The Mail understands well enough, I guess, that (a) editing under a 
pseudonym is OK, and (b) editing [[David Cameron]] is OK even if you are 
a Labour party member. So "caught altering David Cameron's Wikipedia 
entry" certainly misleads as to where the problem lies. "Although the 
alterations were not inaccurate or overtly critical, many were 
unfavourable." Yes, but were they or were they not "from a neutral point 
of view"? Pah. Reporters know that difference, if they care to.  I'm 
glad I generally don't have to read this stuff.
