The Wikipedia Post




This evening, I read an article on ESPN.com about the imminent retirement of Frank Broyles, who has been either football coach or athletic director at the University of Arkansas since 1958. This led me to look up something on Wikipedia related to this event, where I read the following sentence: "Houston Nutt is married to his wife, Diana."

Really? He's married to his wife? That's amazing! How did he manage that?!?

And here, folks, is why Wikipedia is a bad thing. ANYONE CAN EDIT IT. This is not good. If we're going to have a widely accessed online reference tool available for anyone to edit, then we're only helping the sort of people who want Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments shown after An Inconvenient Truth because we need to hear both sides of the argument on global warming.
