According to News24, the act of being a member of the open source forum by which wikipedia pages are edited and using that privilege to edit a page, albeit with false if funny data, is now known as "hacking".
Yes, Steve Hofmeyr's wikipedia page was vandalised by somebody who was obviously bored and looking to have a laugh and that in this sleepy bottom tip of the African continent is what constitutes news. But it's great to see News24 sticking to their MO: trumpeting twitter tittle-tattle and supplementing with wire stories.
