Colby College Wiki
In the aftermath of the incident on campus, I added an encyclopedic and well documented section on the event to the wikipedia page for Colby college. It has held up relatively well, but something interesting happened over the last couple days.
Someone rewrote the second para from this;
The school has come under criticism for the incident and subsequent administrative handling.[15] The administration has made no formal apology, nor has it suspended the officers involved.[16] The school released misleading information to the press in the aftermath of the incident.[17] For these reasons, Colby College students organized a rally on April 14th in support of the students and demanding action from the administration.[18]
To this:
The school has unjustly come under criticism for the incident and subsequent administrative handling.[14] The administration has made no formal apology, nor has it suspended the officers involved because they do not know all of the facts of the incident and they could get in legal trouble.[15] For these reasons, Colby College students organized a rally on April 14th arguing that excessive force was used. [16] The video, or the accounts from unbiased parties continue to show Colby Security did nothing wrong.
Because the idiot did not have a Wikipedia name, got to run a little lookup on the IP. The result?

But luckily someone else changed it back to this, which I can live with:
The school has come under criticism for the incident and subsequent administrative handling.[14] The administration has made no formal apology, nor has it suspended the officers involved because the events are still under investigation.[15] On April 15, students organized a rally arguing that excessive force was used. [16]
Personally I find it pretty amusing that there was someone in the administration (ok, it might have been a student) blatantly trying to change the article. And in a very poorly executed and obviously biased way.
Hopefully my Alma Mater can get their sh*t together on this one, because right now all I have seen is a lot of spin and sweeping things under the carpet.
