    Ohh
    Mr.Editor man.



    Well I don't do much on wiki except fix grammer a bit.

    But there are some freaky people on Wiki.

    General Tojo
    Long time abuser.
    Apparently he see his sole purpose is to screw with pages.

    He seems so dependent on wiki, he craves this virtual life so much.
    He has hundreds of alt accounts.

    I mean get a life you freak.
    And some Sun.

    Yep I have been the habitual grammar Nazi on Wiki too. A bit Pot and Kettle too as my own grammar can be terrible at times.

    Technically it wasn't an edit, but when Wikipedia was first in the news and they made a mention of how the deletion of an article was useless as it would be back up within the hour, I decided to experiment by deleting Christianity. They were right.

    Small grammar edits + one link added + half a sentence deleted which made no sense to me.

    I've ceen some funny vandals on wikipedia like for instance someone made it so the thing for micky mouse stated that he appaerently had a sado masochistic relationship with pluto because all the other dogs who were portrayed were like goofy. And that he must have very liberal neighbors who didn't mid seeing a naked person living outside in in their neighbors yard.

    There was one in german Wikipedia who replaced all pictures with a Photo of a penis.

    I only do edit missspellings and "gaga"-sentences.

    Well, I made this pace on the Rutgers placekicker, but other than that I can't think of much. Added some stats to Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez's pages.

    This is... about Wikipedia.

    To be ontopic, I think I've edited pages that had a spacing or grammar mistake. Aside from that, I don't remember anything.

    Countless minor edits in both, the German and English versions - it's most of the time when I read something and know some sourced additional info I deem interesting enough...
