Wired Wiki: Wired News rips off Esquire

Wired News released an upcoming article on a wiki page this morning, asking readers to edit the story (about Wikipedia, natch) before the news outlet publishes it on September 7. In the buzz that will follow, everyone will refer to the LA Times' failed experiment of building a wiki from scratch. But few will recall that Esquire pulled this off a year ago with its own Wikipedia article.

Gee, what if someone registered to edit the wiki and mentioned Esquire's piece?
