For another look at how ridiculous Wikipedia can be with the back-and-forth “facts” (even simple ones), you may enjoy reading this:

Meanwhile, I’m not going to show disrespect for Jonathan Hochman, but I do have to wonder how he manages to get “real work” done, with all of the time he spends on Wikipedia. Over 28,000 edits:

Heck, I *own* a wiki site (with over 50,000 pages), and I have maybe one-quarter that edit count — much of it slapping {{Greeting}} template on new editors’ User talk pages (which takes about 8 seconds). Hochman’s typical edits require quite a bit of time, conjecture, and word choice:

I’ll never forget one exchange I had with Hochman. First, from out of the blue, he wrote this about my enterprise on Wikipedia:

In fact, Wikipedia Review had no interest whatsoever in the Orbitz Worldwide “affair”. So, I called Hochman to ask, “What are you talking about in that edit, that you have ‘information that is not public’?”

He IMMEDIATELY said, “Do you want me to delete that? I can delete that, because I have no interest in embarrassing you publicly.”

What the hell? Very fishy.
