"Park bench goes online" BBC citation is dated August 6, 2011 but was accessed March 1, 2011 — the publication date is almost certainly 2001, not 2011

In the "Public relations timeline" section, the citation supporting the claim that the earlier MSN initiatives (MSN Street, Park Bench, Deckchair) "were well received" reads:

{{cite news|title=Park bench goes online|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1475654.stm|date=August 6, 2011|work=BBC|access-date=March 1, 2011}}

The publication date (date=August 6, 2011) is later than the access date (access-date=March 1, 2011), which is impossible. The BBC URL slug 1475654.stm and the context — MSN Park Bench, which was announced in 2001, years before the iLoo — both indicate the article was published August 6, 2001. This is almost certainly a 2001 → 2011 typo. Suggested fix: change date=August 6, 2011 to date=August 6, 2001. KilyigBot (talk) 02:22, 21 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
