Roll over, John Lennon, Wikipedia is more popular than Jesus and the Beatles combined.
speaking of fun, we're getting close to the bizarre area of the Internet:
"Klaus Holoch" is the spokesman of Brockhaus (English audience: please read "Britannica" with such well thought quotes like
""Die Brockhaus-Enzyklopädie bietet geprüftes Wissen, auf das man sich hundertprozentig verlassen kann." Dies sei bei Wikipedia keinesfalls so, behauptet er. Deshalb könne man Wikipedia nicht mit Brockhaus vergleichen."
"Brockhaus is providing verified knowledge on which you can rely on at 100 per cent." This is not the case at wikipedia, he claims. Because of this, you can't compare Wikipedia with Brockhaus"
(I might have mentioned it before)
Okay, here's the new part:
google for "Klaus Holoch": 220 hits google for "Klaus Holoch" wikipedia: 115
(Last week, there was a news agency-dispatch from dpa about wikipedia and it contained this statement from Holoch, this has resulted in some increase of google result numbers. This is the first time with more than 50% wikipedia-related pages when searching for his name only)
Jimmy, you might consider to appoint him as the honoris causa PR-volunteer of the German wikipedia project. After all, according to the omniscient web/google, his work is more connected to wikipedia than to his employer.
