[edit] Bruce Giddenson

Appears to be patent nonsense associated with Grande Trilogie of Epick Workes - no google hits, first article by editor. - Bantman 06:26, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nominator. I'm tempted just to tag it as nonsense. --GraemeL ^(talk) 12:09, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Move to BJAODN as a first article, it's utterly fanciful nonsense and hope to see equally well constructed real articles from the editor in future, meanwhile I've reverted 1315 and 1280. Alf 12:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Comment This particular article was created by User:Hamonicamusings and subsequently edited by User:205.197.148.2, I have encouraged 'them' to comment here. Alf 18:59, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete This article is a careful hoax. The author (205.197.148.2) should be blocked as the worst kind of vandal: a non-obvious one. --Tysto 15:40, 2005 August 23 (UTC)

yeah, this is hamonicamusings. I agree with Alf's suggestion, and put it up on the BJAODN. Even though it's a hoax, it was a pretty well thought out one...you have to give me that, at least. I am thinking though that it could use some historical references. No matter. I also thing that Tysto needs to lighten up a bit. But yeah, delete it or Move it to BJAODN. Probably the best place for it anyway. Hamonicamusings 20:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I tend to agree with Tysto; this is an example of the insidious vandalism that poses the greatest threat to WP. It was undetected for about 12 hours, and even touched up by other editors; I only caught it because I was watching 1280 and sensed that the article didn't look right. It could have stayed up for a long time without detection as a glaring example of WP's shortcomings. - Bantman 21:13, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete hoax. --Etacar11 03:53, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

BJAODN. Awesome hoax. Wish it was true. -HX
