What this tells me is that most people use Wikipedia to look up "trivia", a term that has been banished from Wikipedia in favor of "In Popular Culture"...
I know this may come as a shock, but the majority of people in the world are not all that interested in STEM, and those that are do research on specific STEM interests elsewhere.
Wikipedia is a great resource for writing high school and undergraduate "term papers", though...
So the line-up is like this: Main Page followed by "Hyphen-minus" and 404 Page Not Fount, then Donald Trump. And what's after Donald J. Trump, you may ask? Why, XHampster of course!
When "smart" meters first hit the scene a few years ago, people brought up these very issues. I'm surprised that in that time they have not been addressed, though I know I shouldn't be surprised...
Sydney Brownstone at The Stranger (Seattle "alt: weekly) did a whole slew of articles on this guy who actually used to work at The Stranger. The dude is also up on rape charges, and there's some question if the ladies claimed rape only after the fraud, and if that's legit.
This has some real potential! Find "abandoned" articles and just, you know, "move in" and own 'em like a god! Beat back any mamby pamby so-called potentially pesky fellow editors, establish a line and stand on it!
So, real question, just because no one is actively editing or owning an article, does that really mean they are "abandoned" ?

I hope they don't do something stupid like add additional content like they did with THX1138.
Neutron star my ass!

...Sorry, not a clue. Off to Soylent News I go!
Really?
If he filmed any sex acts with a 17 year old, he's done.
Read the article. The point is he didn't film and sex acts because he's not a porn producer.
"between the ages of 17 and..."
Thanks for playing: go directly to jail. Goodbye!

Let the "PHP is crap" comments roll!

it's hard to keep unpaid volunteers interested in doing the drudge work for any length of time.

Hate to say, they will not win. Once that 10 mil is gone to paychecks and lawyers, there will be some people looking for work...

If there is an "alternate source", why use the pay-walled sources?
So the FBI is just now discovering this? And we should have a lot of faith that they will "get to the bottom" of this?
When products like these come out, the real story will be the ones that DON'T have crap like this installed.
wait, calculators? are we sure his story isn't from the 1980s?
Not an engineer, eh?
Actually, the article specifically mentions Texas Instruments.
