"edit wars" go on all the time. the Landmark article has gotten revised back and forth, I have noticed, as one of the people who went to some trouble to add and categorize a number of URL's to the External Links section only to have LEC supporters un-do my work.

as far as the "end of part 1" caption, I noticed that the Bit Torrent version of the documentary lists six files where the online version of the video has six. perhaps if you use Bit Torrent you get the whole version. (sorry if this post doesn't mean anything to those unfamiliar with the jargon.) update: the Bittorrent version also lacks the second part.

as I said on another thread, no one has to worry about the entry getting deleted. very little gets deleted from Wikipedia. what does pretty much comes down to obvious pranks and hoaxes and entries on very trivial subjects like people writing entries about their personal projects. even in the latter case, the entries tend to stay around.

Anticult, I seriously doubt the entry will get deleted. pretty much only prank entries and obscure entries written by people to promote themselves get deleted. also, it would seem pretty damn shady to make the entry go bye-bye and Wikipedians tend to pick up on that kind of thing.

I have the strong feeling that she wants to only do scare stories on safe targets rather than possible sources of controversy, like Landmark. she wants to come across everyone's friend and only expose the danger of, let's say, teenage drug use.

how could they have taken twelve(-ish) hours of footage per day? wouldn't they have had to change the tape at some point? that sounds managable if they had more than one participation taping, I suppose, with one taking over from the other at appointed times. I haven't seen the video so I wouldn't know if they explained it on the actual show.
