Pat Sweeney ([[User:Patsw]]) describes himself as an "extreme" Catholic. He says: '"extreme" simply means that I'm faithful, serious, and willing to take risks to share in the mission of the Catholic Church.' He has put out "call to arms", dated April 9, asking his readers to come and join "The battle to re-write the history of Terri Schiavo's history" at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terri_Schiavo http://extremecatholic.blogspot.com/2005_04_03_extremecatholic_archive.html#... This blog entry references an earlier "call to arms" on another blog, dated April 5th. http://www.blogsforterri.com/archives/2005/04/wikipedia_has_n.php
I suspect we will continue to see more of this sort of thing, from all quarters. The trick will be to protect the NPOV of the article(s) while benefiting from any real information that might come to light. Oh, and along the way, recruit additional productive editors from among those who visit as a result of the "call to arms."
