Wikipedia -- your HORSE obit didn't mention COVID-19

We all know Wikipedia is ridiculous and unreliable. It's also the website that faithfully adds OBITUARIES for every racehorse that keels over.

This comes under the heading of DEATHS of "notable individuals."

Wikipedia promises to deliver the NAME, AGE, and COUNTRY OF CITIZENSHIP of these "notable individuals," and "cause of death..."

Wikipedia, your line for the "notable individual" known as MIGHT AND POWER, a racehorse in New Zealand, did NOT list "cause of death."

PS, are you positive the racehorse actually WAS a "citizen" of New Zealand?

These days, the important Wikipedia news about the deaths of "notable individuals" that most people never heard of, usually includes the words COVID-19.

Are we sure that poor MIGHT AND POWER wasn't munching on a raw bat?

Are we sure that poor MIGHT AND POWER didn't get sneezed on on by some careless, COVID-19-infected jockey?

Why isn't there a cause of death for this "notable individual?" Don't "notable individuals" generally call for a doctor when ill, or have a doctor or coroner confirm there wasn't foul play?

MIGHT AND POWER last won a significant (if you're in New Zealand, maybe) race 22 years ago. Is it possible somebody who bet on a different horse waited to get even? Why is it that Wikipedia isn't being as thorough about this "notable individual" as it is for the famous Mr. Chera and the famous Mr. Conway, both affirmed to have died of COVID-19? Then there's the famous Mexican video game journalist (you've heard of him?) who died of lung cancer.

NO "cause of death" for "notable individual" MIGHT AND POWER, a proud CITIZEN of New Zealand? No wonder Wikipedia's got such a horseshit reputation for facts, even when flogging a dead horse. No better, dip wiks, or the next time you whine for $3 donations, I'll continue to IGNORE YOU.
