The world's greatest encyclopedia article remains the entry for Robert Ezra Park in "The Onion Book of Known Knowledge":

“Park, Robert Ezra (b. Feb. 14, 1864 d. Feb. 7 1944), American sociologist famous for weaseling his way into encyclopedias. Goddamn it, Park!”

The Onion nails it.

' We just made Quentin up, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean stories like his aren’t potentially happening everywhere, constantly. Good journalism is about finding those stories, even when they don’t exist. It’s about asking the tough questions and ignoring the answers you don’t like, then offering misleading evidence in service of preordained editorial conclusions. '
