Now Silver is calling Gawker
"the news", and claiming some sort of smug satisfaction of the fact that this top notch "news" outlet is poking fun at Wikipedia for being "idiotically bureaucratic". How old are you Silver? Gawker is an online tabloid, not "the news." The news couldn't care less if this guy was gay, straight, bi or into furry fandom. This fight is now spilling over onto one of Wikipedia's bigger problems, which is the slow process of turning a reference source into a collection of completely meaningless trivia by gossip hounds, fans and hobbyists. The problem with crowd sourcing is that the crowds are often interested in complete crap.
