Someone edited my uncle's page to say he had a great-nephew called Everett Alex Heiney. Hell knows where they got that. And they put the gory details of my cousin's death on there too. I could understand people getting ragged off with it. Wikipedia is a brilliant thing, but it can go horribly wrong – due to the very nature of humanity.

I'm sure they set it to that, maybe they changed back *shrugs*. Ok, i had a further look about, they stopped unregistered users from <em>creating pages</em>, but you can still edit them (unless they've been locked).

Darn. Simon That’s a shame – if you have to sign up then people will be less likely to add the odd line or fact to an entry on the spur of the moment. Darn.

I don't understand. I edited a persons thingmy on Wikipedia. And all of it was true things I added. It just so happens that it was someone else with the same name. But I didn't see it telling me I couldn't get confused. 1) It’s spelt ‘Sugababes’
