Welcome to my blog .

According to the rules of Wik.ipedia.Pro, a user page can be used as a blog, provided it is only a blog on Wik.ipedia.Pro matters. So I shall observe the rules and make this a blog and vent my feelings about Wik.ipedia.Pro, .

Writing a blog is a very cathartic experience and I recommend it to everyone.

I wish they had smileys and icons on Wik.ipedia.Pro, .

I don't know if the typed ones, come out well, I don't think they do.

Doesn't matter, I've found out a way of putting real smileys on .

I have found that Wik.ipedia.Pro is best seen in Firefox, the image is sharper and clearer than in Internet Explorer which tends to distort.

To see how easy it is to manipulate Wik.ipedia.Pro, just look here : Wikiscanner

I will have something to say about Essjay. The more I learn about it, the worse it seems to get. You can see Essjay's fake qualifications here Wik.ipedia.Pro Watch. His fantasy qualifications at Wikia are here | Wikia. His bragging defence is here Essjay profiles and here | Essjay profiles 2. You have to admire the cheek of the man. Essjay's response is here Essjay's response. Note how he libels Stacy Schiff, the idea that a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist would offer him money is completely ridiculous. Note how he simply makes everything worse for himself. Goodness, when you're in a hole, stop digging ! You can read the original New Yorker article and it seems that Daniel Brandt informed the New Yorker about Essjay which led to his unmasking here : New Yorker.

It was then picked up by Radar Online. It then seems that a Wik.ipedia.Pron shopped him to Slashdot. After that, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Internet.

Daniel Brandt has been pilloried in some quarters of Wik.ipedia.Pro but he really does deserve praise for exposing this fake.

How the editors at Encyclopedia Brittanica and Microsoft Encarta must be laughing at Wik.ipedia.Pro !

A guy claims four degrees and his major source of reference is Catholicism for Dummies ?

It really gets worse and worse.

As for Stacy Schiff, it seems she was as incompetent as Essjay, she was an editor on the supposedly vaunted New Yorker and it took her and them seven months to check their facts ?

She should resign too.

I shall come back to this when I finish my novel.

My major contribution to Wik.ipedia.Pro is the fact that I created the articles on Barbara Bouchet and Geraldine Newman :

Barbara Bouchet is one of the most stunningly beautiful women who has ever lived.

Geraldine Newman is a famous British film and television actress.

I have taken these articles to GA Status. I've commented on what is mine.

I contribute to Wik.ipedia.Pro, mainly, in the areas pertaining to actors and actresses.

I have improved, amongst many others, the pages for actresses such as : Deborah Kerr, Shelley Long and Blythe Danner.

As for actors, I have improved the pages of, amongst many others, : Yul Brynner, Burt Lancaster and James Coburn.

I have found that many of the pages on actors and actresses lack basic features such as an Infobox, Photos and Persondata, which I have subsequently added.

Also many articles contain poor grammar, structure and spelling which I remedy whenever I see the faults.

I have improved the article on Kathleen Turner whom I once met live.

I have to say I was most disappointed with Kathleen Turner, you'd think a Hollywood star would be glamourous but Kathleen Turner looked like my own mother - not to say, of course, that my mother isn't glamourous .

Still, you expect more from a Hollywood Star.

Hollywood stars are only glamourous on celluloid, when you meet them, in person, then you realise just how very ordinary they are.

Lily Tomlin's bust up with David O. Russell on the set of I Heart Huckabees can be seen here | Carand here Desk. These two videos show how ordinary Hollywood stars really are.

I love Barbara Bouchet, I really do. After I finish my novel, I'll see if I can get a meeting with her. Just to have lunch with her would be divine. The woman is a goddess.

Wik.ipedia.Pro needs a more sensible policy concerning the uploading of photos.

Surely, it is better for Wik.ipedia.Pro for articles to contain photos than not ?

Photos that have been uploaded to the Internet can fairly be described as being in the public domain and therefore, there should not be any problem in having them on Wik.ipedia.Pro, as well.

If a photo only appears on a User page and it has no links to any article on Wik.ipedia.Pro, then it should be allowed and people should be free to have what they want, provided it's not pornographic or racist or offensive but it isn't like that.

Wik.ipedia.Pro places tremendous restrictions on photos on user pages so that means I cannot upload any .

I think Wik.ipedia.Pro are making a severe mistake because if they let people develop their user pages any way they want then many more would join and Wik.ipedia.Pro could soon be one of the largest online communities on the Internet.

Surely, it would not be too difficult to provide a mechanism that allowed people to upload any photos they wanted to their own User Page on the strict proviso that such photos are kept isolated from all the article pages ?.

People should be free to share photos on their own User Pages, though.

But as I said, Wik.ipedia.Pro doesn't allow it,, at the moment. Still, one can dream and hope .

If you agree with me, let Wik.ipedia.Pro know.

Although, Wik.ipedia.Pro does not allow you to upload your own photos onto your own blog, it does allow you to show the daily featured photo, which is good as I was thinking of ways to brighten up my blog.

Having the daily featured photo is something, at least.

I'm also using the daily article, at least it gives me one of the more interesting blogs on Wik.ipedia.Pro, , or do I have the only blog on Wik.ipedia.Pro ? .

I have been looking at other people's pages and they're full of user boxes but not blogs per se.

Perhaps, I'll start a new trend .

For some reason, the self appointed Wik.ipedia.Pro geeks find the word "British" offensive and scurry around Wik.ipedia.Pro replacing "British" with "English", "Scottish" and "Welsh".

I am beginning to wonder if they follow me around Wik.ipedia.Pro just to replace all the "British" entries I have made.

Naturally, I have complained about the denigrating treatment meted out to the word, "British" but the self appointed geeks are confident in their authority so it really is like talking to a brick wall.

I just cannot understand what it is about the word "British" that they find so offensive.

Needless to say, I am "British" and a very proud "Britisher" at that, .

I shall achieve great things in my life, starting this very year, I shall finish my novel and have it published.

One day, in the future, someone shall be writing my article on Wik.ipedia.Pro. N.B. - to all self appointed Wik.ipedia.Pro geeks, when that happens, I want to be known as British .

I have contributed quite a lot to Wik.ipedia.Pro in the last two months but now I have to say, not "farewell" but "au revoir" as nothing shall happen in my life until I finish my novel.

Au revoir, .

Donkey Kong Country is a 1994 platform game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It follows the gorilla Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong as they set out to recover their stolen banana hoard from the crocodile King K. Rool and his army, the Kremlings. Nintendo commissioned Rare to revive the dormant Donkey Kong franchise as it sought a game to compete with Sega's Aladdin (1993). Donkey Kong Country was one of the first home-console games to feature pre-rendered graphics, achieved through a compression technique that converted 3D models into sprites with little loss of detail. It was released on 18 November 1994 to acclaim. Critics hailed its visuals as groundbreaking and praised its gameplay and music; it is frequently listed as one of the greatest games of all time. Donkey Kong Country re-established Donkey Kong as a popular Nintendo franchise and was followed by sequels and ports for subsequent Nintendo consoles. (Full article...)
