Wikipedia vandalism (Part 3: Football special!)

It's become something of a tradition on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog to celebrate each new season of the Premier League with a football related blog post.

This week is no exception as I take a football themed look at another subject which has graced the blog from time to time ... wikipedia vandalism.

1) Tottenham Hotspur (Bottling Company)


Tottenham have come close to the Premier League title in recent years, but they always seem to bottle it right at the end, leading someone to make the following edit to the wikipedia entry for 'List of Bottling companies'...

Wikipedia vandalism (part 2)

When it's not being used by partisan people to rewrite their own political/historical/sporting viewpoint, wikipedia can be a useful tool. However, it is susceptible to vandalism.

Real life vandalism is illegal.
But wikipedia vandalism is just a bit of a laugh!
I've previously featured a few of these examples of wikipedia vandalism on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, and as I like to 'recycle' ideas, it's time for a few more!

This week's blog post features more examples of wikipedia vandalism in a blog post I've creatively decided to call 'Wikipedia vandalism (part 2)'...

1) Scrappy Doo has a dark side


When I was young I can remember when Scrappy Doo was introduced to the Scooby Doo cartoons, and I didn't really like him very much.

However, I like him even less, now that I've discovered that apparently he's a convicted war criminal!

Scrappy Doo: "Convicted war criminal."
I have to admit, I can't remember watching that episode when I was a kid. #Censorship
