Here's Jimbo asking an IP editor to register a Wikipedia user account.

Thanks to that attention, here's the geo-location of that IP editor, assigned to one Mr. Chris Down.

Thanks for being so noticeable, Jimmy.

More entertaining is why Jimbo noticed the IP editor. He really wants to make sure a bad Wikipedia entry does not hinder him being raised to the aristocracy.

Greg, I believe you have stumbled on the solution to Wikipedia's problems.

Replace notable with noticeable.

So many problems with inclusions just disappear.

"He should have an article in Wikipedia! There are lotsa blog posts and stuff!"

Wikipedia would then live down to its full potential. biggrin.gif

If there is a lot of opposition to this idea, simply substitute annoying for notable.

Then I'd qualify for a BLP easily.
