Such is my omniscience as a supernatural cyclops that I had great pleasure observing Condé Nast's Managing Director Nicholas Coleridge spend an hour-and-a-quarter of company time on Wikipedia this morning, enhancing his own entry. Amendments included removing the fact that his father ran Lloyds of London during its most troubled period, but inserting the names of all of his children!
That's one of the reasons why I adore the world's worst novelist. Despite the vast salary, the acclaim, the sycophancy of his underlings and of young journalists on the broadsheets desperately seeking his career good offices, the big house in the country with its new swimming pool (I have the dimensions), despite all this, he still cares that much about what people think of him.
Do read his self-authored hagiography and marvel at a grinning ego. Click here

It wasn't him, silly. It was someone who registered under his name to obscure their ip address.
No, he was observed. Is that you Nicky writing here? I know you read Arcati via your Google searches of yourself. Behave and do some work, you scamp.
No, I'm not he. I am amazed at his rather sweet innocence, in that case, as he DID register as himself.
He is also London's most boring man. House prices drop when he moves to an area as people start dying of yawns.
Love the way his penultimate edit is to correct his wife's name - probably didn't notice that one until he checked his own "improvements" with her...
how the fuck did it take an hour and a half? surely you're not deducing that from the wikipedia log. whether you claim he was observed or not, i reckon you think you worked this out from looking at the page and are now simply not going to back down, unless of course he demands it himself like j snow
But this is very bad - just clicked on the Wikipedia entry - even Wikipedia are complaining about it and have posted an alert! Dirty tricks from the head of Condy Nasty!
