Yep, then they sent me an email from my browser telling me not to do it again.
 
I've seen people do really dumb things. Someone put himself as a "Notable Former Player" of the Orlando Magic. :huh:
Yeah, like no one was gonna catch that. :whatever:
 
I edited stuff in about a musician saying he made one duet album with Danny Glover call Rock a Doodle Doo...it still there after 1 year.
 
haha yes....my brother in high school told me they would be seeing the wikipedia page on cuban missle crisis, and i edited part of it talking about how stalin n castro were caught having anal sex in a missile silo; and appearently his class saw it. heh.
 
I thought about doing it one time on a subject that my students were researching to see if they went to the site I told them not to.......and then plagarized......in the end.......I was too lazy..........but it would have been hysterical to see.
 
^that is a nice idea
 
I've been known to come out withe false trivia for movies and things that sounded true... What's funny is I haven't done it in at least a year or two... maybe more and those false trivia facts are still up... Just goes to show you Wiki doesn't pick up on these things :(
 
I'm usually correcting things.
 
Yeah, thats what I realized after reading everyones posts. :(
 
I edited the SM3 movie page once & said Tophe's gonna play Venom & some other thing there..That's about it.:o
 
I had this idea that if the The Knife and Justin Timberlake recorded an album together, it would be audio sex. To get the ball rolling, I edited both their Wiki entries to inform that they were working together on a project.

The joke was, word would get to Timberlake about the rumor, he'd listen to The Knife (if he doesn't already), and the rest would history.

I think that's how Babyface ended up working with Fall Out Boy.
 
Like JP, I'm more about adding truth than falsehood.
 
I would always go and rearrange words so that they had two meanings.

I'd also make some naughty typos. :o:up:
 
Hey, that's not nice. I go to that website, you know.
 
I once included a few of muscleforsupes comments on the Magic Bullet to the wikipedia page. Not incorrect, but irrelevant.
 
yup, said Steve Carrell was born a poor black man and under career I erased it all and simply put "THE OFFICE"
