    Great, another hitpiece by someone whose claim to fame is trashing on public work.

    The tl;dr is someone made a falsey article. This is like saying someone uploaded malware to Github, therefore Open Source Software is insecure.

    For further reading, because I cba to defend Wikipedia, see Wikipedia’s Notability or Reliable sources guidelines.

      It would be like that if someone had put made-up information on a talk page or their user page. Information in the main namespace is supposed to be patrolled and checked for references, which is the point of the article. Your analogy is dishonest.

        Or in terms of the GitHub analogy, this would be like malware making its way into somewhere like NPM, Pip, or a distro’s package manager.
