Wikipedia edit (briefly) adds Julio Jones’ earring incident to Lake Lanier entry – WXIA-TV

Star football player lost the expensive item while jet skiing at the lake.

ATLANTA -- The work of Internet trolls is never done.

On Tuesday, 11Alive reported how Falcons' wide receiver Julio Jones lost his $100,000+ earring in the waters of Lake Lanier while jet skiing. The superstar of the team said he was riding on the lake when he apparently hit a boat wake and was tossed into the water.

He came back up, but the earring didn't.

News of Jones hiring a dive team to search for the diamond made headlines online, with many cracking jokes about the Falcons' Super Bowl loss ("While they are at it could they search for the 28-3 lead they lost as well?") and comparing it to that time Kim Kardashian lost a diamond earring of her own.

The joke carried over (briefly) to Wikipedia, too, after someone edited the entry for Lake Lanier to read "Julio Jones' earring was found by pirates here, so don't look for it." The new line was short-lived, though, and was later taken down.

As for Jones, he's still without his earring --divers ultimately rose from the water empty-handed. But the Falcons star said he's just glad no one got hurt.

"As long as I'm good, it's materialistic stuff," he said. "You can always get that kind of stuff back."

Customs board bases fine on Wikipedia entry, loses in Supreme Court – ERR News

Russian Mil Mi-28 attack helicopter.

The dispute began in 2015, when six wooden crates arrived in Muuga Harbor from Dubai. In the crates were spare parts for helicopters destined for Russia, according to weekly Eesti Ekspress.

According to the cargo papers, the spare parts were for civilian helicopters, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strategic trade committee found that two engines that were part of the shipment could be used for the Russian Mil Mi-28 attack helicopter as well.

In connection with Russias involvement in Ukraine, the European Union has banned the sale or shipment of military equipment to Russia. Based on this directive, the Tax and Customs Board (MTA) fined shipper NTN EST in the amount of 1,600.

They justified the step stating the helicopter engines had been developed specially for the Mi-28 attack helicopter. The data they referred though was taken from a Wikipedia article.

The shipper and its lawyer, Gerly Kask, successfully contested the fine after the case passed all court tiers and eventually had to be taken up by the Supreme Court.

The court found that data published in Wikipedia wasnt sufficiently credible to justify an order of punishment, and that MTAs decision would have required an expertise, to be based on technical literature or on similar sources that could be properly ascertained.

India prematurely win ICC Women’s World Cup on Wikipedia – The Indian Express

By: Express Web Desk | Published:July 21, 2017 1:19 pm The Wikipedia entry for Womens World Cups was edited even before the final took place. (Source: Wikipedia screenshot)

Wikipedia is a great resource for research and knowledge garnering on a wide variety of topics and ever since its launch in January, 2001 byJimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, it has grown into a massive tool which is used by people from all walks of life. But the fact that Wikipedia pages can be edited makes it quite dangerous to be used without full research. It has had its share of problems in the past after edited entries have resulted in controversies. In 2007, Turkish historian Taner Akam was detained upon arrival at an airport in Canada because of false information on his biography indicating that he was a terrorist.

And that level of inaccuracy spreads across to the sporting world too and the most recent entry seems to be of India womens team winning the 2017 World Cup against England. As per the Womens World Cup article page and the list of previous winners, the 2017 winner has already been declared as India with England finishing runners up. However, the editors chose not to mention the margin of the win.

In truth, though, the match is yet to take place. India and England are infact into the final of the womens event after England beat South Africa in the first semi-final and India beat Australia in the second semi-final. The final will be played at Lords on Sunday with India hoping to win the title for the very first time. They had made the final in 2005 but emerged second best to Australia who have won the title six times.
