WBZ TV wikipedia vandals!

In my opinion? Yes, it is, when someone intentionaly changes accurate information to blatently inaccurate information. You know, I have no patience for something like that. Whoever did that should have checked the facts before desicrating a perfectly accurate article. A walk over to the Allbritton company site and also to CBS Corps web site would have confirmed very easily that WBZ is a CBS O&O. Of course, any WBZ-TV fan already knows this.
...and also, I can't quite figure out how to fix the page so that it will stay fixed.

The "beauty" of Wikipedia is that anyone can change anything -- true, false, or shades of gray! 
I had the same thing happen when someone claimed that a shopping center in my hometown had 5 anchor stores, when in fact it had 4 (they actually made up a department store name). I kept changing it and the other person kept changing it back. I finally created an account which allows you to explain why you made the change. So far, the original person has not changed it back.

Sorry I'm a little late on thsio one:
In THAT case, Wiki has an admin who is intent on deleting all classic logos, from TV stations, production companies, etc. He says that what he did was within his legal rights.
But nevertheless, he has driven many television purists up the wall.

Look under "Removal of Logo Galleries".
