The guitarist for the band Bad Religion said he never auditioned for Guns N Roses...
I've been emailing the Wikipedia people repeatedly. Do you know how difficult it is to edit yourself on that site? It's awful let me tell you.

Well, someone removed it today, after seeing that interview.

It was in the article from November 2006 until today. More than SIX YEARS. Nice.

Also note that someone used to claim he was dead.

Perhaps the crowds will soon learn that the only way to get their articles fixed is to complain about it here on Wikipediocracy (or perhaps name themselves on the "obvious paid editors" thread, since nobody ever blocks those because that would be "feeding the Wikipediocracy trolls"). :shrug:
