Several sources carried incorrect or misleading information on Wikipedia following the death of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. The Inquirer [1], The Sydney Morning Herald [2], and The Age [3] all reported that vandals had inserted information referring to Wiesenthal as a homosexual. While all of the articles above did say that the changes were quickly reverted, they say that the articles could be viewed in page history, while failing to mention that doing so would require a conscious effort by a user to view previous versions. The versions have since been deleted to try and avoid controversy.

Wikipedia was cited in the last week in the following publications:

• Associated Press, Cindy Sheehan [4]
• MSNBC, Galveston Hurricane of 1900 [5]
• The Salt Lake Tribune, Jim Henson [6]
• Morning Call, Roundabouts [7]
• Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Sudoku [8]
• Sacramento State Hornet, Unitrans [9]
• Quad-City Times, New Journalism and Gonzo Journalism [10][11]
