Subject: The wikipedia entry needs an update

Written By: ChuckyG on 10/09/07 at 3:28 pm

I know the wiki community frowns on the subject editing their own stuff, and I'm pretty lousy with their interface and formatting anyways.

"What's The Question" was in the wrong spot in the hierarchy, and is discontinued now anyways

There's a new section called Music Trivia that should be added in after the misheard lyrics

The totals for the misheard lyrics and song parodies should be updated since the numbers are more impressive looking now

Some kind of mention about the misheard lyrics book would be cool, maybe a link to the amIright page about it too?  Probably should add it to the mondegreen entry as well in the bibliography for that page.

About the wiki entry, I moved the text in your WP Talk page to your user page - I know you're a bit of a noob there, but the talk page is used to discuss issues concerning the user in WP...

I noticed someone edited my page, couldn't figure out why.  I knew it was you though, checked out your page.

I went ahead and did the modifications myself.  I don't think there's anything in the changes that will get me yelled at.  Funny that I hear people complain when someone edit's a page about them, yet when someone a year ago complained their page had slanderous lies about them on it, the response from wikipedia was they should have edited themselves.

Just saw this topic (sorry not here more often). I have an editing account at Wiki, but of course, it's not under Tommy Turtle, it's under a pseudonym.  :) If more changes are needed that you don't want to have as self-edited, pm me or email me -- you have the addy.  (Privately, not here on the boards, since anyone who sees it at Wiki could see it here also.) I'll try to take care of them when able. Yes, they are their own little clique with their own rules. Cheers.

will do... I suppose I could always make another account and use a proxy server to hide my identity too.  Personally I find their policies on self-editing to be a little ridiculous.

They DON'T allow proxies, especially open ones, since this is open to abuse... You can always use a pseudonym, though... But Wikipedia's nice...

I think the whole of Wikipedia needs updating.
