Professor Taner Akçam, falsely branded a terrorist in Wikipedia ten years ago
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen doesn't think much of Wikipedia's reliability, and for a good reason. Wikipedia has tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of biographies of sportspeople, and they are both prone to vandalism (see the 1 July article in Fansided for another example illustrating the problem) and often not very diligently watched. Caveat lector.

I commented on a related issue back in April here. (I haven't yet looked into this story to see if there is any relationship to Dataminr or In-Q-Tel) Wnt (talk) 20:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- "Anyone who believes Wikipedia is an idiot", that's cold. That'll teach me not to ignore those mass BLP unsourced rubbish that keeps getting added to sports people while WP:RC patrolling. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 08:01, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
