Spreading the Twisted Word

Has anybody noticed that PSF supporters have written both the PSF and RSF pages on Wikipedia - and neither of them has much to do with the truth!

Has anybody noticed that PSF supporters have written both the PSF and RSF pages on Wikipedia. Needless to say they have painted themselves in glowing colours and claimed to be the original party set up in 1905. No mention that their policies and beliefs now are exactly what the Republican Movement fought a civil war against in 1922, and continued to fight against, i.e. accepting the legitimacy of British created partitionist assemblies which usurp the functions of the 32 county Irish Republic. Naturally enough they do an absolute hatchet job on the Republican Sinn Fein page. I tried to edit the RSF page to add a little balance, but the provisionals were in straight away to re-edit. Maybe they have a department for this, or maybe they used some of that 26 million sterling withdrawal to make a big donation to Wikipedia. Either way its pathetic to see PSF so desperate to hide the truth.
