Yet how can we hate Wikipedia when it contains such gems as this? I was Googling "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and went for the Wikipedia entry because it always does good film summaries. Then I noticed this

at the end.

It is part of the charm of the whole thing, isn't it.

At least he didn't say that his own lead performance was notable.

And within reason, yes it is, but now the robots will swarm, squeezing whatever character they might find out of articles.

Give him enough cording and he'll hang himself.

Typical American bias. Tivoli Theatre points to an article about some American place with a link to the disambiguation page as if all the other Tivoli Theatres were trivial sideshows - and there is no article at all about the Tivoli Theatre.
