Recently, I've wanted the ability to edit the BBC webpages. They had a page giving contradictory results at the US Masters after the playoff. And today they had (may still have when you click on it) this:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8000555.stm "After a week's rest boss Rafael Benitez may stick with the same side knocked out of the Champions League by Chelsea." That should be "After a week's rest boss Rafael Benitez may stick with the same side knocked out of the FA CUP by Chelsea." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FA_Cup_2008%E2%80%9309#Semi-finals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League_2008%E2%80%9309#Semi-finals I believe you can e-mail them to correct stuff, but really, why bother. "Page last updated at 14:13 GMT, Monday, 20 April 2009 15:13 UK" - let's see how many people from the BBC read this mailing list...
