A 2channel festival on wikipedia.
Some Festivals of 2 channel, like this and this. Then I found another one. You know wikipedia, that is the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. 2 channelers had fun there this time.
L'Arc en Ciel is a popular band in Japan. We think they are visual band but they hate to be called Visual Band. (Actually they protest and refused to appear on NHK, because they called them a Visual Band. ) Hyde is the vocalist who has a sweet face, but he is very short, his height is said "156cm" (5.15 feet or so). But officially it is a secret.
Then one day someone found when an edit "Hyde: height 156cm" on L'Arc's page on wiki, the height was deleted in a few hours. Then the festival began. Here is the history page.
>>404
>>yeah! (^0^) it has deleted already!!
>> Wow I wonder how much would be okay, I will edit 205cm!
>>I will edit height is 156cm - 176cm
>>Who wrote "retractile"??
>>Wow it has already deleted!! It's so quick!! it was just a few second.
>>The way of reading Hyde is 156cm?? No Way!
>>1560mm... laugh
>>Let's see...Hyde (156cm) made fantastic lyrics...
>>approximate 156cm in length! He is a insect??
>>Who wrote 156 in Link!!
----then festival heated up----
>>156cm was written as extra period in his history and profile.
1969年1月29日生まれ。156cm。出身は和歌山県。156cm。本名は宝井秀人。156cm。Hyde、S's。156cm。S's、画家への道を諦めた。156cm......
>>He is well known as a talented singer and his height(156cm), Oh bad!!
>>Since 2003, he united Hyde Band and he changed the direction 156 degree.
>>Born:1/56/156, Birth Place:156. Name:百五十六之助, Body height:156cm. Hyde(156cm) had dreamed to be a painter (156cm) .......
Bad joke? Yes it is. Do you hate this? I like those bad joke. :-p
You know what?? We know L'Arc is the big Band in Japan, but when you check the band in wiki, it is sometimes blank. Check it out.
I love Hyde so much....
It's so mean, but really hilarious what they did.
...I can't stop laughing. (^-^)

i think they changed the info in Wikipedia so much that Wiki has stopped people from editing the info already? haha. this is interesting. Actually i'm a hyde fan too. I think he's got a very charming pair of eyes and he's got a very good voice. That pretty much covers for his lack of height. ;p

LOL! Despite the band's huge popularity (especially Hyde's) its funny to see such inconsistancies. ^_^

Maybe they should start referring to blank pages in Wikipedia as a "156 Error" :)

If the wiki entry for the band L'Arc is blank, it is more than likely a "stub", an entry that can be added to by Wikipedia users. Either that, or something else is going on ...
