Wikipedia founder shot dead ?

Technologies of Cooperation, The Evolution of Reputation

'The World mourns Lazarus for the Web 2.0 generation' reports The Register as they announce that "according to Wikipedia" Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has been shot dead.

Apparently, the assassin was a "friend" of the victim of a recent controversy which ironically, smeared former Robert F Kennedy aid John Seigenthaler as a suspect in the assassination of both Kennedy brothers. That claim, which the site carried for several months, along with the assertion that Seigenthaler had lived in Russia, was eventually proved false.

The "news" of Jimmy Wales death consisted of Jimmy Wales a random edit to his own, particularly fulsome entry on the encyclopedia he helped create.
