Brian Ellerbe's Wikipedia page

Submitted by Anonymosity on
Brian Ellerbe's Wikipedia page is classic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Ellerbe I'm pretty sure it was written by... Brian Ellerbe. I think he copied and pasted his resume. Highlights include: "Very early Coach Littlepage realized Brian had a keen understanding of the game of basketball, accompanied by a great knack for communicating along with an interest in the business of collegiate athletics, groomed during his playing days as a standout floor general as well as various community, business, and internship experiences." "Following a 17 year successful coaching career..." (not saying he wasn't successful as a whole, but one would think Michigan won the national championship every year during his tenure the way this thing is written) "Over a combined 22 year professional career, Brian H. Ellerbe has proven himself as a high-quality executive, talented organizer and development professional with talents and fundamentals that have crossed several industries and geographic regions, successfully"

It seems the user "Mresquire1216" has been de-wiki-fying the article and adding all those personal details. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_Ellerbe&diff=277773818&… http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brian_Ellerbe&action=history I would guess it's either Ellerbe or someone very close to him. That's the only page edited under that handle. The IP address seems to have come from California.

This is hilariously un-encyclopedic. I enjoy the heart-rending account of his elementary-school years. I also like that the "great success" he enjoyed at Rutgers included . . . an NIT selection!
