- Nonsense indeed. I'd say we get about 50 or so instances of such "vanity" edits to the Wikicalendar project each day. Normally Mr. English would have been a redlink, but since he shares his name with a notable person, the bluelink might have made this nonsense addition less obvious. Thanks for reverting it.
