Tuesday, December 27, 2005

An incident in which a former Tennessee publisher was linked to the Kennedy assassination on Wikipedia has called the accuracy of the user-edited website into question. What do you think?

Ken Wagner,
Colorist
"Well, I believe everything I read, but since I don't pay attention, no harm done."

Betsy Anderson,
Production Assistant
"This throws skepticism on all previous information I've received from Wikipedia! How can I now trust that acetic acid is in fact an organic compound best recognized for giving vinegar its sour taste and smell?"

Sigmund Stern,
Lawyer
"What does it say on Wikipedia about this?"
