, and it stays there for posterity, whilst our articles drown ever more and soon no one can find them.

As long as one newspaper or source of information can be cited, this can go on Wikipedia. It is not easy, because you have to remain unbiased and simply report the facts. But no one can stop you from adding a whole controversy section to any topic, to any biography of any politician, if such controversy has been talked about in the media. Or just adding an inconvenient truth about anyone listed on Wikipedia, after all, inconvenient truths can be quite powerful.

I have found that Wikipedia was one of a limited amount of places on the Internet where I could get to the complete truth, and so in my mind Wikipedia has become, along with OEN, the two best websites to understand what is really going on. As such, we need to play a more active role in updating Wikipedia and citing OEN articles as source of the information.

Every single witness of that hearing about Bush needs to be updated on Wikipedia, so we know who are the hypocrites in this system and who are working against us. It is a good way to damage these people, because eventually, want it or not, Bush and Cheney's crimes will get to be known, and it will be obvious these people would have known about it. And so, if it is in Wikipedia, with sources to show these people acted improperly for whatever reason at the time, we will remember and hopefully prevent them from working against us in the future. It could also prove that they were accomplices.

What is so amazing, is that the simple truth is the most damaging proof ever. Our problem is that the truth does not get out, and more lies appear to insure we don't get to hear the truth, we even get to doubt it somehow.

Please, work at updating Wikipedia all the time, and donate if you can, so we can insure that this marvellous encyclopaedia to the truth will not disappear. There are many controversy sections which need to be added on a myriad of topics. Many more topics which need to be created, and many hyperlinks from entries to entries to make everyone aware of everything that is going on.

Let's make Wikipedia the best tool there is to report all the truth about this actual administration, so we can remember what has happened after all our articles are buried and gone. Plus, it cannot hurt OEN's writers to research Wikipedia about the articles they write. They might get more information, statistics, links they may not have thought of, and so on.
