Wikipedia entry project


My original plan for this project was to vandalize the Twilight page and to see how long it took for it to be deleted. Apparently many people had the same idea as I did, as the Twilight page has been locked and is unable to be edited.

My next idea was to add to the page of former baseball player Jim Rice. Rice played for the Red Sox, and was controversially elected to the Hall of Fame last year. It was controversial due to the fact his statistical output over his career simply was not up to snuff, but after years of the Red Sox PR department chipping away at the voters, he finally got the bare minimum amount of votes and was elected.

What I did was to add some information about why Rice was a bad pick for the HOF. My edit is the last two sentences in the second paragraph.

EDIT, 11/29/09: The edit is still on the Wikipedia page after a couple of days. I have checked every day since the original edit and nothing was even slightly altered.
