It's cute that they announced it, though. If only all POV-pushers were so convenient. It's also somewhat cute that they "joined the authoring ranks of Wikipedia" -- as if it takes active membership and not just clicking on the "Login" button.

I just got this from my Google alert on Wikipedia: http://www.iwr.co.uk/information-world-review/news/2145845/tax-group-say-wik...
"The Professional Contractors Group (PCG), an organisation for freelance and temporary contract workers in the UK, has joined the authoring ranks of Wikipedia, the open source encyclopaedia.
John Kell, political researcher for the PCG, has written three entries, two on British taxation law, with a decidedly pro-PCG bias."
These articles are being written by [[User:John Kell]]. I recently placed {{NPOV}} templates on the articles [[IR35]] and [[S660A]] for reasons that should become obvious in the context of their content, and [[Professional Contractors Group]] as well. This seems to be an attempt by a political lobby group to use Wikipedia as a soapbox. I'm not intimately familiar with the political situation surrounding these statutes, so I would ask that other users try to help me in making the articles more neutral.
