Originally, Wikipedia allowed anyone to update its entries. But a series of malicious incidents — including changes to George W Bush’s page that saw it having to be corrected an incredible 40,000 times, and an entry giving former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s middle name as ‘Whoop de doo’ — soon forced the site to rethink its policy. In 2009, it was forced to recruit 20,000 editors to stop falsification of entries.
All better now.
Man, this Pune rag really loves to blather on (falsely) about Wikipedia, doesn't it? No wonder Jimbo and Sue are so high on the subcontinent. Seems to be a place where the "factual" part of facts is not so important.
