If the topic of the thread is applicable to all the groups to which the
thread is posted, then cross-posting is perfectly acceptable and
appropriate.

Wikipedia entries are freely alterable; it's well within my abilities to
go into that entry and change it so that it says whatever I want it to
say. Is that what you did? The statement that crossposting is banned
from Usenet newsgroups is blatantly false, and casts suspicion on the
entire entry.
