Cobert Proves Wikipedia's Correctness

I was debating putting in 'Thruthiness' instead of 'Correctness' but since I've never watched the Cobert Report I don't think I'm allowed to say that...

In case you haven't seen or heard, Stephen Corbert analyzed Wikipedia and pointed out that 'anyone and everyone and edit any article you want' YouTube link. He then started going on about some Ninteen-Eighty Fourish idea of changing articles on Wikipedia so that it will be seen as fact.

I've written too many essays, posted on too many forums and discussed the quality of Wikipedia too many times to require me to do it all over again.

The neat thing though, is that while Stevie made an interesting point it was proven to be faulty.

Shortly after The Cobert Report mass vandalism hit Wikipedia hard but the Wikipedia staff quickly preveted any attempt at 're-writing the past' that Stevie playfully intended. As a result of these shenanigans, Steve got hit with Wikipedia's ban hammer. link

What really burns me about this is the fact that people actually went off and started vandalizing articles. Wikipeida is like an online library and ( hopefully ) you don't go into your local library and start ripping out and doddling on the pages.

The site is free for anyone to use in collecting and contributing information. Don't be a jack ass and ruin it for others.
