“You are very important and this is the first time I heard about him?” asked. “Is the Superfan Polyglot that wants everyone to know about his favorite writer / Composer?
Investigation
The Wikipia Wikipedia who goes “grinrchst” recently decided to find, into the deep water on the topics of the Wollard and any ponds that put his name in other articles. The results of the long and sad parent is written on August 9 Gnpost program, a voluntary newspaper operating on Wikipedia.
The end of GRRCHST was correct: “I found what I think might be one great work of encouraging Wikipedia’s history, taking more than ten years and covering many IP accounts and high IP addresses.
