Stephen Colbert did a segment on his show last night about how easy it is to edit Wikipedia.
Watch:
Not being able to resist, I checked out the Wikipedia entries for The Colbert Report (currently protected from editing until disputes have been resolved) and Elephant (displaying a “stable” version).
Then I saw this post by the Tawker who is the person that blocked Colbert:
In all, we ended up protecting 20 elephant related pages (I’m not listing them all here, I only have so much disk space 🙂 , my stats for the the anti vandalism bots show 250 or so elephant related pages reverts. Most were, you guessed it, the fact that the population tripled – way too many times (repetition my friend).
Gold, I tell you. That Wikipedia is Gold!
