Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia, has been plunged into controversy after one of its most prolific contributors and editors, a professor of religion with advanced degrees in theology and canon law, was exposed as a 24-year-old community college drop-out.The Lord only knows how many Wikipedia entries have been written by assorted dropouts, geeks, nerds and ne'er-do-wells. But then any organization whose combined entries for every sci-fi movie ever made no doubt vastly outnumber such arcane matters as presidents and playwrights would of course be a refuge for GET A LIFES!
How apt too:
The New Yorker (yes,
The New Yorker) and its celebrated fact checkers fell for the guy, which doesn't say too much for
them either.
P. S. Nothing yet in Slashdot, another refuge for GET A LIFES! They may be too embarrassed to post it.
P. P. S. More
here.
