sirwattiesmith 7 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Any of you noticed what has happened to our wiki page? Its all in past tense and I'm wondering how they can get away with this.No idea how to get this sorted but its making my blood boil so can any of you shed some light on this? It better get sorted soon. I can't seem to rectify it back to normal. I know its only wiki but even still.... I don't like them getting away with this sort of thing.

heartofabear 1 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 go to the "talk page" icon on the wiki page; that will take you into an edit type page where you can leave comments on the page. note that you cannot just change the actual page, wikipedia does that. note also that they try to keep supporting and emotion off the pages and just deal with facts. if you can can convince them their facts are wrong, with references etc then they will change it.

Johnstone Burgh 1,659 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If you want to try and fix it, go onto this page and start arguing with that obsessed cunt Fishiehelper2.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rangers_F.C.#Complaint_about_.27Rangers_Football_Club_was_a_football_club.27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_ 893 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 dont add anything. Alot of good arguements are being made, backed-up by official sources & precedents right now to have the article restored. New Users coming from forums to express outrage is counter productive and dilutes down the good work others are doing to gain a fair & factual representation of Rangers on Wikipedia.

bigblueyonder 11,158 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 anyone can edit a wiki page unless it's locked like ours, it was locked a week or so back with the correct tense, not sure why it's been changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,737 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 The whole Wiki thing is a complete farce, I know anyone can edit it and it shouldnt really wind me up but the whole "was a football club" thing is a pisstake.

Reeks of desperation.My wee fella is 16 and edited our home town's Wiki to say he had founded it and all sorts of mental shit. I was pissed off, but in fairness it was funny. Any Tim who feels the need to do that to ours is showing themselves to be totally juvenile. Maybe they think it convinces themselves that it's true.

They have created a whole new page for "Newco" Rangers... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could start a web page fucking Celtic over in many ways, but would their fans really care? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
