3. Never ever edit your own Wikipedia page to look good

The day the dolphin died

Monday, February 4th, 2008

So the University dolphin is dead. Long live the… erm… text.

Also, I don’t really like iSoton www.southampton.ac.uk/isoton (oh and apparently it’s southampton.ac.uk and not soton any more). The idea of having user uploaded content on there surprises me. Just wait for youtube videos of happy slapping, flickr images of drunk students, delicious tags of ‘crime’ [...]
