MarreZ will be on sometime to regale his addition of Jardel to the St.Mirren wiki page which in turn triggered off several newpaper articles and leaving one very confused agent having to ask just where St.Mirren was.

STOP!

TURN.

EXPLAIN.....

just now i think wiki are twats cos on Gordon Lennon's page they have a thing saying this page is up for deletion above it saying he had recently died :angry:


had a wee look, that's two totally different, fully justifiable notices at the top

the first one is a notice for deletion candidate, it's quite old, unfortunatley up until Sunday the article had every chance of being a deleted because a third division footballer is not well known enough to justify his own page

the second one is a notice saying the page is about someone that has recentley died and as such all information can change quickly

Not only that I like to think it's a triumph of human nature. The vast majority (and I do mean vast, way less than .5%) of the content on Wiki is incorrect. It relies on people's innate desire to educate, regardless of content matter.

The trouble with Wikipedia is that if someone says something obviously wrong but with authority, like "The vast majority (and I do mean vast, way less than .5%)", people will start quoting it as fact. <_<

This is the Uncyclopedia article on Amadou Konte, but it used to be on the proper Wikipedia site: clicky.

There was also a part on the Mr Brightside Wikipedia page that it had been inspired by Amadou Konte having an affair with Brendan Flowers's girlfriend :lol:

Jose Quitongo's Wiki page said the following things at one point;

"Quitongo's dad was mauled by a lion in his native Angola"

"Quitongo's dad was mauled by a pack of sheer in his native Angola"

"Quitongo's dad was mauled by Gerry Britton"

I believe it has been fixed now though.



:lol: Brilliant...Gerry Britton was never that good was he???!!!

My favourite Wiki vandalism ever was on Cheryl Cole's page. it said: "She is married to Chelsea and England footballer Ashley Cole. It is a marriage of convenience as he is a homosexual and she is a racist."

It's getting kind of hard to believe things are going to get better. I've been drowning too long to believe that the tide is going to turn. And I've been living too hard to believe things are going to get easier now. I'm still trying to shake off the pain from the lessons I've learned. And if I see Van Helsing, I swear to the lord I will slay him. AHA HA HA. He take you from me but I swear I won't let it be so. AHA HA HA. Blood, will run done his face, when he is decapitated AH! His head on my mantle is how I will let this world know...how much I love you.

Jose Quitongo won Mr Angola 2009 by cheating and diving to win the competition.

Jose Quitongo wishes to enter the 2012 Olympics for Angola in the Diving section.

During his time at Motherwell, he became known for putting his name forward for any job available. Teams include Scotland, Hearts, Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen and also Real Madrid where he discussed with club president Florentino Perez about scrapping a £56 million move for AC Milan star Kaka and instead using the money to sign Hibernian wonderkid Steven Fletcher.
