It might be of interest, that both the Britannica and Encarta websites still state that Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone despite the US congress passing a resolution in 2001 acknowleding that it was infact invented by Antonio Meucci http://www.popular-science.net/history/meucci_congress_resolution.html - whereas of course Wikipedia was corrected some time ago.
