Edited Belgium out of Wikipedia WWI page?

[Alex_Zues]

I just can't help but wonder why?
I went to check out Wikipedia's page on 'List of Infantry Weapons of World War I', [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_infantry_weapons_of_World_War_I] and noticed the Kingdom of Belgium wasn't there. Just gone. But I could've sworn in the past I had seen it before. So I looked into the 'view history' section in the top right of the screen near the search bar, where you can check the 'Revision History Search'.

Well, I was right, there are older versions of the page [such as http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php...ons_of_World_War_I&diff=prev&oldid=613306047] where amongst other things, you can find the 'Kingdom of Belgium' as a sub section.

What confuses me is... why? Why would someone edit out Belgium? Individual weapons I can understand, but whole Countries is strange.

I don't know about this particular case, but I read an article recently about the culture of Wikipedia contributors. Apparently there is a hierarchy of posters/editors. They often baselessly criticize each others work and frequently edit and sabotage each others work. Basically it's like CGN. One more reason to not trust any info from Wikipedia.

This happens in every Wiki and forums on the planet: what you have said is so true that no truth can be said more true. IMHO anyways...
