Wikipedia?

[anon361]

Just curious, we all use it, you can't do a google search without it being in the top few hits but have you ever edited something on it you knew to be wrong?
I have, it was something simple and only reason I was certain what was being said was wrong was because of my local knowledge of the subject but I wouldn't try change anything I was unsure of or couldn't prove.
Was your edit upheld or did one of the moderators change it back?
Have you ever done it to take the piss, I don't think I would do it for that reason but I'm sure the moderators on that site have a major pain in their arses changing crap people change for laughs..


Ps, I dedicate this thread to Doozer, without his inspiration it would never have happened

Wikipedia is brilliant.

A couple of years ago I messed around with it, editing Irish politicians' articles to take the piss, but my gags were always spotted and reverted pretty quickly.

Have used it from time to time but always take it with a pinch of salt.

Have never edited it though.
