Lmao, I just read that.  It was on slashdot's RSS Atom feed which displays on Gmail.

It's against there guidelines for posting/editing articles.  There's some information here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About#Wikipedia_content_criteria).

You mean a Wikipedia article may not *sarcastic gasp* be accurate?

I used to subscribe to Slashdot's RSS feed that displays on Firefox.  My technology owns you. :-P

And by the way, breaking guidelines isn't illegal.

I was responding to Sidoh. 

But according to a reply on Slashdot, there's a law protecting them from slander/libel/whatever.
