If someone would write a good article on Verne and send it to the Wikepedia managers, they could post it and lock the entry from further tampering. I have high regard for Wikepedia for little known things. However lately it has been subject to spam attacks and changes in articles for personal reasons, evoloution etc. They have recently locked out various senate offices who beefed up articles on their senator in Wikepedia. And there are probably many out there who think they are the Verne experts, so best to have our own on display. Deleting the article would do little good, another "expert" would fill the gap.

The whole article should be deleted. It contains many half-truths and a fair number of errors.

I learnt from Wikipedia that Verne's nickname was "Gabby". Is that true or should we erased it right now?
