(Rose Law Group Reporter Editor comment: “Henderson is a hero.”)
You know that feeling when you see something wrong on the Internet? One man has corrected the same error in Wikipedia almost 47,000 times since 2006 – and each time he did it manually.
Giraffedata, aka Bryan Henderson, a 51-year-old software engineer from San Jose, California, doesn’t add content to Wikipedia or correct factual errors. He does one thing: He corrects the phrase “comprised of.”
As he writes in this Wikipedia article about his editing quest, Henderson replaces that clumsy phrase with something more suitable, such as “composed of.”
