this star of hong kong

Gary Chan - despite his breast effort - is in need of help. Indeed, of Legco's 60 members, who would have expected that it would be its youngest that neglected the power of teh internets?

Some nefarious character, you see, has manipulated poor Gazza's wikipedia page. Rather than pointing to his laudable engagement of Hong Kong's apathetic youth, wiki’s subheadings highlight the "urine inspection" scandal, libel accusations, his "inadequate English" – and nothing more.

Not to point an accusatory finger, but it is rather curious to see Ulie's blog quoted as a source on said wikipedia page. Contributing to Gary's digital demise, Ulie points to a mistranslation from Chinese into English in the run up to the 2008 election.

I feel a modicum of pity for the Young DAB Star - not only is he Hong Kong's Baby of the House, but he also prematurely terminated a circa. HK$1,000,000 "special advisory" contract with the world's best paid civil servants to assume this position in Legco. While Gary is out fighting injustice, many Hong Kong men of similar age are still fighting their own addictions to World of Warcraft.

I wouldn't mind sprucing up Gary’s public image as his own special advisor - but as they say in Wan Chai "if you want the breast, you got to pay."

If I were to name a suspect behind this desperate act of wiki-vandlism, I might suggest ex-blogger Hemlock. A sort of online Banksy, Hemlock oft boasted about his various "improvements" to Nury Vittachi’s page - sadly not many seem to have survived!

It's rather ironic that the Wikipedia piece mentioning Chan's poor English is itself full of grammatical errors, such as "in particularly".

P.S. Only kidding about Newcastle!

On that site of a thousand hyperlinks, which one links to Ulaca? Or have I been edited into the ether?

PB - That rules Ulie out then!

Ules - Rather mysteriously, your citation has disappeared since I published this post... looks like the Wiki-pixies are at work!
