How long before Shankers starts editing the page himself, and turns it into even more of a vanity than it is already?
I think the "Huckandraz" person, who is probably not the Little Rock, AR person to whom huckandraz.com is registered, actually knows him.
http://myspace.com/huckandraz is the Myspace page of a 32-year-old woman who, like David Shankbone, is from Brooklyn.

Surprise, David gets away with too much crap on Wikipedia, due to the connections he's made there.
Talk about gilding the lily! This overloads a wiki-abuse stereotype so badly that if I made it all up, you'd accuse me of doing too little work and not using my imagination!
But may I point out to the newbies here, that we've seen this all before. It's not that there's anything particularly evil about any of this stereotype, per se. In many ways, I'm a stereotype of another cut, as are we all. I'm just pissed that one particular mind-set of people gets away with anything they like on Wikipedia, and everybody else stands in line to be kicked.
The bicoastal liberal urbanite metrosexuals have long taken over at Wikipedia. Encouraged by Jimbo, who evidently grew up wanting badly to belong to this cultural class, which he was NOT born into. Which aspiration, we can recognize by his present location and past wine-bills, if nothing else. (IMG:
