CAMERA and Wikipedia
In an April 2008 article on Electronic Intifada, e-mails sent between Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) members were published. The stated purpose of the group was "help us keep Israel-related entries on Wikipedia from becoming tainted by anti-Israel editors". Five Wikipedia editors involved in a CAMERA campaign were sanctioned by Wikipedia administrators, who wrote that the project's open nature "is fundamentally incompatible with the creation of a private group to surreptitiously coordinate editing by ideologically like-minded individuals".

Famous quotes containing the word camera:
“The camera is a killing chamber, which speeds up the time it claims to be conserving. Like coffins exhumed and prised open, the photographs put on show what we were and what we will be again.”
—Peter Conrad (b. 1948)
