In the Wikipedia article history, I can find the edit you mention at 21:12 and the edit freeze at 21:45, but not the edit you mention at 21:48...

This page should show the relevant part of the history: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Jackson...

I would say Wikipedia confirmed the death at 22:27, just after MSNBC and CNN, which is consistent with Wikipedia policy of relying on mainstream sources.

This is very odd. When I viewed the page (see screenshot taken at 22:56 below) I saw his death added to the article twice, once at 21:46 by editor "fixman" and then again at 21:48 by an anonymous editor.

Update: User Gort pointed out that I was looking at the talk page of the article revision history rather than the revision history itself. Easy mistake to make. Post updated and tail between my legs...

That's the talk page history, not the article history.
