Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting Wikipedia Mystery

Here’s a real mystery.

Remember how the Pulitzer Centre on Crisis Reporting funded the ARGENTINIAN based photographer Marco Vernaschi to do a project on child sacrifice which involved him having at least three children’s bodies dug up so he could take pictures of their mutilated remains?

It made for a noteworthy paragraph on their Wikipedia entry. Well it used to because the paragraph has mysteriously been deleted … by someone based in Argentina.

I wonder who that could be?

    Well, duh, obviously it’s down to Maradona. You can’t trust him.

    I’m surprised you don’t think it was really me who deleted it so I could stir some controversy Glenn Beck style so we can sell some more workshops

    I honestly thought that sort of thing didn’t really happen with wikipedia anymore, guess I need to get out from under this rock soon and rejoin the technological revolution.

    They deleted all the comments in their webpage too. Without leaving any not about that. The only comment they have now is one saying the project was a great project and attacking me.

    Hi,

    Thank you for drawing our attention to the missing comments. It appears this happened site-wide on content previously hosted on Typepad, our old blogging platform. We recently upgraded our website, and in the process lost the visibility of all old comments not posted through disqus. We’re fixing it now and I’ll post an update here when the comments are back up.

    Thanks again for bringing this to our attention, and all best,
    Maura Youngman, Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
