No worries. Like I said it wasn't meant as an attack on you. It's just the way the word is so casually used for petty meddling that unsettles me. Sets me off into a mini-rant everytime.

If you look carefully you will see that Zebriski's page has been edited by a Rovers Fan. or so it seems. The grammar is bad but, if you look at a previous statement, you will see written (In writted type writing by Bluebottle and Eccles). and I quote." He singed for the gas and is gunn a score 50 goals this season". Note he singed for the Gas. Now with the best will in the world I doubt they are on X factor or Stars in thier eyes. Gunn a score 50 goals this season also shows the writer is about 12 to 14 or if at one of the lesser schools in Bristol age 16. He also has unsualy inflated ideas about how many goals a player can score unless he means own goals. Now theres a thought! so if thats really wiki I am not impressed.
If you look closer again. You will see i have edited his honours as having won a medal in the Champions league in 2008/9 obviously as he was with us that means Torquay won the Champions league. Again Highly unlikely. Oh what a dream that would be though lol. I was tempted to put Rovers relegation along with Excretia to the blue square south to join Plymuff. but thought better of it. Oh that would be a funny dream though

Wikipedia is not a source in any shape or form - I don't know why people continue to believe it is.

Wikipedia also states that Craig Easton is now our player. He's not - he may be in the future, who knows, but currently he is not and therefore wiki is wrong - same with zebs.

Sorry if you took offence HRG, but it can be a violation or abuse of something (non-sexual).

Wikipedia is not a source for transfers, the people who edit it are not part of the club, they tend to be fans of other clubs causing trouble. I don't understand how people on here think that that this could be a clue that they've signed him?

It seems strange, Torquay's credentials on Wiki are completely updated including new players signed yesterday, BUT no mention of Zebs as a player!

Buckle's is good..for now!

Off topic but do we really need to use the term rape to describe someone messing about on Wiki or Facebook? Rape is a violent and degrading violation of a person and it offends me that the word is used in connection with people accessing someone's FB account or editing Wiki.

Not meant to be an attack on you Monkeyboy. Just something that bothers me.

As you were.

Wikirape is becoming more and more prevalent, don't think I'll be using it as a resource for potential transfers.

'On the first of July 2011 Chris signed a 3 year deal with his old managers new club, Bristol Rovers'

Bad grammar used in there! What a giveaway!

It is feasible that it is a Gulls fan in Exeter, but more likely somebody on a wind up

Sneaky Grecians :whip:

It was edited by somebody from Exeter - I am guessing somebody on a wind up.

The same person edited Zebs' wiki entry three times today, and Guy Branstons too.
No other entries have been made.

Well, it probably is true. Or will be.

Theres no truth in wiki.
