Seems a bunch of twits on Wikipedia don't think that Matt Cutts is 'noteworthy' and want to delete his page. Thankfully though, the response from everyone ahs been 'keep'
My faith in Wikipedia decreases every day

ja, i popped in a comment about george bush on his .gov site..
i think he had 11,000 inbounds compared to more than 100,000 for Matt... unfortunately as I was typing Jill got her piece in about the fact that they (wiki) had decided to 'keep' Matts listing, so I felt a tad deflated... nonetheless, I stand by my guns and by what I said in my comment.... I HAVE to learn to type faster... apparently 10 wpm just doesn't cut it anymore ;-)
though I am still on tenterhooks for when i come home (Salt Rock / Ballito) for 3 weeks in feb... had to take unpaiod leave for 2 weeks as there is still no broadband out there... so my 10wpm will be fine while on holiday :-)
<edit> urm... curious about the fighter avatar? balls-to-the-walls-boys? or just don't.... :-) < end edit>

The animated gif comes from a fighting game called Garou: Mark of the Wolf. It's the 'idle pose' for this guy. Andy I think his name is.
lol, i remember doing typing back in high school. the minute I went over 8 wpm my accuracy score shot to hell faster than satanists on the 666 Express. Guess that just means I'd suck at typing jobs :p

don't worry, your spelling is on par with mine if I'm drowsy from flu/bronchitis meds :p Logically, that means is that you need to be more awake, which means an excuse for more coffee ;)
And yeah, many wikipedia editors are overzealous, though most of the time its because they're armchair-experts puffed up with self-importance because they're able to edit a very popular site.
Its an unfortunate side-effect of having a community effort :(
