It's phrased like this is some big evil scheme going on but looking at the edits it's exactly the kind of stuff I believe the government should keep up to date on Wikipedia.

seemed to me like it was explicitly phrased so you WOULDN'T think that.

imagine the title (and source) if they were making controversial edits?

I think he's bothered by the vaguely sinister use of "anonymous". It's a true adjective, of course, but not really worth including in the title unless you're trying to imply something bad (and get page views).
it being vague is the reason i concluded it wasn't part of a big evil scheme.

if this was part of some "big evil scheme", the title would be far less innocent. do you disagree?

so to say it is "phrased like this is some big evil scheme" seems disingenuous. i try not to make assumptions, especially when it comes to headlines and "news".
