I corrected what appeared to be unverifiable vandalism on a Wikipedia article, then checked out the contributions of the user who had added it, to find out if this was something they might have done more of.

I saw this and said "Oh no, what did I just step in?"

The apparent vandalism was that "His subsequent musical stylings were informed by the likes of [[The Archies]]". "His" here refers to Nivek Ogre, known for his work with Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, and Pigface.

Sometimes these things turn out to be strange-but-true. Rod Stewart really is super into model trains! But a while back I deleted WIkipedia's claim that Brian Eno was a "pigeon fancier".

I wish I had been able to verify that Nivek Ogre had been influenced by the Archies, but it wasn't in the cited source.

I originally wrote "Sir Brian Eno" in that post but it appears that Eno has not yet been knighted! He is not even Brian Eno MBE! How is this possible?

Get on the stick, Charlie!
