[NetBehaviour] what makes a notable life? [wikipedia]

[UQ0502]

or get really snidy about it. i know someone who built his own page on
wikipedia by starting to add to pages of magazines where he contributed or
appeared, then slowly worked his way around it, leaving his name on pages
with a missing page link, and anonymously posted a page about himself that
finally linked up with the rest.
it never got deleted, so i guess it's been googled and thought as ok!
