We've been mentioned in issue 1259 of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Eye [[Lord_Gnome]] has included
us in page 6's Street of Shame, because this edit
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mephedrone&diff=prev&oldid=323500567
lead to the rest of [[Fleet Street]] calling [[Mephedrone]] Miaow.
The Eye also made the point that if the drug had come to Public
attention a little earlier it would have been called "The Chinese"
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mephedrone&diff=next&oldid=321796990
or a little later "Mugabe".
This has lead to a discussion at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mephedrone#Meow_meow
And raises the question as to whether this redirect
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Miaow_miaow&action=history
is self referential.
Of course if the edit was legit we need to inform the Eye.
