An Irishman punked journalists through Wikipedia, not realizing beforehand that many modern journalists don’t verify their sources. Time crunch, no doubt.

A couple years ago a friend of mine created a wikipedia page about a nonexistent town in Kentucky. It’s still up.
Wikipedia is built on virtues like honesty, trust, community spirit … when people intentionally run counter to that, they break the trust.
Kind of analogous to what happens in the Church Militant from time to time.
At any single moment, both are rife with sin and sinners. But, over time, both should come out okay in the end.
At least that’s what I believe.
Ehren, that’s incredible. What town is it? He must of attributed some things to reliable sources (which weren’t looked into) for it still be up, or maybe the editor of that part of the wikipedia was asleep.
Tom, I’m not sure what you’re saying exactly, so I’ll let it go.
Ehren, as a native son of Kentucky, I am shocked and offended that anyone would do such a thing. Also, please give me directions to said town, I would like to visit.
