It's been buzzing round, not doing anything, and now I got this message:

I blame the highly entertaining cricket vandalism of yesterday…

Was it the bricole controversy?

Nope, it was the on fire editing concerning the War of Jenkin's dog!

Hey, that's not right……………

;-D

Thanks,

Maybe I should not have updated the divide by zero page…

Wikipedia's DOWN?

I don't believe *it*?

Where's the "proof"?

Charared has a point- I didn't see one (reference needed) in that message. Ergo it is not true, ergo wiki is working.

(My name is Last Hussar and I once 'vandalised' – actually tried to use my boot to remove the wiki-ites heads from their collective backsides. A plot synopsys was tagged 'reference needed', so I typed "READ THE DAMN STORY" under it)
