Whatever was there in reference to Amiga is now gone, and the Zune article is locked due to "vandalism" by anonymous and/or newly registered accounts.

Personally, I stopped using Wikipaedia a long time ago.  I hate to say this, but the social experiment it was has failed.  People have too many personal, political, or religious agendas for such a project to succeed.  There will never be a fair approach to the recording of information so long as humans are recording it.  History proves this over and over, and this manifests in nearly every historical document ever produced, from the Bible, history of Egypt, revisionist histories of the home computer revolution, to events as recent as the first and second Guld Wars.

So long as people believe that if it's on the 'web it must be true, something like Wikipaedia will be nearly impossible  to fight to maintain fair and balanced recording.
