Similar to the story of adding one more name for a German politician. This seems very hypocritical of "traditional" sources, to call Wikipedia unreliable, and then copy it verbatim. How many more embarrassments do they need to take before they stop?

Subject: [WikiEN-l] False quote regarding Maurice Jarre

Fox News picks up Reuters story regarding the late French composer Maurice Jarre:

Reuters interviewed Shane Fitzgerald, the Irish student who made up the false quote on Jarre's Wikipedia biography.

Your thoughts???
