This looks like a worm-hole of weirdness so far. Check out this one about Brian Darling of the Heritage Foundation. The edit added to his wikipedia page, "While growing up, Brian was involved in breeding rare long haired cats." -WTF?

Very strange. The only one I've seen that's really troubling (rather than just odd) is describing Ed Snowden as a "traitor" rather than a "dissident", as noted in Cory Doctorow's Aug. 2013 BoingBoing article

That is odd. Someone must have been bored at their congressional internship...

I expected some mudslinging. Not sure if this is more or less relieving than edits attacking people...It's a little offputting.

I bet it's a game that some of the people working there are playing with each other.
