False Wikipedia

This article was about a biography of a guy that had a made up biography on wikipedia an ended up on answers.com and websites like it. That is what is bad about wikipedia is that it can have false information. It can be modified and changed by anyone that wants to change it. When it first started out I remember using it for projects and everything but after about a year of it being out now no teachers allow it as a source. This guy in the article wanted to know who wrote it and the wikipedia owners couldn't even tell him because its completely random. It just goes to show you that words still hurt no matter how old you are. This guy was 78 and he went through a lot just to find out who wrote those fake things about him and still never found out. He said about that life lesson his mom showed him and it was so true. Once something is out there it can never be taken back. Especially in the internet once it is posted it is forever there even if you deleted it.
