I think as per Wikipedia policies it was removed: in order to make edits those policies must be abided by strictly, because though the content provided is copyright the editors (licensed according to Wikipedia's requirements) they are still guests of that encyclopedia: the editors there did a ton of work and also ferreted-out GC-tampering (I remember GC leadership telling us how they got editors on it to "balance" it, and then checked it in horror of the meddling and slop-work).
Basically, though, GCers were tampering with work being done by many people, not just those here even (I think), and independent reviewers approved, however, of the non-GC work and edits when they checked it, and since it's been pretty settled minus some automated changes to remove copyright images.
And the above is just from memory, so I don't guarantee it all as perfect, but I think I'm correct here, and giving what I honestly think is accurate; however the person to really talk to is Nate, as he was once a GC-editor, and then repented of the under-handedness they were ordering him and came and told us here that he was sick of it and sorry. I think he still works with GCM too, and is pretty open with some of the leadership within (sometimes says he talks to some of them about things).
So off the top of my head he'd be the guy to private message, or open-message, or whatever.
