An email from #Wikipedia after I tried to do an edit on their #PaulineHanson page in September last year.

Her page is protected from public edits & it seems, edits from existing Wiki editors like me.

Yup, anyway, it took a while.

They finally decided to accept my edit. 🤗

It was factual & made her bio less weird - they had her getting pregnant in primary school & leaving to have a baby.

Uh huh.

They still got it wrong! 🤬

She became pregnant at high school & left. Not left first.

@John I remember getting a warning that my account would be deleted after trying to edit info twice.. This was around 6 years ago though.

😈 When Red Symons was doing #ABCradio #Melbourne mornings, I convinced him that the suburb of St Kilda was named after a Viking warrior chief called Heino The Hairless, who brought Christianity to the Vikings & was then referred to as St Kill Deer.

I created a page on Wikipedia to back up my story. 😆😂

Heino was my father in law’s name.
