Shannon Rutherford

Shannon Rutherford was a middle section survivor of Oceanic Flight 815 and was Boone's stepsister, who she frequently argued with. She was very selfish at times, though she eventually formed a romantic relationship with Sayid. Shannon survived on the Island for 48 days before she was unintentionally shot and killed by Ana-Lucia Cortez.

Default Wikipedia vs the world
An article from cNet on different tools to search the web.

Quote:
Nearly the entire sum of the world's written knowledge is now stored online. But what's the best way to get at all the facts, the text, the maps, and other Web resources? You need something more than a search engine--you need reference tools. We gathered up 10 services (9 Web sites, 1 DVD-ROM) and compared them on comprehensiveness, usability, and accuracy. These tools can keep you on track, whether you're working on a middle-school science fair project, wrapping up a graduate degree, or pursuing a hobby.

Meh, Wikipedia is wrong alot. But it is an everchanging evergrowing tree of information. That even from a year ago, has probaly doubled. Its quite a remarkable system.

Yes, these editable databases are awesome, but as said above they are prone to inconsistencies and errors.

Has anyone ever checked out the Lostpedia?
