Wiki Vandalism

[mundens]

I wonder how long it will take for this to be noticed and cleaned up ?

Ivan Pavlov was born in Ryazan, Russia.... He received his doctorate in 1879. He later went on to discover alien life forms on the planet doushonmandick and made contact with them. This proved to be the greates accomplishment by any one man other than chuck norris

(No I didn't do it, I just happened to be looking up Pavlov.)

Half an hour. :)

Hmmmm, looks like it was up for at least 3 hours...

Actually, if you want something fun, go google "Eiseria (http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=eiseria).
All those results? Including several mentions in (poorly edited) newspapers?
Entirely due to a wikipedia vandalism that was left up for just over 24 hours, on the day before Halloween.

I figured it out when I got an email forward mentioning 'her'.
*headdesk*

I really wish they'd have a Wikipedia 'Stable version' option - ie you can surf through the equivalent of the 'nightly builds', or surf only the 'stable release' ie pages that have been up for at least say, 5 days.
Wouldn't help all the 'bugs', but would help with the temporary vandalisms.

No, I meant half an hour from the time mundens posted about it, to the time I edited it.

I'm just a killjoy that way. :)
