Author Topic: John Byrne vs. Wikipedia Cobalt Kid BOHICA posted                       Some hysterical stuff going on with John Byrne and Wikipedia (sp?). See Rich Johnston's article. The fan written Wikipedia entries on Byrne are downright slap your knee funny From: If you don't want my peaches, honey... | Registered: Sep 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Fat Cramer Rich and flaky posted                        I haven't followed too much of Byrne's antics, although they're impossible to avoid if you read anything on-line about comics. This Wikipedia deletion marathon reads like a cartoon - the ones where Sylvester keeps trying to get Tweety, or the Coyote keeps chasing Road Runner.... History's always biased. At least Wiki admits that the entry could be biased. As one commentator wrote, don't these people have lives? (And here I am reading it all...! ) -------------------- Holy Cats of Egypt!

From: Up a Gumtree | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Stratum Booster Club President posted                       I spent the better part of today reading some of this...it's really pretty sad. Guys like Byrne need to understand that there's no freakin' way you can CONTROL the internet and that by responding the way he does only lends credence to the unflattering opinions.

Read the responses here -------------------- My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Canon's inkjets have always been based on "BubbleJet" Technology. It probably got insulted when he insisted on "BalloonJet". From: Canada | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged |  cleome46 or you can do the confusion 'til your head falls off posted                        The main Wikipedia article looks pretty innocuous to me. Anyone feel like giving me some details of the carnage referenced in the original post? -------------------- Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on flickr. Drop by and tell me that I sent you. From: Vanity, OR | Registered: Dec 2008  |  IP: Logged |  Fat Cramer Rich and flaky posted                        It was something about John Byrne writing his own glorious version of a Wikipedia entry about himself, then other people editing it, and he re-editing it, and so on and so on, and the flaming discussion that ensued. -------------------- Holy Cats of Egypt! From: Café Cramer | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Cobalt Kid BOHICA posted                       Cleome, if you look at the dates at the top of the thread, you'll see this thread is from 2005, recently pumped because of the printer thing. I wish I could remember some of the details, I only know it gave me a good laugh... From: If you don't want my peaches, honey... | Registered: Sep 2003  |  IP: Logged |
