I was just looking at Greyson's Wikapdia page. For some random reason under "Appearences" it says his favorite place to perfrom is Philly. I thought his favortie place to perfrom is NYC?

I saw that. Please remember that anyone can post anything to Wikipedia, so everything that you read there may not be correct.

Ah yes, that was put in on Christmas Eve by an anonymous editor in Pennsylvania (strangely enough!) - I've removed the claim as uncited. That anonymous editor had already received automatic warnings from Wikipedia's bots for vandalising the "Oklahoma" and "Edmond, Oklahoma" pages (too many exclamation marks, and inserting text ALL IN CAPITALS - Wikipedia can catch that sort of vandalism/over-enthusiasm automatically).
There's been quite an astonishing amount of vandalism to Greyson's article on Wikipedia in the last week or so (alleged girlfriends, changed instruments, age, etc) - as an administrator on Wikipedia it's almost-but-not-quite bad enough for me to lock the article against being edited by unregistered editors.

Huh, I hadn't looked at the Wiki page for a while now, a while back though I had fixed some errors on Greyson's page as well as the W4U Tour page. That's cool arwelp, didn't know you were a Wikipedia admin

Just saw that, it must of been added today because I did not see that when I looked this morning when I first read this topic. I took it upon myself to remove that line from the article as it was clear that it was written by someone who does not have the maturity enough to compose a decent article, grammatically or factual.

Ah, so you're ***.**.49.167, djtiny? Thanks for fixing that - I've just left a rather stiff note on **.**.17.60's talk page warning her not to mess about with it again or I'll block her from editing Wikipedia (for a serial recidivist like her she might get blocked for a couple of weeks rather than a day or so, but it's a bit at the whim of the Administrator bearing in mind how many warnings have previously been issued!). What enchancer28 found was the sixth lot of vandalism in 18 hours - I've had enough, I'm locking the article for a week so hopefully the kids will be heading back to school by the time it comes off!

Yes that would be me I actually probably should of logged in when I edited it, I had set up an account a while back and just didn't think of it yesterday.

Sigh! Thanks for letting us know. I've cleaned up the article, and since it was previously blocked against anonymous edits for 1, 3, and 6 months, I've taken the next step and blocked anonymous editors for a year - at least future vandals will have had to have had a Wikipedia account for four days first!

I've been wondering who has been keeping it up-to-date. I edited it once when they had all kinds of info wrong, but I don't look at it much and don't enough about Wikipedia editing rules to really help out with that.
