Just refresh the page. That sort of thing is usually fixed within a matter of minutes.

No no no, see, that's the beauty of it. This is a real article, that sentence wasn't necessarily added as a prank, and it's been there for a while. Wikipedia, while not being written entirely by professionals, will attempt to essentially portray the idea agreed upon by the editors in the most formal way possible. In this case, I think they really ought to have started that paragraph with factual information, but instead the writers felt a burning need to express how ironic it is that ice-cream salesmen would be shooting at one another.

I'd go in and argue with the writers and try to actually get changes made, but it would likely eat up a TON of my time.

Anyways, has anybody else found interesting stuff on Wikipedia that they wanna share?
