There are issues at Wikipedia that in my opinion can seriously undermine their credibility



The Public relies on Wikipedia to deliver reasonably reliable content to their definitions and information. What is being attempted by Ted Frank (a.k.a. THF) is disinformation. The "SiCKO" site in Wikipedia isn't that dynamic an issue that access to it has to be continuous and volatile.

Everyone knows any of Michael Moore's films evoke controversy. They challenge the 'status quo' and in the case of "SiCKO" the 'status quo' has become a fine line between life and death of human beings vs. corporate profits. When someone, anyone; like Ted Frank tries to alter the 'reality' that is perfectly obvious in "SiCKO" they are committing human rights violations.

The understanding of health care in the USA is so rattled by Michael's documentary, it has nearly every household looking for guarantees to their healthcare issues while the Neocon Conservatives, such as Ted Frank, are seeking every way possible to undermine the 'authenticity' of the film. It cannot be undermined. The film is not about Michael Moore. It is about people that make dramatic testimony to 'the truth' regarding their treatment by the American 'privatized' health care system which in all to many cases leads to death. THAT is serious business.

FOR ANYONE CONTEMPLATING TAMPERING WITH THE TRUTH OF "SiCKO;" THEY NEED TO REALIZE THEY ARE OPENING THEMSELVES TO SCRUTINY OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES.

Michael Moore has archived in redundancy 'the truth' of his films. There are no mistakes in his film. The MISTAKE people like Ted Frank make, that criticize a DOCUMENTARY, is they so frequently tamper with the truth, they can no longer discern it when they see it.

Wikipedia has to realize the content of 'SiCKO' has finite changes to be entered. The film is 'fixed' and Mr. Moore can provide redundant proof to that end. The Wikipedia site for "SiCKO" should be closed and sealed as the authenticity to any of the facts has already been validated and there is NO discussion to Michael's documentary.

I value Wikipedia, but, unless there comes an understanding that some entries at some point in time when all the facts are known, become closed to changes then how is there any legacy guaranteed to any site Wikipedia provides in truthfulness. There needs to be a more scientific process that provides a standard to an entry to close it's editing content; ie: "I was born on The Fourth of July." That should be editable? No. Either I was born on the 4th of July or I wasn't. By the way, I wasn't.

There isn't anything more to say about "SiCKO." Close the site to edits and that is verifiable by the Moore archives.
