Lesson learned

By Jacquelyne Taurianen

You are going to call Ann Coulter, the conservative columnist, said Chuck Baldwin, and my heart dropped. He continued to inform other classmates that they were also going to call Sinbad, the comedian and Fuzzy Zoeller, the golf pro, to get their comments about the their Wikipedia page.

Unsuccessful celebrity interview

Trying to contact Sinbad
By Charles Pulliam

David “Sinbad” Adkins, an actor and stand-up comedian, was unavailable for comment June 7.

Adkins was one of the many examples of how Wikipedia anonymous publishers can defame others, according to a speech from John Seigenthaler.

Getting in contact with the 51-year-old Adkins was a difficult process.

He is a member of several celebrity agencies. I called two of them with dead ends.

I left a message with a request for an interview with one of Adkins' helpers. It wasn't even his assistant, though.

  • Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)

  • A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.

  • Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.

  • A Tennessee high school, whose mascot is the Indians, takes the Native American motif one step further: It calls school grounds "The Reservation."

  • The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
