Put technology to use: Create Wikipedia page to help win War
By sage of monticello | September 18, 2007
I received this message via Facebook from Students for Victory in Iraq:
Get Involved with the Iraq Wiki Truth Project
Wikipedia is becoming an increasingly influential and trusted source for information, and unfortunately, much of its content on the counterinsurgency mission in Iraq is skewed, missing vital information, or is incorrect. As informed, tech-savvy citizens, we have a responsibility to do our best to ensure that the information provided on Wikipedia is accurate, whole, and has a truly neutral point of view.
Students for Victory in Iraq is launching the Iraq Wiki Truth Project to address these problems on Wikipedia and improve the quality of the information that the encyclopedia site provides to its users. Participants in the project will adopt or create a page about an Iraq-related subject, update and maintain the page according to Wikipedia’s standards, and make sure that there is a neutral point of view, and that information on military actions, reconciliation, and success in Iraq is not overshadowed by cherry-picked stories and defeatist propaganda. If you wish to participate, please visit the Iraq Wiki Truth Project’s page here.
Together, we are making a difference and we are winning the battle at home so that our servicemen and women can keep winning the war overseas.
