This may be a stupid question, but can someone point me towards the history behind this Wik chap? There's a lot of references now, but it seems to just predate me...
[nice little potted history of the [[Wik]] affair snipped]
Am I alone in thinking this really should be recorded somewhere for posterity, if not on :en: then maybe on :meta:?
I would also like to have access to similar potted histories for [[Michael]], [[Lir]] and [[Plautus Satire]] (although I understand [[Michael]] is undergoing some sort of rehabilitation now?) whose names crop up repeatedly with the assumption that everybody knows who they are and what they did.
I would like to second this. Oh, and a page for Treason, who crops up with the same sort of notriety.
On the other hand, it is recorded (for some value of posterity) right here on the mailing list. I don't know if my motivation is that of a concerned Wikipedian learning from history or of a thrillseeking scandalmonger. Probably both :)
C'mon, old-timers, set the record straight :)
