The perils of anonymity: Revenge, ego and the corruption of Wikipedia
Have a look at this brilliant article from Salon’s Andrew Leonard.
In it he forensically examines the work of one Wikipedia editor [Qworty] who used Wikipedia’s culture of anonymity to pursue old vendettas. In doing so, Qworty made thousands of edits, many of which have been proven fallacious.
A great illustration of the caution that is needed when using Wikipedia and other unverified sources of information.
