A Wikipedia vandal inadvertently set off a nationwide conspiracy craze when he edited the entry for Chris Benoit, a pro wrestler who murdered his family. The anonymous vandal coincidentally edited Benoit’s entry to say that Benoit had murdered his family several hours before the news became public, sparking speculation that the murder had been some kind of setup. Now the vandal has confessed, saying that he’d put the murder accusation in as an unfortunately timed joke

wikipedia is definitely mainstream now
