No offense, but the joke is not on Wikipedia, but on those members of
the mainstream press who republished something from a Wikipedia

It's not some dark little secret that information on Wikipedia is

unsourced. There are disclaimers and disclaimers and disclaimers.
I don't think Jimbo is going to be the least bit worried. I know the
Foundation isn't.
