Yeah... I really hate it when people take my word or print seriously and hold me accountable for the things I say or write. Especially when it's something like a reference page. Who takes those things seriously? Am I right?

Am I the only person here who adds completely untrue ridiculous facts to wikipedia pages on a regular basis?
Some of them people fix right away but most of them just stay in there and become actual facts, I guess.
My favorite thing to do is add a stretch in prison for some sort of perverted sexual crime to famous historical figures timelines, usually in their late teens or early twenties.

I don't think you're the only one.

this record is good but there is that one song...you know...that one...from that dvd...the one that goes: dadadadadadadadadadadadad, dadadadadaddadadadad, dadadadadadadaddadad.

i don't like that song.

all the other songs sound like 031, 025, turbo record and all that shit

Fuck, dude, I have only made a couple of edits, but my first one was just to test it out and see how it worked. So I changed a word on an obscure page about different types of gold coins in America during the 19th century.....it had a list of coins and what was on the face of them. Well, I replaced the name of whatever historical figure was on the face of some coin with Marlon Brando....I thought it was funny!

I swear, in almost the time it takes to refresh a page, someone corrected it and wrote me an angry message.

How do people find errors so quickly? Can you mark a page to send you notices if someone else edits them if you are really invested in your work on the page? It was freaky....but, funny.

So I just downloaded a pre-release copy of this with bittorrent.

I want to like, I really do, but... what the fuck is with all the jazz flute solos? Sometimes it sounds neat with the break beats, but still...

The cover of Blondie's Rapture was pretty good.

I've never had anyone send me any kind of messege, I have no idea how anyone would even know.
Sometimes they are fixed right away like you said but other times it never gets changed.
When I change the Smoking Popes page and add a section on how the singer was born a woman and had a sex change operation at 12 years old someone is right on top of it, dosen't stay for more than 5 minutes.
My 'Doctor Phil did 3 years in prison for child molestation in his early 20's' stayed for a good month recently.
