marcandalysse 0 #7 June 29, 2007 Welcome to Web 2.0, and the 21st Century!! You ain't seen nothing yet!I like Wikipedia ALOT though....always amazed at what I find on there.

BillyVance 34 #8 June 29, 2007 There's an interesting development related to the Chris Benoit family murder/suicide case... Someone updated Benoit's wikipedia page to announce his wife's death, SEVERAL HOURS (at least 14 hours) before the bodies were found by authorities... The IP address of the posting appeared to come from Stamford, CT, which is home to the WWE headquarters."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 633 #13 June 29, 2007 we had one up about skymama not too long ago actually....at least wiki is entertaining... I just laugh and get disappointed at the same time when people use it for reference.I've even seen papers submitted with wiki as reference...and thereby graded accordingly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
