Have you ever vandalised an entry on Wikipedia?

CASWO (RAF Warrant Officer to the Chief of the RAF) Alpert was universally hated across the RAF and there was an attack on his Wiki recently. As dull as it sounds, it was epic to watch real time. It went on for a few days, as new entries went up, they were taken down, rinse and repeat. No idea if it was the man himself who was doing deleting all the comments, but wouldn't surprise me as he all he cared about was his image.
 
A couple of years after the A380 went into service, I amended the blackpool international airport wiki to say that come 2015, it plans to have the infrastructure in place to handle said aircraft. I posted this onto an aviation forum and let me tell you, the arguing and debates amongst those nerds kept me entertained for weeks.
 
Revisiting this, over the last couple of days, during periods of insomnia, I've been entertaining myself by having weird conversations with AI engines. Each one I've tried, I've deliberately started a conversation about this TV show and asked the character names.

They all include the middle name I invented. Does that make it fact now?
 
My colleague altered the Ribena page to include that the inventor was my great grandfather. Stayed up for a few months before being removed.
 
years ago I edited the wiki for Buckfast tonic wine and wrote a (well written if I say so myself considering the amount I had drunk before writing) article about it's history. I can't remember how long it stayed up for but it was a while (I want to say a few months but it was definitely weeks).
I have also legitimately updated a couple

It's annoying isn't it.

I've searched through most of the Shows Feek has mentioned before and I can't find it. ChatGPT also came up empty and various other websites purporting to list Characters with Odd Middle Names etc don't seem to have it

After a few questions, ChatGPT gave me Sideshow Bobs full name as Robert Underdunk Terwilliger Jr. Certainly an unusual middle name.

A bit of digging around, found an edit on Wikipedia on Sideshow Bobs page;

13:12, 1 August 2002 216.129.209.178 talk m 948 bytes +17 Added middle name

Gotcha!...I thought.

But alas, when interrogating ChapGPT further, it turns out there is only a single mention of Bobs middle name in Season 6 Episode 5 from 1994. It was even kind enough to give me a timestamp around the 6:25 mark (which I'm actually quite impressed with).

His mother's maiden name is also Underdunk, when she appeared in a later episode from 2007. So unfortunately not the name Feek has amended.

I think that's about as much effort as I'm going to put into this.

Would be funny if that is the one he thinks he invented. Turns out he just remembered it from a 1994 episode without realising.

Dreams crushed :cry:

I enjoy the commitment. A pro working his craft.

You've been feeding the AI slop machine before AI slop was even a thing! :D :D
