Articles that you don't expect NOT to be in Wikipedia Options

...which causes the production of serum...

Mmm... boob serum. Yummy.

Why does the placeholder for Mimi Macpherson redirect to the Wikipedia article about Elle Macpherson? That must be awfully insulting for Mimi, that she is only Wikipedia-notable for being the sibling of her more-famous sister.

I bet she wants it that way. Before Jimbo started the AFD on her bio and it got deleted, idiots constantly fought to keep in references to a sex tape that circulated years ago.

More that a year later, the idiots were still at it. DC makes a good point though. Why can't Murphy be extended the same courtesy as Mimi?

No article about WinBook. Around 1993, I owned a WinBook laptop computer, and as I recall it was a highly-rated and popular brand, right behind IBM, Panasonic, and NEC.

I just noticed that WP has no article on Dr Gerald W Johnson, inventor of Polypropylene breast implants. Instead of slapping their breasts to make them grow, women can have a surgeon implant polypropylene string in their bodies. As the article says, "The polypropylene, which is yarn-like, causes irritation to the implant pocket which causes the production of serum which fills the implant pocket on a continual basis. This causes continuous expansion of the breast after surgery". So much easier than slapping, but despite the obvious superiority of this method, it has been banned.

This link should be helpful for anyone working on this article. Also this one, about his attempt to sell video of his breast augmentation surgery on Anna Nicole Smith.

Now that should be a Featured Article!

What with Google taking on a nautical theme today, it is notable that the millions of international tax dollars going to do little to limit the exploitation of a rapidly endangered species and its dolphin by-kill, Western Central Pacific Ocean Fisheries Commission, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission are all red linked.

I suppose until someone takes to slapping breasts with tuna they will be of little interest to the whackopedians.

And, remember kids, 90% of tuna stocks have disappeared in the last few decades and, as top of the marine food chain, its meat is laced with mercury and other toxins. No, it is not a chicken and you do need to eat it.

Writing as someone that has stood and wondered at football pitch sized slabs of these beautiful creatures and marvelled at their single minded bio-engineering, I can confirm they look better out of a can and swimming than in a can with a load of dead dolphin in their trail.

No article about Cenegenics?! I would have thought the typical Wikipedia crowd would have had a field day bashing that product/system.

If you've read an in-flight magazine in the past year, or watch any amount of CNBC, you surely have seen the ads:

Funny how the word "image" is in the web page, and the word "albums" is in the image.

"NO INSURANCE AND NO MEDICARE ACCEPTED": I believe that is griftersprecht for "insurance companies and Medicare know that this is a scam, so don't even try".

Goga Ashkenazi - strange that this impossibly beautiful http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&gbv=2...f&aqi=&aql=&oq= and rich and famous woman (via her relationship with the awful Prince Andrew - see this simpering interview in the Standard http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/art...-trade-envoy.do ) has no article in Wikipedia. Just as well.

Just to clarify—you're complaining that Wikipedia doesn't have enough biographies of marginally notable z-list celebrities?

She is not a z-list celebrity. She is beautiful. And she went to Oxford. And she is a billionaire.

[edit] and also 'a very flirty girl' http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/p...nt-2239797.html . This is from The Independent mind you. The article could practically write itself (goes off to look in the Commons).

[edit] No nothing on the Commons, apart from pictures of penises http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...Reino_Unido.jpg .

You saw it here first. In the Sunday Times today, a 3-page article the divine Goga, and the web of corruption surrounding the royal family. Some beautiful writing: "[she] is now a one-name wonder in the slippery, over-resourced milieu that has taken over what used to be London society".

She has a pet chihuahua called 'Mati Hari'.

Where is our friend Sliver Serene?

Proof that Wikipedia does not give a damn about anything that isn't either American or pop-culture-related.

The first one, though the second one feels like another glaring omission.

Like the average Wikipedian can afford to fly or watches anything so boring as CNBC. Do they run the ads during Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network? If not, then they don't exist for Wikipedia.

How do they get to those Wikimedia thingies in Poland and Haifa then?

Strange, with all the dorky Yes-heads editing Wikipedia that there's no article about Esquire (band), fronted by Yes bassist Chris Squire's (ex-) wife, Nikki Squire.



Have any of the music gurus on WR ever heard of Esquire?
