It's been almost a month since I put out the latest article on it, but for those of you who have been following this Lisbon earthquake / Washington Post / roving priests / Jay Robert Nash story, I have what may be the last piece to the puzzle of how this bit of legend made it into Wikipedia as fact. Nash, the Post, and our contributor were still all wrong in the end; we're still the only ones who have corrected the mistake.

To recap: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2005-02-14/Misinfo... (the original story) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2006-04-24/Jay_Rob... (the follow-up about Nash) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost/2006-04-24/Ja... (the final explanation)
