Funny snippet - one of their major internal organizational issues is
that a lot of stuff in Wikipedia on some subjects is still formally
highly classified, even if well known in public.  They had cases where
people reported "You can't say that!  Classify it to Top Secret
immediately!", and the response was "We imported that article straight

Which was in some cases not good enough, and they had to remove things
and link out to us (though they indicated they were now generally
winning those fights).
