[WikiEN-l] In the news...

A slightly creepy loner who has been frightening women in his 
neighbourhood by hanging around their houses and trying to talk to
them about military history and Star Wars has been ordered by a judge
to serve his community service on Wikipedia.

Solicitors representing Carl Peterson, from Ipswich, admitted that
Carl had always found it very difficult to talk to members of the
opposite sex, and had no idea that they might be slightly disturbed by
having him wait outside their front doors to recite the fatality
statistics at Nagasaki. Now as well as a restraining order, the court
instructed that Carl serve his community service by sharing his
expertise, writing and editing articles on the online encyclopaedia.
