Slightly confused article headed "The wiki-snobs are taking over" by Giles Hattersley. Misnames 'administrators' as 'arbitrators'. Towards the end the author claims "My entry features at least two errors, one libellous (unless my mother has been keeping a dark secret, I am not Roy Hattersley's son)" which has me befuddled since there is no entry on Giles Hattersley nor was there ever one (unless it's been oversighted).
The Telegraph spots the same problem:

You have to love an article which explains how we are prone to silly inaccuracies which itself, er, demonstrates a lack of editorial fact-checking...
Oh, but I love even more the way my comment below the article pointing this out has apparently been "moderated". Still, I wonder what he was thinking of - did he phone the office and ask someone, who did a remarkably bad job? Does he know how to purchase an Internet? This list of interviews suggests he might be more at home with Abba revivals and Kelly Brook:
