Last night's Colbert Report, showed host Stephen Colbert exploit Wikipedia in its nightly "The Word" section. Last night's word: "Wikiality", Colbert explained that any user could log on to the site and revise or comment on articles to debate the factuality of each entry. Then if enough users agree that the article is true then the article will be changed accordingly. Colbert has challenged his viewers to log on to Wikipedia and agree with his claim that there are more elephants in Africa now than ever before, and that the elephant population is growing at an alarming rate. If enough people agree than this becomes fact. For example Colbert has added that the elephant has tripled in the last three months. The article can be found here at Wikipedia
