Impatient Wikipedia Editor Turns Off Hugo Chavez’s Life Support

VENEZUELA, (The Global Edition)– Hugo Chavez died today at 19:45 EST after one 
of Wikipedia editors, who happened to be Chavez’s doctor, turned off the 
machine that was keeping the Venezuelan President alive so that he could 
finally confirm that the date of his death is verified at Chavez’s wiki entry, 
Venezuelan media reports.

Chavez was previously reported dead several times during the day, only to be 
proclaimed alive again minutes later, making the Wikipedia page on him 
“completely unreliable”, in wiki editor’s words.

“It might not mean much to a non-wiki user, but it sure means a lot to us 
Wikipedians to have all the information on the website correct. Editing the 
page all the time makes all our efforts look silly and completely downgrades 
the idea of free knowledge,” said Ramirez Nunuel, doctor responsible for 
Chavez’s passing and ultimately for the accurate date and time of his death at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Chavez.

As of this writing, Venezuelans, who have been checking the Chavez’s wikipedia 
page for the accurate information on his death, began to mourn for the now 
reliably confirmed late President.

“He was a great man, [citation needed],” said one of the citizens interviewed 
on the street just moments after the wiki-editor updated the world’s biggest 
collection of knowledge with Chavez’s time of death and locked the page due to 
possible vandalism
