For over a decade, wikipedia credited some guy with inventing a special type of blimp, based on some ill-researched news article. About a year ago the article was checked and removed, and then that guy actually invented a blimp, but now wikipedia is refusing to reinstate the article.
- teddyh 4y agoDo you have a link to the Wikipedia discussion of the refusal, or even the name of the inventor?
- rsynnott 4y agoI mean, I think imaginary special blimps fit into the same space as non-existent fish; it's exactly the sort of thing that Wikipedia's defense mechanisms don't work for, largely due to lack of interest. (I do find the concept of a venomous sole fascinating, though. How would that work? Would it _bite_ people? They're seabed-dwelling flatfish!)
