But don't you see that what you have written there is the essence of what 
the article **should** say? It should be expanded a bit, but you've 
summarised it nicely.

If Wikipedia is to become the best repository of organised knowledge on the 
Internet, then if we **don't** mention something for which people are likely 
to search, we're going to look stupid.

If, on the other hand, we can authoritatively say "this guy was the victim 
of a prank meme, no more to see here", then people can be satisfied that 
they understand what is happening.

HTH HAND
