martini Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Nice one Matt, great find. Just incase you didn't realise, Wikipedia is never wrong; so it's not a gaffe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo2810 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Someone must have removed it because I can't find the word poofs anywhere on that page ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Matt will no doubt discover as well, Wikipedia is in fact written by people and some of them like to have a joke every now and then. This happens frequently, and is usually "fixed" within a few minutes to stop the internet becoming a web of lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Awesome find, thanks for sharing it with us. Not a problem. Happy to brighten up your life. Someone must have removed it because I can't find the word poofs anywhere on that page ?? Must have been edited back. Oh well, strange topic to edit - while it lasted.

Matt H Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yeah, Wiki is a user built database, but I didn't realise it was moderated so effeciently! I remember some article where they tested the system out. Changed a whole load of things facts to something incorrect, from obvious stuff to the none so obvious. The simple things got changed back very quickly, but some of the less so obvious stuff didn't get altered back at all. That's a big problem really, as it's the not so obvious stuff you go on there looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
