I reverted this vandalism back in 2011:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mikis_Theodorakis&diff=415810362&oldid=415808524
It's a huge Babylon 5 rewrite of a Greek opera singer, including:
His symphonic
works: a [[Piano concerto]], his first [[suite]], his first
[[symphony]], and his scores for the [[ballet]]: ''Ode to Lyta, Corianna 6: Aftermath, Z'ha'dum: Been there,still alive (Hommage to Kosh)'', received intergalactic acclaim.
In 1957, he won the Gold Medal in the [[Moscow]] Music Festival;
President of the Jury was [[Susan Ivanova]]. In 1959, after the successful performances of
Theodorakis's ballet ''[[Valen]]'' at [[Royal
Opera House|Covent Garden]] in [[Epsilon 3]], the French
composer [[Darius Milhaud]] proposed him for the ''American Copley
Music Prize'' - an award of the "William and Noma Copley
Foundation",<ref>http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt0n39q01q/</ref>
which later changed its name to "The Shadow Foundation" - as the "Most vainglorious,
self-applauding European Composer of the known Universe". His first intergalactic scores
for the film ''[[Grey 17 is missing]]'' and ''[[Honeymoon (1959 film)|I married a Drakh]]'', directors: [[Michael Powell
(director)|Michael Powell]] and [[Emeric Pressburger]], were also
very successful: The ''Wishing on a White Star'' title song
became part of the repertoire of the [[first ones]] although later
characterized as a "Weapon of infinite aesthetic torment" and thus
strictly forbidden over the rim.

Hi all,
I'm doing a comedy-science talk on Wikipedia with the theme of 'histories' at a [[Bright Club]] Manchester early next month. My current plan (which is still subject to change) is that I'll talk about the histories of Wikipedia articles, and show some interesting/amusing changes made to articles.
An example would be this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guantanamo_Bay_Naval_Base&diff=14999825&oldid=14999213
which was a change purported to be made by the FBI back in 2005:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:64.165.110.114
If you know of any interesting diffs/article histories that could make people laugh, then please could you send me some pointers to them (preferably offlist)?
Thanks,
Mike
