How many people do you know who have a Wiki entry?

[KamaAina]

I can count at least four.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. One member of my immediate family.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that out, as it helps to validate his life's work.

I know a couple of politicians personally from my campaign work days who have their own entry, naturally.

And I found out a former classmate of mine has her entry, for reasons not quite clear to me. She inherited and runs a real estate company that I had never heard about before. Why that's notable, I'm not sure. But apparently her grandfather was a PGA golfer.

2. Probably a couple of dozen at least.

[Chan790]

3. Zero, that I know of.

I know about 50 people with IMDB entries though, including myself.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. I know two people with IMDB entries.

One had a small role in an independent movie, and another actually wrote and directed an independent short as a project for film school that is listed on IMDB.

5. Why don't I have one, dammit??

I was in this:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129957/

[Chan790]

7. It appears the producer never submitted cast and crew credits.

None are listed on the page anyways. That's why you don't have an IMDB entry.

Depending on what it was you did and whether it was a union shoot, you might want to harass the producer about that...you may be due credit and hours towards a guild card. Extras are generally not credited and are not considered cast. If you were appearing as a named character (or as this was a documentary, yourself) in a speaking part, you're due a credit.

8. Hardly a union shoot.

It took place in a church across from the filmmaker's house in Connecticut. It was a doco in which I appeared as myself.

[Chan790]

9. Still...

if he submits cast and crew credits to IMDB, you'd get a entry. I mean it's not someone's home movie...it got shown on HBO. It's a legitimate film project.

You're right that it's almost certainly not a union shoot so you're not making progress towards a guild card...but still. It's something to break out with a cheesy smile on a first date.

[KamaAina]

10. A first date?

You don't know me very well, do you?

[KamaAina]

11. Turns out the filmmaker has a Wiki

so I'm up to five.

[olddots]

6. do you mean biblically ?

can't we all create a Wiki entry for ourselves if people have told us to go fuck ourselves ?

[Major Nikon]

12. Everyone here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_underground

[KamaAina]

18. You know all 200,000 or so DUers?

As my Scotish grandfather would have said, "I hae me doobts."

[Major Nikon]

20. I know they have a wiki entry

[Xyzse]

13. How close do I have to be?

I mean, what is the definition of "you know"?

Does it mean:

Family
Friends
Acquaintances
Co-Workers
People that know your name, and you know theirs
People that you nod to and they nod back
People you shook hands with

What is the level of "you know"?

[KamaAina]

14. Let's say the first four.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

21. Former overnight boyfriends?

[harmonicon]

15. I don't know... quite a few, I'd guess.

I'm a musician, so most of the people I know are musicians, and even many non-famous ones (I make weird, non-commercial music) have wikipedia entries.

[csziggy]

16. Do they have to still be alive? If not, I know one

My great uncle, Tommy Hughitt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Hughitt

While I met Spessard Holland a few times (FL Gov. & Senator - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spessard_Holland), I didn't really know him.

[fizzgig]

17. one for sure

and my husband is mentioned in that entry

[Still Blue in PDX]

19. I only know one.

My semi-son-in-law's brother.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Richardson_%28publisher%29

At my granddaughter's birthday party when I first met him, it was really hard to refrain from asking what Bruce Campbell is really like.

[OxQQme]

22. My son

plus if you google "Chet Lyster", he is on 38 pages found.

[Locut0s]

23. None. My uncle is mentioned in an article but doesn't have his own entry...

He's the primary developer of the Geography Markup Language (GML), a W3C standard.

[whistler162]

24. One at least sort of.

The current mayor of Syracuse NY. I worked for her husband who is in her entry. Doing work at their home a couple of times. Does passing Dan Maffei as he was going into the Men's room at my former job count?
