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.

Today I learned that Nivek Ogre, supposedly influenced in his early work by The Archies, recorded a song called "Fascist Jock Itch". Now I would like very much to hear the original Archies version.

The song title is pretty good, but does not quite approach the standard set by John Zorn's "Perfume of a Critic's Burning Flesh".
