Essentially, here's the story. Someone noticed that the top search result for "Jew" at Google was an anti-semitic site. People offended by this started a blogging campaign to counter this result with... the Wikipedia article [[Jew]].

Is the weblog post that started it all.
"I'm going to suggest using Wikipedia's entry for Jew as the initial (and official) link for this campaign, as it's the most inclusive, non-denominational, and democratic source on the subject."
