Now I think Wikipedia is great, but lately it's become a point of amusement! One of my favourite radio shows 'Get This' has been encouraging people to 'vandalise' particular Wikipedia pages. It's hilarious! Check out the pages of the hosts of the show, Tony Martin & Ed Kavalee, & panelist Richard Marsland. You can't edit them anymore because of 'vandalism'! Haha! 'Get This' is one of the best radio shows around, although I found that it took a while to adjust to it. It's an aquired taste simply because of it's strange format. It doesn't sound like most radio shows, it has a distinct flavour. I love it now. They are self confessed geeks who are very, very funny! I'd love to hang out with them, I think they'd make me giggle like a school girl! The show is on Triple M from 9 - 10am weekdays. You can podcast it if you like. Well worth it!

I'm gonna stick with Hamish and Andy though. I don't have time to sit around listening to hundreds of podcasts...
i love Get This, but i hardly get to hear it because of the time it's on. :-(
I love Hamish & Andy! I'm torn between them and the shebang. They're both such great shows. Marty Sheargold is a radio genius!
Triple J's morning show J and the Doctor also did this sort of thing except rather than ruin other pages they created a new page about the fictional "Mini Mammoth" the pet craze sweeping the world. They had photoshoped images, fake newspaper articles, everything - very hilarious. Shame it got deleted (contrary to stated wiki policy)
"Yeah! Stick it to 'the man' and be rebellious by writing misleading comments in Wikipedia even though it's only for our benifit and lots of other people try and use it"
And yeah I know this conversation is long dead.
