Mayor of Florence Sues Wikipedia

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the vote-quimby dept.

ZioBit writes "Florence Mayor Leonardo Domenici and one of the city assessors are suing (Google translation) Wikipedia on the basis of a (possible) defamation regarding the handling of public parkings assignation to a private company, "Florence Parking". The apparent problem is that both of their wives are members of the board of directors of "Florence Parking", and Wikipedia is reporting it."

    Firstly, these exceptions are narrow and not relevant to this discussion, bringing them up is immature pedantry.

    Without immature pedantry, every Slashdot story would have, at most, 5 posts. Who modded this funny? It's fucking insightful!
