Why is it that Wikipedians seem to have so much trouble accepting
legitimate criticism?

Wikipedia should be getting its facts *more* correct than the news
outlets, not less.  I remember a similar mess after the death of
[[Jean Charles de Menezes]].  Wikipedia articles repeated
unsubstantiated rumor as though it was fact.

Even now the [[Kenneth Lay]] article doesn't provide a reference next
to the assertion that "Kenneth Lay died from coronary artery disease".
 This should be unacceptable.
