[edit] Hacker mocks top cop

WIKIPEDIA has been forced to lock its profile page on Australian Federal Police chief Mick Keelty after a cyber vandal portrayed him as a deranged conspiracy theorist.

The age,Same article

“An AFP spokeswoman said the breach did not constitute a criminal offence and would be investigated.” —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.9.139.165 (talk) 06:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

This version of the article in The Age said it would not be investigated. All I said is that the edit was made by an unregistered user, not that anyone had "infiltrated the site" whatever that means! Angela. 14:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Thats the media for you. Some do try to beat it up a little to sell papers and I trust on what you said if anyone doubts you as I've found the something in the past myself. If I ever see or bump into Mick Keelty I'll try and get a photograph to add to the article. Bidgee (talk) 16:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia will survive without his photo, but if you are sufficiently motivated, and since you are in Aus, I assume, and I am not, maybe his office will release one with the proper licensing to be used on WP. If you care enough.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gah.

Apparently the Sydney Morning Herald regards vandalism on wikipedia as something out of the ordinary, what abhorrent journalistic filler. SMH should be ashamed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.117.128 (talk) 01:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

The vandalism of Mick Keelty's wikipedia entry is easily one of the hottest and most talked about topics in Australia, if not, the western world at the moment. 121.44.82.92 (talk) 02:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
