Why would you want to hack wilkipedia when you can edit anything on there?

Tuomas -> RE: Wikipedia is hacked!!!!! (4/9/2007 3:34:19 PM)
Hacked.... or just edited?

LadySeraphina -> RE: Wikipedia is hacked!!!!! (4/9/2007 3:35:35 PM)
So what DID happen until they fixed it? Perhaps a little something like the Great Colbert Elephant Debacle?

I heard on the news that anyone can edit any entry on Wikipedia.[:o]

I grew up with comic books and I still like Superman. So I watch Smallville. I know-it is just a soap opera with Superman thrown in, but I still watch. So I look up the Wikipedia entry on the actors. The entry for Tom Welling(Superman) says He is incredibly homosexual or something like that, just sort of chucked in there by some joker.

iwannapullurhair -> RE: Wikipedia is hacked!!!!! (4/9/2007 7:05:02 PM)
I looked again and they fixed it already.

I always see a strange entry or two there that I don't believe, but I still use it most all the time. It is great.

People vandalize the entries all the time but usually malicious edits are caught. To mutate a phrase - the price of internet information is eternal vigilance. That's not a bad thing. Z.

Well, the entire article was replaced by a comment said something like: "Go and search with Google. Most people who write(edit) are nerd guys who are still living with their mothers!". They fixed it quickly... I'm glad :)
