School sues over Wikipedia post
The title says it all:
A high school in Nebraska, USA is suing over entries posted on Wikipedia – the website that “anyone can edit” that’s popular with teenagers and the unemployed. Wikipedia itself isn’t the target of the lawsuit from Skutt High School, nor are many of the sites that legally or illegally scrape Wikipedia’s content.
The school has filed a John and Joe Doe lawsuit to identify the perps behind edits which, AP reports, “… include sharp criticism of Skutt principal Patrick Slattery, obscene language and a note about drug use by students.”
“These particular edits were really harmful and mean-spirited,” said Patrick Flood, a lawyer for Skutt told AP.
Isn’t the Wikipedia very clear that their site should not be used as a point of reference, rather then a bunch of editorials?
