bleu - If you don't know something is inaccurate you can't fix it. That's my point. People go on there and blindly take whatever they read as being true.

There was a news story just this week, where someone described an experiment they did with wikipedia. I don't remember the exact details, but here's the gist of it;

- A composer died.

- The guy doing the experiment edited the composer's wiki page to include an elaborate quote of the last thing the composer said before he died.

- Several international newspapers ran a story on the composer's death, including the made up quote.

- It was only when the experimenter contacted the newspapers that they realised their error

- The newspapers published retractions and apologies, but the quote was already all over the internet on blogs etc.
