Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 30, 2006 It's all the more impressive as DL members have abused Wikipedia, mainly by killing off Clive Dunn, etc. It was the Sun what done it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I see dead people 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Just goes to show the power of the Sun. Make up a story about Deathlist and an ageing rocker and suddenly it is in the mainstream. Wow i am cynical, but its great recognition for the Deathlist, congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 30, 2006 How long until we get our personal biographies as deathlist members? I had my biography in Wiki once, but it got removed after a week. I was told there was no one famous enough by my name in my town. Outrageous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted January 30, 2006 The question lies, I'm I vain enough to create my own Wikipedia biography as Windsor the Troll with claim to deathlist fame..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 30, 2006 And we should hold a celebration in the Hog and Donkey (see Betty Driver thread). Now that would be fun... How do Wikipedia deicde what's alllowed, and what isn't, because some of the Clive Dunn stuifs a bit dodgy - ie that he drinks £1-a-bottle wine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted January 30, 2006 That entry was obviously written by someone posting hereabouts since it contains inside knowledge; like the 'in joke' about Clive Dunn. I'll confess to having edited it changing 'impending desk' to 'impending death.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll confess to having edited it changing 'impending desk' to 'impending death.' But the in-joke about Clive Dunn was alluded to in the Sun. And, just perhaps, you "edited it" to cover the fact that you added the article in the first place. We're on to you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 30, 2006 According to Wikipedia's policies, anyone from Death List can now legitimately contribute to the article, since (as far as I know) someone unconnected created it. We now have a special Wikipedia page to do with as we will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted January 30, 2006 I like the way whoever added the Dicky O bit has put... 'dedicated to the well-being of...' Beautiful. Fair makes me weep, so it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We now have a special Wikipedia page to do with as we will. That's just what I was thinking, I've edited some articles before. Let's make hay while sun shines shall we? Maybe the list for this year with a paragraph on previous successes. Moderators, over to you! Also, shouldn't you guys slap copyright on the Deathlist? Once word gets round they'll be loads of them!
