I still find it really surprising that people who purport to write useful columns and articles, even if its blogging and not mainstream news, do such piss poor research. If it were me, I'd be embarrassed to have written something that demonstrates such a high level of ignorance and misunderstanding - particularly since Wikipedia and Wikimedia are not, in any sense, minor elements of the Web world and ArsTechnica is, supposedly, "plugged in" to the Web and technology.
Ad-banner trolling.
The tech press in general are whores, cheap diseased ones. Previously whores to print advertisers, now whores to ad-banner trolling. So unsubstantiable bullshit is the order of the day, because IT GETS THE CLICKS.
It's so much nicer dealing with the mainstream press - at least they can spell "journalism."
