Congratulations @Predictor Far from me to tell you how to run your own dead pool but I shall offer my opinion anyway, for what it’s worth. Why on earth would you award points according to an edit on Wikipedia, without waiting for a credible source (or at the very least a FB or Twitter post)? If I wanted to, I could kill off any of the centenarians you’ve listed on page 1 here from a fresh IP in seconds and make it look like a semi credible edit to the page. It isn’t hard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
