Wikipedia censorship

More examples of Wikipedia censorship ....

Wikipedia had a fair and accurate description of Aldershot until along came some jerk called Dave Watson, who decided that what was there was vandalism,and decided to remove it. He had previously questioned the accuracy of what was there.

Surely his action constitutes vandalism?

Some jerk called Dave Watson who does not even live in Aldershot or anywhere near

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DWaterson

has been censoring the Wikipedia Aldershot page

compare

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldershot

with

 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aldershot&oldid=52655400

Interesting, he is a town planner.

Now who has destroyed Aldershot?

Why town planners, local councillors and developers.

Big Brother then blocked access from a Library terminal to prevent even comments on their comments page.
