Tim Powers: Wikipedia troll?
(Ha har Slashdot-style subject line.)
Speaking of procrastination, I mean Wikipedia, here's an edit I made a couple of weeks ago to the French and Indian War article. As noted, I appreciated the vandal's creativity, which went above and beyond the usual vandal behavior of replacing the entire article with "LOL PENUS" or whatever, but still.
What's extra-great is that the modified text lived in the article for about two hours, managing to survive several (probably bot-driven) reverts, including the removal of another WP user's rather reasonable commentary on the matter.
