Hard To Tell If Wikipedia Entry On Dada Has Been Vandalized Or Not

From The Onion, Hard To Tell If Wikipedia Entry On Dada Has Been Vandalized Or Not. Sadly the actual article is boringly factual (or it was; I've had a go at improving it but I doubt it will last. I like the way my version ends with an impassioned yes yes).

Since the last of the CRU-email inquiries came in, a whole string of rubbish journo's have been queuing up to try to explain why, given that the inquires enhonerated the scientists, there was so much kerfuffle over the whole issue. Naturally, given that the journo's can't have been wrong, the…

Picked the Onion up at the airport and laughed through a bend fold spindle and mutilate flight segment. Still, I would not want to mess with the brave Wikipedia OTRS organization operators. . .

Odd, nobody has added you to the list of identified Dadaists, yet. Perhaps disemvoweling would help?
