Of course it being Wikipedia then citations are required, but as long as they are present then the article can be freely changed, or even add a section in the main article discussing alternative views of the history of IPA.

They contain good regional beer info but the lack of a real online presence, they have a token website at best. One of the problems that wikipedia would have with correcting the article, is unless you can link to the stories that have correct information it isn't considered necessarily accurate and in this day and age there is no excuse for the Brewing News publications to not be. It's a tangent point to the main point of this post to which I agree, but it may help address Velkyal question as why it can't be fixed.

Nathan, maybe I should have drawn some analogy to talk radio. Todd - Wish there were time to swing through upstate NY and check out the hop crop. We'll be in the Halltertau region in early October, so maybe will have a better idea what's going on there. Kris – You’ll notice I didn’t start in on the whole candi sugar things . . .

I guess the assumption is out there that wikipedia is factual enough for the courts. As with any information, "don't believe it all, and don't disregard it all". How are the hop harvests out there Stan? I just read the other day at probrewer about a legal situation where a lawyer mentioned that other “lawyers use wikipedia in court cases”.

As with any information, “don’t believe it all, and don’t disregard it all”.

'Because we say, it its true!' Thats just bollocks. Stan, Gordon Strong and I shared a great bottle of discounted St Bernardus Christmas 750ml (b/c it was old, after Xmas?) when he came up for a visit and had a good discussion regarding various 'ideas.' Its funny when people have nothing to base their ideas on other than books that were written with circular references that say anything/nothing. I love the fact that Stan always keeps his morals and will say you are full of it when you have nothing to back up your own an argument. Cheers again to Stan for making us all make sure we don't pass on the drivel that people copy b/c they 'heard' it somewhere. Stan, you better be keeping your arm warmed up with your violin lessons (for the kid - douches stop being creepy) so you can keep up with the 'Deutcher' mensch. I wouldn't want you to lose any respect over there. Just remember one phrase, when you are completely drunk and you here However, if you are drunk and writting and the bartender comes over and say, 'Was machst Du da für Scheiße?'. You just say, 'Bier schreiber!' Hopefully that will do! If not, order a few rounds of Obst and things will work themselves out.
