More Wikipedia Edits Revealed

Found by none other than Something Awful:

Singer Geddy Lee painstakingly edited the entry for his band Rush, modifying over seven hundred references to his unusually high voice. A typical edit changed the text “Lee is known for his unusually high voice” to “Some people say Geddy Lee has an unusually high voice, but scientifically, if you look at it with waves and spectrums and stuff, his voice is really pretty average and not especially high, it’s much more of an average male masculine voice. Lots of people are jealous of his voice because it has good tone, and those people try to deride Geddy Lee by saying his voice is really high, but actually it’s a pretty normal voice, and he’s not sensitive about his voice but he often has to correct people when they say it’s high, because it’s not, and anybody who has heard his speaking voice will tell you that it’s pretty normal, not too high, not too low.”

I wonder how Geddy changed the entry that said “Rush continues to be a big draw with Brazilians, Canadians, and dudes named Brett, despite the fact that Lee sings like Alvin the chipmunk on helium and trucker speed and is totally freaky looking”
