One of my secret goals in life is to have a listing on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a user edited online encyclopedia with entries on just about everything and everybody from anal fissures to ZZ Top.
I know it's nerdy and weird but I've always thought that you haven't officially "arrived" until you get listed on Wikipedia and even though Wikipedia can be user edited, users can't add themselves or anyone else to it, it's all up to the powers that be at Wikipedia. Usually you have to be in a movie, on a tv show, signed to a major record label, a government figure, or someone who is otherwise famous or has made headlines to get your own listing there.
Even though I'm not an actor, I have been on TV before. As I shared with you all in this post, I was a contestant on the PBS geography game show for kids "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego", when I was 11. A little while ago I was playing around online and Googled myself and found a Wikipedia listing of episodes of "...Carmen Sandiego" along with all the winners (yes I won) and there I was. My question is how does Wikipedia get access to all this info? How did they know about a game show I was on when I was 11?
It's really cool that I'm even mentioned on there. One of these days, I'll have a full entry.
