Big Ol' Smitty 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2007 Courts Turn to Wikipedia, but Selectively By NOAM COHEN Published: January 29, 2007 When a court-appointed special master last year rejected the claim of an Alabama couple that their daughter had suffered seizures after a vaccination, she explained her decision in part by referring to material from articles in Wikipedia, the collaborative online encyclopedia. Wikipedia entries are being cited by judges in their legal rulings. The reaction from the court above her, the United States Court of Federal Claims, was direct: the materials “culled from the Internet do not — at least on their face — meet” standards of reliability. The court reversed her decision. Oddly, to cite the “pervasive, and for our purposes, disturbing series of disclaimers” concerning the site’s accuracy, the same Court of Federal Claims relied on an article called “Researching With Wikipedia” found — where else? — on Wikipedia. (The family has reached a settlement, their lawyer said.) A simple search of published court decisions shows that Wikipedia is frequently cited by judges around the country, involving serious issues and the bizarre — such as a 2005 tax case before the Tennessee Court of Appeals concerning the definition of “beverage” that involved hundreds of thousands of dollars, and, just this week, a case in Federal District Court in Florida that involved the term “booty music” as played during a wet T-shirt contest. More than 100 judicial rulings have relied on Wikipedia, beginning in 2004, including 13 from circuit courts of appeal, one step below the Supreme Court. (The Supreme Court thus far has never cited Wikipedia.)... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/29/technolo...ED/FmeHgbcECXJw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 30, 2007 This is one of my favorite ones I found recently. It's like easter eggs! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_manager These are usually known quantities that are very expensive productions and have a guaranteed audience because of their location. Typically, they are on cruise ships, in theme parks, Las Vegas or destination resorts such as Branson, Missouri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandy 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 I know Branson is not as big a tourist attraction as Paris and Vegas, but the article was about stage hands or whatever they called them. It said destination resorts, like Branson, MO. Perhaps it is because of all the venues they have on a stage? I don't think they were trying to pimp it out as the greatest place in the world.

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 "Resort destinations" are funny things. You have a city/town that's pushing itself as a destination and that's pretty much all that would normally motivate you to go and see it. Charleston's pushed as one now, but before that already had a vibrant tourist economy due to history and how the place looks like a time capsule in some downtown areas. Branson had none of these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 31, 2007 And it still doesn't! That's like me telling someone that Barstow, CA is a great tourist destination, when really it's just a stop on the way to Vegas from L.A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2007 Branson is an awful place, partly because of the whole country culture (especially country "comedy", yeehaw), and partly because the geographic layout of the town makes me feel like I'll fall off a cliff if I pull off the main strip.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2007 Back to the subject of wonderful wiki edits, from the article on Holocaust Denial In January 2007, the German government moved to criminalize Holocaust denial and the parading of Nazi symbols across the European Union, but after being told they're acting like Nazis themselves, they decided not to.
