The Sunday Times (the most popular British Sunday

done a hatchet job on Wikipedia pointing out that it is riddled by

just to keep the vandalism at bay, it quotes Jimmy as saying:
"I thought it would be overrun with idiots but there are far more
people doing good than those who try to be harmful."
Mind you, when WP has more people keeping the idiots at bay rather
than writing content (as most likely is the case now), something has
gone wrong.

Damn it, where's the edit button? Or at least a "comment" button?
They slander us for being wrong some of the time, but they won't even
let people comment on how accurate THEY are???
