The below is quite well stated, and sets a good example for how deal with this in a meta article.
Would it make sense to have '[[Siegenthaler incident]]?' article on en.wiki? As always, NPOV would requires that we avoid unnecessarily diplomatic language. Someone could write a K5 article...

It's been interesting to note the errors, minor and major, in the news coverage of this incident. One radio report in Chicagoland reported that Seigenthaler was a former Senator.
At least
one blog report demanded absolute accuracy -- while misspelling Seigenthaler's name consistently throughout. Almost all the print and electronic media articles I've seen misreport Wikipedia's URL as www.wikipedia.com (instead of .org). The conclusion I've reached is that the media is no more accurate than we are. I think it would be a really good idea to take the media coverage of this incident and identify all the errors in their coverage -- some of which reaches the level of libel itself (such as the one that says that Jimbo ignored Seigenthaler's entreaties for four months before bothering to act). Their house is no cleaner than ours.
