Golfer Sues Over Vandalized Wikipedia Entry

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the setting-the-record-straight dept.

coondoggie writes "Pro golfer Fuzzy Zoeller is suing to track down the author of what Zoeller says is a defamatory paragraph about him on the Wikipedia site. In an Associated Press story Zoeller's attorney, Scott Sheftall, said he filed a lawsuit against a Miami firm last week because the law won't allow him to sue Wikipedia."

    b) wikipedia is NOT a good source for info, it is a start because you can get conspiracy theories too :)
    c) go play with your balls
    d) fuck golf

    The very fact that someone could have conceivably sued Wikipedia is the reason why I'm afraid to start a business in this country.

    You should be afraid to start a business because YOU ARE AN ILLITERATE MORON! Zoeller isn't suing Wikipedia.
