More on Wikipedia

The man who created a false biography for another person on Wikipedia was tracked down by another man who was a victim of a similar false bio on Wikipedia. What is interesting about this is that it wasn't someone from Wikipedia who did the tracking down, it was a private individual who had his own disagreements with the Wikipedia administrators. The Wikipedia administrators didn't take the responsibility to find out who was using the site for their own purposes.

Note that although the article is entitled "Wikipedia Prankster Expresses Remorse", he didn't do any expressing until he got caught: Wikipedia Prankster Expresses Remorse
