Golfer Sues Over Vandalized Wikipedia Entry
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."
...on the matter. :-) On topic, this man is clearly an egotistical idiot. Most people would just try to get it worked out with Wikipedia (get the info corrected / removed), or failing that, just shrug something like this off. However, the fact that he's suing about it (how utterly infantile) is counter-productive to his goal: to not look like an ass in front of the Internet-using world. Well, congratulations "Fuz", I had no idea who you were until today. But now that you're suing somebody over a wiki entry, now I know you're an idiot.
Working in a DevOps shop is like playing in a band made up entirely of keytarists.
mu!
Naw, who are we kidding? He beats the HELL out of her!
Sue me now, Fuzzy!
blah blah blah
a) That shouldn't have to matter to him.
b) That is why Wikipedia is a cute experiment that has outgrown its lifespan.

A Wikibook administrator should know that the software is called MediaWiki.
