lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([kpop] goddess material)

someone lives to torture me clearly

Okay, apparently someone's going around editing multiple kpop wikipedia articles, because 9Muses' page no longer has the little Hangul/real name/DOB chart either! And neither does Shinee's!

miss A's, Crayon Pop's, and f(x)'s are still there (and I've always loved that f(x)'s has the little flags for each of the ladies' country of origin) and while BEG's doesn't have the dobs, I don't think it has for a while?

Anyway, I am going to be watching my faves' pages closely. I might need to make myself a spreadsheet because this is just obnoxious. How am I supposed to know whether my characters need to call the other characters hyung/oppa/noona/unnie or not????? (I almost had Minha calling Hoya oppa before I looked it up and was reminded that SHE'S 91 LINE TOO AND THEY'RE CHINGUS.)((I think the only reason Key hasn't made her part of his posse is because she intimidates him with her perfection. HE'S JUST JEALOUS.))(((Also on the profile I found, Sera's still listed as leader and it made me want to cry. All my 9Muses feels.)))

To make this post not a total waste of space, I invite anyone who enjoys watching gorgeous ladies be badass to watch this teaser. BEST EVER.



I AM SO DELIGHTED.

Hmmm.. I noticed the one for INFINITE and I was pretty upset too... I have an account already with Wiki, so when I get home from work already, I can edit the pages back to normal. No worries!! Keep me updated with whatever else you find that has changed and I can view the previous sources to change it back.

That's right! That is one excellent tumblr! Whoever runs it deserves a medal.

*kisses* Thank you!

Also yes, Key is CLEARLY way too intimidated by the flawfree perfection that is our overlord Park Minha and how her fancam eyecontact-game is so much more stronger than his NOPE UNACCEPTABLE!

I bet he'd send Nana to her house to scout her out and her and Nana end up drinking colourful homemade cocktails and paint eachothers toenails all badly and it all gets smeared anyway when they decide to have sex.

Someone on tumblr the other day said that Key is intimidated by Jessica because she's actually a completely careless bitch and he just wants to be, and it struck me as so true. And Minha seems carelessly fierce, too. HOW?

You and your Minha/Nana shipping! I loves it!

[identity profile] indiesnopp.livejournal.com 2013-10-11 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
careless bitches are the bane of Key's existence, because it reminds him that he has to WORK.

I mean, 12-year old Sulli and Krystal got a whole diary of complaints dedicated to them for making Key's trainee life difficult (god bless the little brats)

ALL THOSE LEGS LAUREN! THE LEGS AND THE LONG SILKY HAIR AND THEIR FLAWLESS EVERYTHING!

Right? He works damn hard too.

I mean, 12-year old Sulli and Krystal got a whole diary of complaints dedicated to them for making Key's trainee life difficult (god bless the little brats)

I am both horrified at the thought of 12-year-olds in SM's clutches and absolutely loving the idea of bratty f(x) maknae line torturing Key. GO GIRLS.

I UNDERSTAND! MOST AESTHETICALLY PLEASING IN THE WORLD!

SME TRIED TO SIGN KRYSTAL WHEN SHE WAS 4-YEARS OLD! FOUR! but her parents refused and offered that Jessica could audition instead and they wait for Krystal.

(Key and Jessica's 'Barbie Girl' cover will always be a classic) Yeah, when they asked Key why he chose Krystal for 'My first kiss' he said, "I need someone who can convincingly act cold and push me away" so the Jungs are clearly flawless in their ice princess to be respected.

At least their parents had SOME brains. Gah.

(Key and Jessica's 'Barbie Girl' cover will always be a classic)

Nothing could be more perfect. Sometimes the world provides exactly what should be.

I love their ice princess-ness.

I was curious, so I had a look around and the Swedish SHINee page still has the table.

As for the English page, the View History tab tells us that this version from September 22 has it. The next version, where the info is removed seems to have been edited by a Dr. K., though that's actually just reverting to an older version (I guess someone tried to bring back the info in the first link), and I don't know who made the original revision. If you go back a few pages I'm sure you could find it.


The Infinite page seems to have been edited by someone different, a Drmies for lack of reliable sources (but the person seems really derisive, writing some trimming of trivial fan info--lacking reliable sources, of course.). People have been trying to undo the changes, especially the table you're missing, but to no avail - they're just removed again immediately. Like seriously, this version, which has added the table back, was revised back to no table within A MINUTE.

Anyway, I think that in order to get the info returned to the page, it'd have to be accurately sourced so that the Wiki regular editors can't remove it. Personally, I'd just grab the info and paste it into Evernote for myself, because these kinds of things can turn into real power struggles at Wikipedia and who wants to get involved in something like that?

(Oh, and by the way, this revision to the 9Muses page to bring back the table was revised back two minutes later. This time by Dr. K. I guess he's just not as dedicated to his job as Drmies. Heh.)

Someone has too much time on their hands! The idea of dobs and birth names being trivial info kind of blows my mind, but yeah, it looks like someone just needs to link to a source to stop them from getting edited.

Thanks for looking into it! I'll make myself a document with all of these things.

More like procrastinating because I didn't want to work. Which meant I had to work late instead. On a Friday. Great planning, right?

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2013-10-11 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no! I didn't mean you! I meant the people who are around to edit the pages one minute after other people edit them! I didn't mean you at all!

Haha, well as you can see it applied to me as well!

I think I got over-invested in the whole thing because I knew I had a manual to put together and ugh, so boring! Also, I love looking stuff like that up, Wikipedia could probably be studied much like fandom is studied. That place is full of crazy over-invested people.

I am the queen of using the internet to procrastinate, so I get you.

I would love to read some studies about wikipedia. I bet it would be absolutely fascinating.

I love this teaser. They are all so beautiful and bad ass and yes I think Key is afraid/jealous of Minha because she's so elegant and poised. *loves Minha best naturally*

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2013-10-11 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
They're just so gorgeous but also down to earth. I want to be bffs with all of them. And I love that you love Minha best!
