Why the link to Wikipedia article on the 1993 WTC bombing?
Does Gothamist not know that Wikipedia is a joke? Here is proof!

Lillo Brancato wins the Award for Worst Human Being of the week.

What a marvelous Piece of S___ this man is. The worst part: Holywood will line up for this sort of Crap.

those sheets for two sound awesome!

except that revision you linked to was only available for three total minutes before it was corrected again. you're the only joke here toby. stop trying to be deceitful.

First, beautiful picture of The City. Well done.

Second, God bless Emilie Muse.

Third, it is curious that most of the mainstream Media has not picked up on the fact that today is the anniversary of the first WTC bombing.

Then again, does noting the anniversary honor the dead and victims or promote the terrorists' actions?

I am not sure of the right answer.

Wikipedia - As a test, I personally have placed false information on Wikipedia and the longest it stayed undetected was 6 months. Some faked images I have put on there have remained undetected.

dood you forgot the streetsy link!

Toby - no one's saying Wikipedia is perfect. But it's useful for most things in collecting very basic information from most things as long as there are enough people interested in the subject to make sure the information is legit. Planting stuff in less frequently visited pages doesn't prove anything. As your Al Roker example shows, most pranks and misinformation are dealt with in a matter of hours, if not minutes.

Most people are smart enough to see Wikipedia for what it is, a good starting point for research that should be taken with a grain of salt.

the link to the nick blog for project runway is not working

Toby, that's not a joke. Al Roker IS G-d.

Yay! I sent in the link to Nick's blog via Contribute.

But there is an extra tag of
/ something or other at the end of it which is making it not work properly.

It should just be http://nickverrreos.blogspot.com/
