Certain does seem to have been a bit of copying and pasting going on there somewhere.

Absolute zero (-273.15C) forms a part of the theory of thermodynamics and is the lower fixed point of the Kelvin temperature scale. As far as I know, and I stand to be corrected as always, absolute zero is a theoretical low temperature that has been closely approached but never actually reached.

They seem to be open about corrections or updates to the wiki, and that sounds like one of them.
