The "worst state" was in place on Wikipedia for 20 minutes. The page gets about http://stats.grok.se/en/201009/Kerala per day, so in 20 minutes, perhaps 69 people opened the page before anyone did anything to correct it. Now it will be enshrined on Google for probably a few hours, maybe a day or two. I'd be curious to know how long before Google overwrites it.

The cache for Wikipedia's Goatse.cx page is from 27 August http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:OVlMUio-NDUJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx
And the cock and ball torture page from 21 August http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:QHWFGxWS4lwJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_and_Ball_Torture_%28band%29
I suspect Google does some smart monitoring, whereby changes that are updated frequently within a given site are updated more frequently.
Good job Wikipedia has flagged changes, so that this kind of crap doesn't make it into search engines. Oh wait.

I didn't check again for about 12 hours, but it's been "fixed" by Google now.
