I don't know why I ever bother to look at the Wikipedia Review site... the antics of the malcontents and morons there always make my blood boil. But the latest stupid accusation they're making against Wikipedia is that we're supposedly infecting people with viruses:
We have had external links to evil content in the past.
We've had media files which were were nothing more than exe's renamed to .jpg or .ogg.
We currently have about 80 external links to exe files (although I've scanned all of them with clamav and they all pass, if someone can suggest other free tools which can run on *nix.. that would be useful)
Even if you ignore all the other formats which can act as attack vectors on typical windows boxes.
So, just because they are crazy doesn't mean there isn't a point....
