[WikiEN-l] PR firm accused of whitewashing Wikipedia article on Maldives

[David Goodman]

The material that was removed seems to have been in need of sourcing
and rewriting to a NPOV (whatever the truth of the matter may be). The
present article says very little of any sort, has over-emphasis  on
two riots, and skips the period from 2004 to 2008,  The other articles
on these islands also seem to be in need of  very considerable
attention.

Frankly, what the  PR firm did is not really worse than some other
editors  at those articles
