Wikipedia vandalism follow-up

The NYTimes had an interesting follow-up to John Seigenthaler's USA Today op/ed on the false information included in his Wikipedia "biography."

Turns out a Nashville delivery manager made the changes to pull a prank on a friend of Seigenthaler's. He naturally thought Wikipedia was a gag site to start with since it let him make the changes without any verification. Worse yet, the false information was propagated to other sites including reference.com and answers.com. Who knew people actually relied on that information as factual?

Of course, I tried to make the point about questionable authors last year when I made some random (but truthful) changes to our school's page available here. Can you tell if it was really me who made the changes? Under what names or which IP addresses?

Nothing like questioning the credibility of online identities during finals, eh? Care to wager whether we will still find more prior art references in the USPTO database after this?
