As you allude to, there have been a lot of cases recently where all sorts of dubious info has been added or changed. The people who do it are pretty dumb as they leave their IP on record ! Consequently governments and big business have been outed. Some topics are subject to so much abuse that they have been locked and can no longer be edited by the public Regards Rod Craig
