Current Events: Elections and Wikipedia

Taken from CNN student news.

The election in America with Obama, Hilary, and McCain is one of the biggest stories all over the internet.
The three competitors use the internet to promote their side but others too can do it.
Many people go on wikipedia and add good information to the competitor they support and bad information to the person they do not support. Sometimes these information isn't even true. But it's just a way to get others to support their candidate too.
Luckily, editors working for wikipedia regurally check the sites and try to neutralize it so it doesn't seem that the person who wrote the article is supporting the candidate.
