    Someone has put Sparlock on Wikipedia somehow:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparlock

    I know there was a submission by a fellow JWN-er waiting for approval with some cited sources:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Sparlock

    It strikes me that maybe this entry that made it through, somehow, should be edited to reflect cited "official"/"credible" sources - such as the Reddit post, the Pharyngula article, and the official video itself...before they delete it for being unsupported or maybe un-neutral.

    Does anyone know how to do this? Alas, I do not :`(

    Mmm. I just did one:

    Sorry I didn't know about yours. Please edit mine. It isn't appearing in Google though. Will that come with time?

    It's not mine, somebody else did it. But it looks like it was just deleted after about 10 minutes because he didn't cite any sources or explain why it was significant...it was more biased/partisan than the original JWN member's entry. But it made it through for a few minutes, instead of being waitlisted for review like the first one! Not sure why...

    You probably won't get Sparlock his own page on wikipedia. Just add it to an already existing JW page.

    Yes, I linked to that above. I just found it curious that his made it through right away (though it was deleted) and yours has been pending review for several days. My idea was to edit the one that made it through with your info and citations (and add the Pharyngula citation for credibility), but it was taken down too quickly.

    Here is a screenshot of the submission that made it through for a while. I was surprised that it got through right away, as it's not exactly going for a neutral tone. But it did go through without being waitlisted, strangely.

    Hi Thanks Brizzy! Is that why it got deleated? I was going to go back to it and start doing references and stuff. Oh well.
