Who’d have thunk it?

    So it turns out Contador is Frank Schleck’s sibling. I wonder what Contador’s arch-rival Andy Schleck makes of that…

    Proof, if proof were needed, that Wikipedia isn’t always accurate! Made me chuckle.

    The content on google is not
    The content on google is not directly scraped from wikipedia – in fact, neither the wikipedia entry for Frank Schleck or Contador say they are brothers – however, in one section of the Frank Schleck article, it does say his brother […] and Alberto Contador – except it is actually talking about Andy Schleck when it says brother, not contador as his brother – the sentence has the subject/object slightly muddled, but it’s not completely poor English, and a real person reading it wouldn’t assume they were brothers – however, if you are a computer algorithm working for google (which is the culprit here, *not* wikipedia) then you can’t tell the difference.

    Wikipedia has it’s problems, but this kind of accuracy issue isn’t one of them.
