What are we seeing here? Is this suppose to be a commentary on the misinformation that Wikipedia can generate? Or how fast a Wikipedia article can grow as more info comes to light?

Is this a pro or con of Wikipedia because I can't tell anymore.

Personally I'm a fan of Wikipedia, It may not always be accurate but it's the best place to start your research. I think this timelapse was pretty cool.

Pro or anti wikipedia, thats up to you.

if you don't believe everything you read in a wikipedia article, simply go to the source thats posted. thats what i do, i rarely read the wiki article.

on the other hand, sometimes people neglect sources...

I'm a bit ambivalent on the uses of Wikipedia myself, but following that link from the VTech shootings I learnt about the Bath School disaster of 1927, which was something I'd never known about before then.

So...perhaps there is something to it!

Is "social media" newspeak for "gossip"?

I think I see what your getting at, but I don't think so? There is more to it.
