Fixing Wikipedia

This has little to do about anything but I think it is funny. So I am in the Duke and an Australian movie star walks in. We have had our share of stars down here but none this big -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Jones_(wrestler)

I was trying to figure out his name hence I finally found a movie site that pointed to his Wiki. Then I followed some of the links and ended up on this wiki -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Howard. This is his trainer. Now follow this link -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Howard#Film. This points to Tom’s budding movie carreer. Which features the not so old Thai film Som Tum. Nathan was also in Som Tum.

However the Wiki links to this rather than the movie. So I edited the Wiki:

som_tam.jpg

I am not sure if my edit will stick so at least with pic at the left you can see what I wrote. Interested to see how long the edit stays or if someone fixes the link or not. pmmp is always editing his wiki but it never sticks.

I had considered heading over to Nathan’s table and letting him know about the wiki error but then I read this:

Before his career as a wrestler, Nathan Jones was sentenced to 16 years in Boggo Road Gaol for eight armed robberies between 1985-1987, two of them in Tasmania. During the robberies, he became one of Australia’s most wanted. He ended up serving seven years in a maximum-security prison and one year on work release.

Fuck the wiki.

    It might be of some interest if Nicole Kidman waked in in the nude but to hear that some over sized guy walked in is of no, repeat no, interest to this guy or any one who is in to the p4p action. But I’m sure the lady boys would be thrilled.

    I watched SomTum - It was a steaming turd of a film. Ive had more fun shoving razorblades down my japs-eye and rubbing chilli sauce into my eyes

    Whether or not id say this to his face is a different matter
