.@EllenStofan: you (Director of Air & Space Museum) hype a "Wikipedia edit-a-thon". @jimmy_wales used WP's own rules to deceive their readers. Whether for a good cause or not, he still deceived their readers. Imagine what Putin/China/etc moles do. http://24ahead.com/n/9281

.@jesswade: FYI, @jimmy_wales freely admitted he used #Wikipedia rules to deceive their readers. Now, imagine what Putin & other leaders - who can afford to hire moles to use those same rules in the same way - are doing. http://24ahead.com/n/9281

.@jwsal @Jonathanjk: FYI, @jimmy_wales put his finger on the #wikipedia scale, using their rules to deliberately lie to their readers. It was for a good cause, but he still used their rules to lie to their readers. What other good causes are there? http://24ahead.com/n/9281

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@barney_parker: hey Barney, @jimmy_wales admitted using #Wikipedia 's own rules to deceive their readers. It was for a good cause, but how many other cases of using their rules to quash dissent aren't so compelling? http://24ahead.com/n/9281
