Journal britneys 9th husband's Journal: Student threatens school on Wikipedia; facing felony charges
Earlier this week, a high school student in suburban Chicago was arrested for posting a threat to the article about his school on Wikipedia. The threat was posted at 5:37 Central time last Sunday afternoon, and the poster was given an automated warning by a bot that looks for and automatically reverts vandalism on Wikipedia. At some point, Wikipedia administrators were made aware of the threat, and they notified the police and FBI. The start of classes was delayed 15 minutes, the school notified the parents of all 2600 students at the school, and the poster (who turned out to be a 14 year old freshman at the school) was arrested on charges of felony disorderly conduct. Wikipedia has since removed the edit in question from the article's edit history.
