Blog: Wikipedia Page Rescue

< previous

Last week I got a message from Mr R Kirkham to tell me that my Wikipedia page was under threat of DELETION!!

This threw me into panic because I REALLY REALLY REALLY like the fact that I have a Wikipedia page, as it is both COOL and also VERY COOL because I didn't even set it up myself! If I WAS updating it myself I would have done things like put a DISCOGRAPHY in there somewhere, but doing so would feel like cheating and also destroy the entire aforesaid VERY COOLNESS of the thing, so have diligently avoided doing so.

However, the problem with me not updating it was that nobody ELSE has updated it for ages either, and so it was looking a bit out of date and flimsy. THUS I could understand why it had been picked out for possible deletion by Mighty Wikipedia Editors, although I did BRIDLE somewhat at the suggestion that "His most popular songs & videos never cracked 100,000 views on YouTube". You young whippersnapper, some of us had viral hits BEFORE YOUTUBE EXISTED!

After some soul searching and continued RESISTANCE to temptation I put out an emergency call on THE SOCIALS asking for anybody who knew how to do Wikipedia, and could be arsed, to have a look at it and do some updates please. To my delight people DID and I am DELIGHTED to say that not only has the whole Deletion Discussion been RESOLVED but it has ended up with a rather more EXCITING page all together. All right, I could have lived without the bit that says repeated listens "dull the humour", but I guess that just shows that it's PROPER! PHEW - thanks everyone!!
