Okay, it took me all of five minutes to figure out that the school in question is
Niles West High School in Skokie, Illinois. The edits in question have been oversighted out of existence, but as of now there's a reference to them in
this diff, for what that's worth. A more detailed version of the story is on the
Chicago Tribune's website.
Not much that's interesting, IMO - after all, people use Wikipedia to harass and threaten others all the time - but this quote was interesting, from the Tribune story:
QUOTE
The threat, which authorities declined to describe, was submitted to the online encyclopedia-like Web site Wikipedia, but wasn't posted.
Submitted but not posted? What the heck does that mean? It had to be an edit just like any other, right? They don't have the funky new German-only approval system in place (yet), so this has to be incorrect. Presumably the Faithful were worried this incident would make them look bad, so they made up a blatant lie to cover up the fact that anyone can post threats on their website?
Shameless.
