It's been everywhere. Someone at IMDB started up a huge rumor that Al had died and a bunch of people actually believed it. It took a long time for everyone to realize he was still alive.

But like Ryan said, people do this for every celebrity.

That's crap, but that's Wikapedia for you. People edit pages to put really stupid things on there because they have nothing better to do. People really need to get lives.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

I didn't mean large-scale, like Haha guy and trying to kill yourself with Diet Coke and Mentos on camera, but has been kind of a particular fad with Al ever since YP.

Anyone would be crazy to believe anything on Wikipedia, especially something having to do with an artist's death. That is just ridiculous.
taste is only something if it is yours.

Yesterday, someone had edited the caption above Al's photo to read something quite nasty but by the time I had logged in to fix it, it had been reverted back to normal.

I have never liked Wikipedia. Its a great concept but abused far too much.

Hmmm...something's gone horribly awry here...

Well, at least he wouldn't experience that "Oh my godNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" moment that we would. And he'd probably figure out a way to parody Mark Twain's "rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated" line. :D
Praise AL!

You know what? i dont think that Editing Wikipedia should be in WaN because on the mainpage it says it can be editted by anyone. but i have done that when my bro searched for turtles on it, i put Weird Al like, 50 times.

How do you add articles to a category? For example a song to the unreleased category.
