congressional edits and Nature fixes
It seems that some congresspersons have been having their staffs edit their Wikipedia entries.
Also, Wikipedia announced today that that they have corrected all of the errors identified in the December Nature study. This means they were fixed in 42 days — an impossible task for codex encyclopedias.

So apparently this staff members are computer literate enough to realize that there is such a thing as a wikepedia, but not literate enough to realize that they leave their IP address when they edit entries?
It's nice to know that those who would keep us misinformed are generally too dumb to pull it off, isn't it?

A terrific point you're making here, one that I think antiWikipedians just aren't considering: how quickly errors can be corrected.
