I had not posted anything Benoit-related in a few days because it was really getting to me. However, this Wikipedia investigation is interesting. Newsvine.com has a recap of the "wiki-events" and a photo of the alleged perpetrator.
It was widely reported by Fox News, the Associated Press, ABC News, digg and a host of other news sites (and originally on Wikinews) that an anonymous user on Wikipedia altered the online encyclopedia's article on Chris Benoit noting the death of the pro-wrestler's wife some 13-14 hours before police found the dead bodies of Benoit, his wife, and 7-year-old son. The incident is being treated as a murder-suicide.
What the anonymous user on Wikipedia may have failed to realize, is that little about your activity on Wikipedia (or the rest of the internet) is anonymous...More?

Howdy!
Been following this story on Chris Benoit and I'm really having a hard time believing this was a coincidence. I mean theres noway this anonymous poster can post what happened before the police knows anything, plus the anonymous poster and the WWE both come up being in Stamford, Conn. Just no way could happen!
