Normaly I'd agree, but it's a 14-hour difference....Wikipedia would have to be headquatered out in bumfuck Europe somewhere. And even than, I don't think all would add up.

Not to mention the edit came from the same town as WWE headquaters. This smells more fishy than Rosie O'Donnel's downstairs.

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. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santos-Dumont or search for Santos-Dumont, a founder of early plane designs.

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.

the problem I have with wiki is the serious lack of accuracy...popularity doesn't mean too much to me to be honest.....I'd rather have facts and accurate history.
any shmoe can create an entry and change existing ones....wtf?

Anybody remember the entry for Remster sometime last year? That was funny!

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
