The article of the day goes by Universal Time a.k.a. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), so Al's day is over. Down Syndrome is the article of the day for December 5, which it currently is in GMT. Don't worry, Al got the full 24 hours.
Here's a screen grab from this morning for anyone who missed it.
For the most part, at the end of the day, the article didn't differ much from the beginning. That's a sign it was a really good article to begin with. A couple people mentioned on the talk page that they wanted to edit, but found the article so well written, they couldn't find anything to change! But I do think there were some really good edits made regardless, and any vandalism was quickly disposed of.

Ok, I read it over, and I understand. I'm sorry if I offended you or anyone who knows anyone with Down's

Now that's probably the best praise for all the people who worked on it in the first place. Good job, everyone!

I know this post is old, but Weird Al does have a Wiki. In fact, it's hosted right here on WOWAY. Just click on the "Wiki" button in the upper right of any page, or go here. We're a lot more relaxed than Wikipedia, where sometimes things are so strict, editing an article is about as much fun as attending a funeral. We welcome anyone to join in, and I'll be happy to help you out or get you started, even if you have no prior Wiki experience.
Actually, after that post, I found the wiki, and a lot of what you can see on the Even Worse album page was my contribution.

I've been slacking lately, due to lack of intarwebs, but that shall be fixed this week, so expect a lot more of my ugly mug around!! MWAHAHA!
And great news about the UK wiki!

I like how it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb in that list.

That's true. It's all these things that you would expect would be vandalized, and then you have Atlantic Records randomly thrown in.
