Wiki-fooled

Sometimes I find Wikipedia very handy for some quick reference. But my PhD supervisor always cautioned her students against relying too much on Wikipedia. Some of the write-ups may not be accurate or may just be someone's mere opinion or may just be totally false, as opposed to containing hard facts.

One of my favourite writers, Peter David, wrote this account on his blog regarding the sequel to the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks". But of course, when I checked, the details have been cleaned up by Wikipedia. Nonetheless, it'd be fun to actually find such erroneous details (which may just be someone's idea of fooling around) in Wikipedia.

So, double check when you use Wikipedia, lest we be fooled ourselves.
