Well duh. It got fixed. No doubt pretty quickly. That's the nature of wikipedia.

Intelligent people can lack ethics... Knowledge and ethics are two different things.

Would the term "intelligent jackasses" work for you? =P

Seeding misinformation on Wikipedia is not a particularly intelligent thing to do. It is a particularly jackass-ish thing to do. So I don't really care if they're intelligent, they're still jackasses.

There was this interview show that interviewed one fo the people behind wiki,
They were talking about why the interviwer was banned,
Looks like he added a fact about Africa battling the overpopulation of Elephants, and he got banned for it found in a African Newspaper there was a sentence saying that Africa IS battling the over population og Elephants....

HE said he got banned for putting up fake facts.
