My wife's a big fan of Kenny G, so we went to Wikipedia to find some information on him.

I found it very enlightening.

Fixed it for you (I reverted to a previous version).
 
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
 
And look, already fixed. [Smile]
 
Posted by Speed (Member # 5162) on :
 
Oh, now it's ruined.

By the way, I didn't have anything to do with the changed page, but I thought it was good for a laugh, and more accurate than the "correct" version.

Here's the old version for your viewing enjoyment: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kenny_G&oldid=23980587

I'd just fixed the link in my original post, but thanks. [Smile]

Come on dude, even after the page was fixed I still thought that it was very funny. You should appreciate what Pat Metheny said regarding Kenny G.
Thank you for the link though Speed that was good laughs.

While we're on the subject, here's some Norm MacDonald quotes on Kenny G.

quote:
Playing in a music store in New York this week, Kenny G set a world record by holding a saxophone note for 45 minutes. While he did warn spectators that it would be quite boring, it should be noted that it is every bit as boring to hear Kenny G play different saxophone notes for 45 minutes.
quote:
Kenny G has a Christmas album out this year. Happy Birthday Jesus. Hope you like crap!

So when someone makes these type of changes are they banned from being an editor?
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch.

Poor Kenny G. He tries so hard.
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
If someone keeps doing it, particularly at a high rate (many times per day), yeah, they can get banned, permanently or temporarily.

Most times the defacement only last minutes, or maybe a few hours. This one appeared a bit before nine in the morning today, and isn't repeated, so nobody cares enough to ban the person; they might make worthwhile contributions to other articles.

Every time someone compares my saxophone-playing abilities to Kenny G, I cringe a little inside.
 
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
 
You don't like Kenny? Gee!
 
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
 
It's messed up again. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Kenny G as a musician, the original article is much better. [Smile]
 
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
 
Tatiana -- nobody's messed with it since I fixed it except to remove a couple newlines. What are you referring to?
 
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
 
It is messed up. It has all the factual stuff again.
 
Posted by Puppy (Member # 6721) on :
 
I don't know, after watching people I care about get vilified on Wikipedia, I don't think it's that funny anymore.
 
Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
 
Oh, my mistake, sorry! I had a link I thought was to the current revision, but must be to the bad one.

Joldo <laughs>, that wasn't what I meant. [Smile]
