A cheeky editor made the first entry on Wikipedia for the Cabinet Secretary for Interior Security on May 17.
The volunteer wrote an opinionated profile of Joseph ole Lenku, describing him as a ‘cook’ and ‘comedian’ early morning on Saturday May 17.
The post was available for about seven hours, the period hundreds of internet users shared a screenshot of the Wikipedia post on social media, before it was updated.
Wikipedia crowd sources its information, and millions of volunteers write and edit its content.
It sometimes takes months or years before an article is fully authenticated
The Ole Lenku article was described as a ‘stub’, meaning the post was yet to be verified by multiple and credible sources.
The entry described Ole Lenku’s occupation as a ‘chief-cook’, obviously deriving from his background in the hospitality industry
