Re: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, a bunch of wankers



In article <45bf8578@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, erty@xxxxxxxx says...
I was interested to hear this week on BBC world program "click" from this
week, that they gave out a warning on Wikipedia.com as "readers beware"

It appears to be that Microsoft found a lot of errors at the web site and
offered to fix them up free (free, how interesting) anyway Microsoft were
turned down,

Microsoft wanted to PAY people to update what THEY think is wrong
information. Wikipedia has blocked companies and users who have been
PAID to write up articles. The idea of Wikipedia is open, free,
information.
