1:50 p.m.

By 12:26 p.m., Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, had an entry for the 
shootings entitled "Virginia Tech massacre" that included a photo from the 
event.

The entry was soon changed to "2007 Virginia Tech shooting." Within an hour 
it included information gleaned from a variety of news sources including 
CNN, National Public Radio and WDBJ. In the style of Wikipedia, contributors 
continued to update the information -- correcting errors in early news 
reports, adjusting language and generally keeping the encyclopedia entry 
accurate.
