Hello,<br>
<br>
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz brings this story from the Hebrew
Wikipedia:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/wikipedia-finds-mysterious-typo-that-created-a-clandestine-jewish-immigrant-ship.premium-1.512933">http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/wikipedia-finds-mysterious-typo-that-created-a-clandestine-jewish-immigrant-ship.premium-1.512933</a>
The article was originally published in Hebrew:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.haaretz.co.il/news/education/1.1982367">http://www.haaretz.co.il/news/education/1.1982367</a><br>
<br>
The English translation (made by the newspaper for its English
edition) covers most, but not all, of the Hebrew original content.
In the original, David Shay, known informally as the "founding
father" of the Hebrew Wikipedia, is quoted saying: "<b><i>Unlike
many others, who attribute absolute credibility to different
sources, we know that truth is elusive. Whenever we capture it
successfully, despite its attempts to evade us, it is a happy
occurrence</i></b>". In my opinion, his words do not conform
with the rule on the English Wikipedia which determines, "the
threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth" (but as for me,
I strongly prefer David Shay's approach).<br>
<br>
I didn't read the discussion on the Hebrew Wikipedia, and I know
about it only from this article in Haaretz. If you have certain
questions, I can check on the Hebrew Wikipedia.<br>

Best,<br>
