Wikipedia founder 'shot by friend of Siegenthaler'
World mourns Lazarus for the Web 2.0 generation

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has been shot dead, according to Wikipedia, the online, up-to-the-minute encyclopedia.

Apparently, the assassin was a "friend" of the victim of a recent controversy which ironically, smeared former Robert F Kennedy aid John Seigenthaler as a suspect in the assassination of both Kennedy brothers. That claim, which the site carried for several months, along with the assertion that Seigenthaler had lived in Russia, was eventually proved false.

"At 18:54 EST on December 12, John Seigenthaler's wife, who was infuriated at Wikipedia regarding the recent scandal regarding his role in the Kennedy Assassination, came into the house, where Jim was having dinner. Wearing a mask, he [sic] shot him three times in the head and ran," reported the online reference source.

The free-for-all, write-it-yourself website prides itself on its fact checking. :oops: (continues...)

actually, their math entries are pretty sound. I have as of late found some stuff on wick for a clickable link people could follow to a subject that i couldn't find anywhere else, but you absolutely have to know where those sources come from,..

they tend to be good for HARD FACTs, or pop culture.
