Folks, here's the deal. As best as we can, we've been trying to ensure that the Porsche 914 entry at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_914) has been kept fairly neutral.

Lately, several someones, including a person with the user ID Greg Treadway, have been going in and changing a lot of the links. I'm not accusing Greg, just mentioning that is the user ID on the logs.

In the last day, someone again deleted the links to ClubNARP and 914World... and but left the 914Club link in place (with the 914World tagline attached). I put it back the way it was, and to be fair, left 914club.com link there.

We're all trying to live in peace, so this kind of vandalism and editorialism is uncalled for. It puts our community in poor light. If you happen to think of it, would you mind checking in on the Wiki entry from time to time and see if someone has vandalized it? Check the actual links, not just the text, as some stuff can be hidden.

If you do decide to do some editing on the Wikipedia page, please create a login and use it. That way we can see who is posting what. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

thanks,
