Punching up Wikipedia - Part VII
This is one of those “what the hell?” Wikipedia entries:
Julie Aberg Robison (born November 30, 1958) is a member of the town council of Cary, North Carolina.
Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Robison holds a master’s degree in urban planning from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A public administration specialist with Research Triangle Institute, Robison has lived in Cary since 1997, was first elected to the Cary Town Council in 2001 as an at-large representative, and re-elected in 2005. Although her office is officially non-partisan, Robison is affiliated with the Democratic Party. She is married and has two children.
If this article does nothing else, it proves once and for all Wikipedia’s superiority to old-school encyclopedias like Britannica. Not only is Wikipedia blessed with a surfeit of articles on every individual episode of Doctor Who (Encyclopedia Britannica has many glaring omissions in its list of Doctor Who eps), but it also gives us unparalleled insight into the membership of municipal government in obscure southern towns. If judged on its coverage of marginal regional politicians, Encyclopedia Britannica totally blows goats compared to Wikipedia.
As is my wont, here’s my “fake but inaccurate” version:
Julie Aberg Robison is a small village in County Durham, in England. It is situated to the north of Newton Ketton.
