Los Angeles - The committee in charge of user-edited online encyclopedia Wikipedia voted unanimously this week to block contributions to the site from IP addresses owned or operated by the Church of Scientology, after a lengthy arbitration determined that users were editing Wikipedia articles in the church's interest. "You could imply that there is a conflict of interest," Wikipedia spokesman Dan Rosenthal told ABC News. "Rather than two unrelated people getting together," advocates of scientology have been "getting together, saying, 'Let's work together to make this a more pro-scientology article.'"
