Wikipedia: A Mild Disappointment

That what follows could even be called "a mild disappointment" reflects an astonishing idea, that one could hold Wikipedia (of all sources) to high expectations for breaking news coverage. On the big stories, though, Wikipedia tends to be both thorough and even-handed.

That said, I learned nothing new from the San Francisco zoo tiger attacks page, and in fact they listed one allegation (slingshots) that has since been denied without being corroborated.

Since I tend to lots of sympathy for Tatiana and very little for the dead guy or the brothers, I was hoping to have my bias tempered; instead, if anything, one can easily infer that the most recent editors of this page have a worldview similar to mine.
