More Wikipedia/privacy problems: Mayor of Florence Sues Wikipedia
All, Well Wikipedia back again in the news for some of it indiscretion or privacy/personal security violating practices... Gotta watch out with these Italian women they are well known for their bad tempers... Shame, Shame Wikipedia! >:( I had thought that Wikipedia was going to mend it's errant ways when it announced a few months back that is was in the process of doing so. Seems that isn't the case. I *thought* that Wikipedia was *Supposed* to be an online encyclopedia not a gossip, slander, and defamation dis-service! Guess I though wrong... At least it appears that I did... Privately held companies information is suppose to be PRIVATE! Others should respect that. Wikipedia evidently doesn't... Wikipedia must have staff members hanging out at Florence womens hair solons were all the GOOD gossip originates, eh? I have always made a point to take one of my girls to the local upscale hair solons every once and a while and pretend I am reading a womans magazine while all the time intentently listening to all the gossip. Sure the hair doo is high cost, but the info I get there is priceless! Of course one has to sift the seed from the chaff, as it were... "Florence Mayor Leonardo Domenici and one of the city assessors http://www.corriere.it/cronache/08_febbraio_29/domenici_sindaco_firenze_quer... are suing (http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.corriere.it%2Fcronache%2F... Google translation) Wikipedia on the basis of a (possible) defamation regarding the handling of public parkings assignation to a private company, "Florence Parking". The apparent problem is that both of their wives are members of the board of directors of "Florence Parking", and Wikipedia is reporting it."
