Otro ejemplo de como serviria:

On the day of Barack Obama's inauguration, the site reported the
deaths of West Virginia's Robert Byrd - the longest-serving senator in
American history - and Ted Kennedy, who has been diagnosed with a
brain tumour and collapsed during the inaugural lunch.
Both reports were false, and Wikipedia quickly changed the site back
to reflect the truth, but the situation drove Wales to push strongly
for change.
"This nonsense would have been 100% prevented by flagged revisions,"
he wrote on the site. "This was a breaking news story and we want
people to be able to participate [but] we have a tool available now
that is consistent with higher quality."

Al evitar este tipo de cosas, la WP gana credibilidad. Por ejemplo
Clarin le dio con un caño a la WP porque un idiota vandalizó el art.
de la noche de los lapices. En muchos cosas, como este, el que lo
vandaliza es el mismo periodista. Te das cuenta al mirar el log del
cambio:

3:00 PM - Cambio vandalico. por ip xxxxx
3:09 PM - Reversion del cambio. USUARIO REGISTRADO

O sea, el articulo estuvo malo por menos de 10 minutos, es mucha
casualidad (aunque posible) que el periodista haya entrado en esa
ventana de tiempo. Asi generan una noticia de la nada.
