I read an article in a trashy free daily commuter

Wikipedia's servers might have been "hijacked", and it was surprising
that we didn't have any kind of "protection". Supposedly "Wikipedia
did not return mX's call."

Actually, it might not be a terrible idea to send them a letter. If
it's a reputable publication, they'll correct. They'll also be more
careful next time, no one likes publishing corrections. What paper was
it, anyway?
