Wikipedia just gave me a heart attack!

There I was, checking out Prince's entry on Wikidpedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...(musician)

The dates at the top made my heart beat faster, I'm still feeling rather light headed. I just had to scroll down to make sure there wasn't anything up with our boy.

I wish they'd just put the date of birth and not anything else!!

Do you think that it appears as if Prince is already dead?

If the person is still alive, it's only supposed to be a birth date and nothing else.

I won't write for Wikipedia anymore. An artist once used an article I wrote and wikipedia got me for plagiarism even though the artist clearly credited wikipedia. The jerks who came after me still won't back down. They told me to have the artist contact them. Yeah, right. Idiots.

Yeah, you're SO right, I did it because I have nothing better to do with my time..(sheesh).

p.s. I've just checked and the end date has been removed, thankfully!

Like I say...I rarely travel to any links that are posted here...simply because I don't know what to expect...I will go to the online Newspapers occasionally...although if I don't recognize a respectable company in the address...I don't even bother...They get paid to talk however they want to...

Sorry that happened to you snap... cool
