Erv Wilson on Wikipedia

Adding an Erv Wilson link to one of my web pages, I looked at the Erv
Wilson article on Wikipedia. Those anonymous edits which drive Carl
nuts keep making it better and better. We have one nym starting it,
another apparently different nym Wikifying it and adding a category,
some goofup named Gene Ward Smith putting in a stub marker, and still
a third anonymous editor, this one not even a nym but a mere IP
address, telling us neat stuff such as that Erv was born in 1929 in
Mexico and has a dual citizenship. I think if we can get five more
anonymous people to pitch in we could have a really great article.
Plus, it's the *only* article on Mr. Wilson in any reference work so
far as I know.

John Chalmers- if you're listening, maybe you can take it
upon yourself to have a go

I made a bunch of changes.

Hey, check this picture out:

Is that really Paul Hahn front-left? Looks more like it
might be Paul Rapoport!
