Not sure if there are any Wikipedians here that can help, but the Bret Bielema page on Wikipedia keeps getting changed to give him the nickname "Be rt". (had to put the space in because apparently hogville auto corrects that name) I assume it is a Wisconsin fan or something. As of the moment of me writing this, it is ok and looks fine, but if you look at the history of the page, it has been changed 4 or 5 times now to include "Be rt" (no space) as his official nickname. If anyone who is active on Wikipedia could add it to their watch page and revert the vandalism as it occurs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Any way to get wikipedia to lock it? I guess its open for anyone to change.

I don't even know why people think "Be rt" is somehow bad or funny...I guess I just don't get the humor.

I can see it as a term of endearment, but I also tell myself that when my wife calls me a**hole.

Got rid of the vandalism twice, they changed it back within 5 minutes. What boring lives these people must lead.

You hear something enough and it kinda grows on you.

It's kinda scary a grown man trolls a wiki page to constantly change the content....stalker-ish

but monitoring it every five minutes to change it is exciting? I see now.
This is fun, isn't it.

I call him Be-rt and I like him. It's just a joke, no big deal.

This. His nickname on other boards is Ber t. A lot of people's wiki pages have their nickname in quotes like that. It's not vandalism. This thread is ridiculous.
