Yes sorry that probably won't help if you are not from the UK. There is
an article about it if you are interested in knowing more.

Ok, if we can write this in a way so that it conforms to encyclopaedic
standards and so we cover pataphysics on the 'pedia then great. It
doesn't help when Harry Potter keeps reverting back to nonsense all the
time.

Fine, then the person copying this work should make this clear in the
talk page. They shouldn't just submit work as if it was their own.
Things in the public domain should be credited too.

Yes I am quite aware that TONY Hancock was a real person and am quite
aware of his pedigree. /HE/ played a character called ANTHONY ALOYSUS
Hancock in the film The Rebel! I wrote this in the paragraph you are
responding to!!! It may be worthwhile to read a film review or two of
The Rebel, or one of the bios TONY Hancock; it helps you to release what
a sorry web HP is weaving on our encyclopedia.

It has already been moved. However HP's trail of destruction lies across
lots of pages, see his User Contributions. I had hoped that VfD would be
a very visible place to so I could get some help in undoing the damage
he is doing.
