When Bad Wiki Posts Happen To Good People

December 12, 2005

The question of the validity of Wikipedia comes to light when such pranks are brought to light. We use Wikipedia a lot around TMC and I have found the quality of the reference tool to be excellent. The strength of Wikipedia is the ability to have anyone and everyone add to and update it. This is also a glaring weakness. I can’t see a simple solution to problems like this which means we may see copycats in the future.
