Beloved Soccer Fans Evicted From Wikipedia
Philadelphia — well, Chester — might be getting a state-funded soccer team in MLS, but not all is rosy for the team’s fan club, the Sons of Ben. Yes, someone has nominated their Wikipedia article for deletion, and it appears to be destined to be removed from Wikipedia. While the Sons of Ben have gotten a couple mentions in the news, it appears that these Wikipedia editors have been on the receiving end of the group’s emails, which usually are sent five times in a row or so. Or perhaps it’s just this: “Not only not notable, but also totally lame. Linking to user pages from the article just shows what a joke it is.” Oh, you showed them! |

Not only that, but every single error on Wikipedia identified by Nature in the above review was rectified within around 35 days. The same cannot be said of Brittanica.
