Hmmm .... not good: in the midst of Wikipedia's push into new terrain, the amazing, collaborative, online people-powered encyclopedia is running into a few problems with its facts. The latest is a wrong - and hurtful- biography of John Seigenthaler, a retired journalist.
I suspect that none of this is new -- that is, Wikipedia has probably had problems with its facts since its birth. What I think has changed is that all eyes are now on Wikipedia, what with the ton of press it's gotten lately. Though this too will pass, no doubt, I wonder what Wikipedia's response will be to Mr. Seigenthaler.
