It worries me a little that I can spot Wikipedia text a mile off - our
house style isn't that obvious, is it? - but it seems to be one of
those little skills you pick up after a while. Very useful for marking
school essays, I'm sure.
Anyhow, I was packing up some boxes today, and happened across the box
for the Nokia 770 (a really useful little bit of kit, incidentally),
which shows someone merrily using the device to chatter away to a
friend on an instant messenger. For some reason, the friend is writing
something to them about poetry.
I looked at the sentence. Something went click.
"Kim: A poem is a composition usually written in verse. Poems rely
heavily on imagery, precise word choice, and metaphor, may be written
in measures consisting of" [...]

I'm used to seeing our content reused all over the place, but somehow
I didn't expect to see fragments used as lorem-ipsum filler on a box

I created a couple of articles about local Catholic churches (of outstanding
architecture). I have been away on campus for a while and have not been able
to check my articles. I will admit that my original wasn't great but it has

the new text is very dodgy but definately compliments my original text.
Should I be bold and delete the text which offends me? I am unfortunately a
congregant of the church and I know that the person who has written most of
the new text is a cleric in the order. From both sides there is a conflict
of interest. comments?
Hi.
I just happened to be searching wikipedia looking up information on the different political parties of america and their leaders when i came across the lyndon larouche article.
So i had a bit of a read and i came "Operation Mop up", Now what is interesting here is that it says that Larouche party members attacked Communist Party member with nunchuks.
Now seriously this sounds like something out of a bruce lee movie. You should have said baseball bats, that would have been more believeable.
I mean else does this Mr Larouche have:
Ninja Death Squads.
To conclude, get real.
Since people were asking ...

Tim looked at again recently. Some fixes where made, and it is on at
testwikipedia.org. I'd really like to get to test this on a bigger
site soon.
