Just a sticky thread where we might post problems or errors in articles that would'a / should'a / could'a been fixed, but haven't.

You'd think after more than 26 months and about 3,800 page views, somebody would have noticed "Woody Wodpecker".

I have to give credit where it's due. There's an article on Wikipedia about an African musical instrument, and in the article it mentions:

QUOTE
A banjo is not a person.


Nothing could be more true, and ever shall it be. Thank you, Wikipedia.

No one bothered to fix whatever that anon was trying to say since March 2008. I'm not a language expert, so I'm not sure how to go about fixing it either.

I'm not sure 216.12.16.132 is a language expert, either.
