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."

    I clicked on the Google link and it came up with an Google error page that said try again in 30 seconds.

    It seems to be working now.

    Slashdot 1, Google 0.

    ". . . using ellipsis as a comma."

    Well, you can't use the singular form of ellipsis in that sentence. You would have to use "ellipses". That would be like saying "bouncing ball" or "buying backpack" instead of "bouncing balls" and "buying backpacks". And you tell us to make our grammar and spelling as perfect as possible.

    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!
