Errors in Wikipedia

The two mistakes are symptomatic of a continuing problem with Wikipedia: the ability of fanatics to post false information as if it were true. And if I could come up with two false stories, there must be lots more. I'm being "productive" by pointing out a serious flaw in Wikipedia's activities.

Warren, don't let the Wikipediots who love their error-filled encyclopedia get you down. I once chaired a study of three months' worth of edits to the 100 Wikipedia articles about the current US senators. Their articles were stocked with deliberately incorrect information about 6.8% of the time.

The University of Minnesota conducted a study about Wikipedia's "damaged views", and the error rate was found to be growing on what looked like a power curve.

The foolish Wikipedia-lovers enjoy bashing critics almost as much as they love maintaining an error-riddled and unaccountable libel site that is called an "encyclopedia" for tax purposes.
