I'm a member of Wikipedia and it is in fact possible to delete an article
and start from scratch without telling anyone. If members could send me the
article / items that are wrong I could easily change the article

  Norm,



  The article on Verne in Wikipedia continues to bother me, as it contains
at least 10 clear mistakes and more than a dozen unprovable and debatable
claims, and shows cultural bias. Is there any Wikipedia procedure to allow
changes that go beyond mere editing, do you know? Could one just delete the
existing entry and insert a new one from scratch without appealing to the
managers? Which managers would one write to to enquire about such matters?

  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?
