United States :
Over at the Seventh US Court of Appeals in Chicago, a three-judge panel recently settled a long-standing legal battle by shamelessly citing an entry on Wikipedia. And as you might expect, the entry was edited after the case went to trial.

”Jimbo Wales and his worldwide online cult...(links cites a previous, also opinion-heavy article by the same author)....are now deciding federal court cases.” -Not quite true, they only contributed to the evidence.
”settled a long-standing legal battle by shamelessly citing an entry on Wikipedia” -Since when is it the reporter’s job to pass judgement on the court’s procedures?
”And as you might expect, the entry was edited after the case went to trial.” -And when did it become her(?) job to cast aspersions on the events which transpired?
”But in the end, the trio of judges ignored those trusted dictionaries in favor of the free encyclopedia anyone can edit without telling the world who they really are.” -She may as well be reporting from a soapbox here.
”According to Eugene Volokh, a blog-happy...UCLA law professor...” -Seems an unprofessinonal characterization.
”it’s unlikely that ”wear and tear” entry was rigged. But this is Wikiland. Stranger things have happened ” -So she admits that her aspersions are likely false, but continues to promote them? What kind of reporting is this?
