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".
