The King of Rome: a heart-warming article about a long-dead racing pigeon.
QUOTE The King of Rome was a successful racing pigeon, winning a 1,001-mile (1,611 km) race from Rome, Italy to England, in 1913. It was the subject of a song and book, both by Dave Sudbury, the former most famously recorded by June Tabor. From Twitter: QUOTE @pigsonthewing Andy Mabbett My Wikipedia article 'The King of Rome' is now available in Finnish and Swedish: goo.gl/5hbSs / @TomSprints @Victuallers 18 Dec via Dabr Retweeted by Victuallers By no means am I suggested that anyone mess with it, but I was struck by the phrase "my Wikipedia article". Perhaps Mabbett is unaware that anyone can edit WP, redirect his article to "Pigeon", and reduce it to a fragment in the much-needed "Pigeons in popular culture" section alongside some Simpsons and Pokemon references. |

I use possessive words like that for my own articles too, everyone does. Everyone is protective of the articles they spent time in making and, while I don't bother using something like Twitter, I also announce to my friends otherwise whenever I finish writing a new article.
You're kinda stretching this one, aren't you? Edit: Wait...why were you watching their Twitter? O_o This post has been edited by Silver seren: |
