From Wired News: "By now I'm sure you've all heard about the double homicide and suicide of WWE pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and their seven-year old son. Well, a new twist has revealed itself, within the pages of Wikipedia. According to FoxNews, someone updated Chris Benoit's Wikipedia page, with an entry on his wife's death. Problem is, it was posted 13 hours before the police found the three bodies in Atlanta."

In the edit, an admin says words to the effect that, WP is not a news source. We can think of examples when it has been. I am not writing anyone was wrong here. JAB5 who modified the original entry is now famous.
This situation makes me wonder about privacy and what WP does with that? Think about China for a minute. I realize the IP address was there for anyone to look at in this case.
