Why don't you just open an account and change it? Here, I started by
deleting the Hudson Institute crap:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Governance_of_the_Gaza_Strip&action=history

Last edit I'll make, though, otherwise I'll be accused of starting an
"edit war," and do so want to avoid conflict escalation... but anyone
else can help out.

People do realize that Wikipedia is the first reference source for
millions of people, right?
