BarrysWorld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not quite sure why I was looking at it, but was a bit miffed to find it had been changed. I reverted the mods anyroad.

Who the fuck is Andrew Barry Seward?

Yeah Brooky pointed this out some time back. I think we need Tom to go on another Wikipedia mission and fill it out.

I can't without reliable sources

/edit - ffs, stupid forum software

 

[MYstIC G]

I'd suggest BBC News and The Register if that helps. DaGaffer may also know if Game have an entire press release section online somewhere?

I'm just about to start on the Gunpowder Plot, so I'll not have time. I've given it a quick boot up the backside, but really if anyone here wants to see the article improved, provide a list of links from reliable sources, in this thread, and I'll see what I can do.

That means no blogs, no forum postings, no 'random stuff on google'. Just links to industry magazines, pages from newspapers, anything from a published source with a history of fact-checking really. If you have a book at home, scan the relevant pages that discuss BW and post them here.

I just have too many other things to do to spend time researching this. Oh and I can probably upload the BW smiley logo under a fair use rationale, so that would be handy too.

That doesn't tell me why the fucknut is claiming BW is named after him. Anyone know this guy?

 

[TdC]

imo it's just wiki vandalism?
