Wikipedia is always improving, and quickly Options

Now, if one of those accounts were to fix errors in articles rather than parade those errors here and get others to fix them...

So, you're saying a banjo is a person?



Why don't you send me a short list of "those accounts", and I'll let you know which ones are mine. Just for the record, I don't do "advertising" -- never have. I do "Wikipedia articles".

I rather think the quote is awkward but not specifically "wrong" -- the point appears to be that the noun as spelled would be a type of noun in a specific language used to refer to persons and not to objects. How would you convey such a fact about a language?

That spirit being:
"That's a nice car you have; it'd be a pity if anything happened to it. Got a bit o' cash on you?"

That's exactly the attitude that I'm glad Thekohser doesn't have.

Isn't that precisely what I'm not saying?

So you can find out if there are any we haven't spotted yet? Good try.

I had no idea that Belgian businessman Georges Jacobs (T-H-L-K-D) was a commander of the Waffen SS's 28th SS Volunteer Grenadier Division Wallonien (T-H-L-K-D).

Oh, the things you learn from Wikipedia!

Edit: Wow, that's been there for 6 six years?

Wow, when you inspire it, you get attribution, The Joy. They must love you more than me.

Well, it's nice to be noticed.

I'm sure having the same name as a Belgian SS officer is bad enough, but I wonder if the businessman Mr. Jacobs was ever stopped at the airport and nearly arrested because Wikipedia said he was a WWII war criminal?

Maybe you could coach a clinic on "kindly attribution". I'd pay for Silver Seren's registration fee.

Carrots. Crunchy, juicy, and so tasty.

This 'article' → Saket (T-H-L-K-D) has been a small, fetid blob for six years.

I'll give you smarmy little men another one to mull over.

Arcenio_James_Advincula (T-H-L-K-D).

Figure it out.

I just had to add that I've known some banjo players who seemed very attached to their instruments. They might even have referred to their instruments using a feminine pronoun. Just sayin'.

Somebody made somebody I work for about 12 years older than they are. That was two weeks and at least a thousand page views ago. Way to go, Wikipedia -- you're really keeping tabs on those drive-by BLP violations.
