Hello Zodiac-fans
Can anybody track entries within Wikipedia? I was surprised to see that recently someone added an "incident" note in the Wikipedia Zodiac XL entry, stating that the airplane is grounded in Europe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZODIAC_XL
Although the note is only factual, it still seems to me that somebody wants to deliberately harm the good reputation of Zenair+AMD. I would be interesting to know who wrote this entry!

Anyone can see history information for an article. Click on the History tab
at the top of the page.
Looks like that note was added by someone who's not registered, or wasn't
logged in, to Wikipedia, since all that's shown is that it was from the IP
address 24.132.159.25.

I disagree. The note states a demonstrable, verifiable fact, and so belongs
in the article. Wikipedia is not just a compendium of good things about the
subject of an article. It's entirely suitable for inclusion. Once the Dutch
get back from vacation and do their jobs, and come up with a resolution,
that, too, belongs in the article.

You are right, the information might really belong into Wikipedia.
I was just surprised that it took only such a short time (after the dutch AD was released) that somebody put it there.
Cheers Martin
