Coelho 0 Posted June 18, 2008 [quote user="Evil Monkey"][quote user="One Flew Over..."][quote user="Evil Monkey"]Yeah, sorrybut Wiki hacking is a persistent and often hilarious problem for itsowners... There was a thing a few years ago where the words "SteveLikes Men" kept appearing on random Wiki pages... it got to be quitefunny, but then I guess they clamped down on it... Inspired by this, mymate went onto Becky Mantin''s page and wrote at the end of the article"Becky is not nearly as attractive as she thinks she is." Andsome time later I wrote on Ray Parlour''s page that since his publicdivorce he had started a relationship with the aforementioned mate...Idoubt anyone gets too upset, they get removed pretty quick, the bestidea is to change it then take a screen shot for posterity...[:D] [/quote]Except there''s no such thing as "owners" as all the information isadded and updated by volunteers (literally anyone) worldwide, andmade freely available. Which means everytime someone adds nonsense to apage, someonelse has to spend time removing it. On pages where lots ofpeople contribute things get removed quickly, but on others it can beleft there for months. Then there are people who change things like thedates of births of players, which is a lot harder to spot. It''s the equivalent of scrawling over the pages of books in a public library..[/quote]I meant the people who "own" Wikipedia, as in the people who created itoriginally... I know how Wikipedia works, I''m a Weezer-loving geek![8-|] [/quote]Did you (or anyone else) see the modified Gary Doherty page that was changed a few months back? That was pretty amusing...
