Long-Term Wikipedia Vandalism Exposed

Daveydweeb writes, "The accuracy of Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, came into question again when a long-standing article on 'NPA personality theory' was confirmed to be a hoax. Not only had the article survived at Wikipedia for the better part of a year, but it had even been listed as a 'Good Article,' supposedly placing it in the top 0.2-0.3% of all Wikipedia articles — despite being almost entirely written by the creator of the theory himself."

I dont know what the big deal is about wikipedia containing false information.. FFS its the internet.. its not the only site that has false information, and people bitching about a 0.1% statistic.. c'mon.. thats just stupid.. does people not got anything better to do other than complain about BS like this? im sure you can find things in websters that isn't 100% fact if you look hard enough.. or at least some of you ppl would try to dispute it.. things like this irritate me.. keep it off slashdot!
