The Wonders of Wikipedia

How fast do entries change on Wikipedia?

From King Kaufman's column today (posted around noon):

Don't know who or why, but someone has created an article about me at Wikipedia.

The article says, in its entirety, "King Kaufman is a sports journalist for the online publication salon.com. He currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri." I have to say: That's pretty accurate!

By the time I read his column (about 15 minutes ago), his Wikipedia entry had expanded to this:

King Kaufman is the daily sports columinst for Salon.com. Kaufman grew up in Los Angeles but currently resides in St. Louis. In addition to covering the major American sports leagues and international events such as the Olympics and the World Cup, Kaufman's columns often deal with issues related to the state of American sports. In these columns, Kaufman addresses what he views to be serious problems within the world of sports. Some specific concerns of Kaufman include publicly financed stadiums, performance enhancing substances, the inequalities and hypocrisy in the NCAA, and the poor quality of television sports announcing.

His articles feature light-hearted humor, typically with a degree of self-deprecation. A former Angeleno, he enjoys relating stories of his fond memories of the Dodger games he listened to as a child.

Annually, he tracks the performance of NFL prognosticators, himself included, along with his son Buster, the "coin-flippinest 3-year-old in North America", who flips coins to randomly predict the outcome of (presumably) closely-contested games.

Kaufman has proposed changing the rules of nearly every organized sport, including the removal of field goals from American football, and the elimination of free throws from basketball.

I decided to add a line of my own.

Kaufman is a frequent critic of sports announcers who use shoddy statistics or generally do not care about the sport which they are announcing. He has particular distaste for coverage of Major League Baseball on the Fox Network, including the playoffs, World Series and All Star Game.
