In a book or newspaper, the editor has the final word. No Wikipedia
*ever* has the final word. From a functional perspective, "real"
editors and Wikipedia editors are similar. From an authority
perspective, they're vastly different. And it's the authority side
that is misreported all the time in newspapers.
