message: I have been attempting to verify the history section with reliable sources and have come up blank. There is one Time article cited, but that's just a couple of sentences without any sources, and does not seem particularly trustworthy. There are a few sites online claiming similar information, but they all seem to cite this Wikipedia article. It may all be an urban legend. It is reproduced here:
We can add it in if we can find any reputable sources, but this has been marked with  for 6 years. —METS501 (talk) 19:59, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Just saw this on the talk page after I partially reverted your edit specifically because of the Time article. I figured they should qualify as a valid source, although I did only restore the content that was specifically mentioned in Time. I barely edit anything on this site anymore though, so if you think it's better just to get rid of it, then go for it. I only found my way here from a TIL on Reddit.

replies: text: Hi DB. I just reverted your edit again. I have serious doubts as to the accuracy of this story. It was in the Time article only after it was added to Wikipedia, uncited, and the Time article was just a fun "top 100" thing. I think it's highly likely that the time article got the information from Wikipedia. —METS501 (talk) 02:03, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
