Note that of course, like everything on Wikipedia this is probably neither complete nor necessarily accurate.
It's also a pretty short list.
One particularly embarrassing example on the list involved a real person being falsely accused of taking part in a major points shaving scandal in college despite not even being on the team at the time, with multiple major publications repeating the claim. It was only discovered after 6 years or so because a film reviewer got an email claiming he was omitted from a film about the scandal because he wasn't even on the team, and believed that person enough to start digging despite all the coverage insisting otherwise: http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/guilt-wikipedia-joe-streater...
> I've looked at large articles I contributed to a few years ago and they are now disasters.
Examples would be welcome.
In any case, they didn't make the claim about disaster articles.
