Someone posted about Michael Jackson’s death with 100% exact details 5 hours before his actual death on Wikipedia. No one paid attention because everyone thought it was a prank. No Single detail was ever found about that person. what actually happened, This is false, if that wasn’t obvious. It comes from JackNaijaentBlogSpot, which is not known for being the best source for investigative journalism. His death did start a conversation on wikipedia editing in the impact of sudden events.
Some Wikipedians repeatedly deleted references to Jackson’s alleged demise, saying in separate comments that “This is not yet verified,” “He’s not dead,” “Premature edits,” and “ONCE AGAIN, HE IS NOT DEAD, JUST STOP.” But they were too slow for the legions of Wikipedia users who descended on the site and repeatedly modified the entry about the pop star. The typical edit was to insert Thursday as the date of Jackson’s demise. Others were more subtle; one used the word “was” instead of “is,” while another edit called “Invincible” his “last studio album.” By around 3:15 p.m. PDT, Wikipedia appeared to be temporarily overloaded. The site reported the error: “Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties… Cannot contact the database server: Unknown error (10.0.6.24))”
