From the article: Last November, false information was appended to the Wiki biography
of American journalist John Seigenthaler Sr., suggesting he played a role in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The erroneous facts made their way into the mainstream media as truth.
Is this true? I hadn't heard that anyone had actually relayed the information as truth. There was speculation about how many millions of internet viewers had believed the article (without any of them correcting it), but I hadn't heard this.

I'm not particularly found of that last line "Try to add something and see how it lasts", but at least he hammers on the fact you always need to cross check and that even in a class of ninth-graders cooperative editing works better than one thinks.
