Aha! I just noticed that at the bottom of the window that listed my birthplace as "Yorkton, Canada" there was a little button marked "Feedback", which enabled me to correct the error (and gave me information about the source of the misinformation: it's the folks at Google Search). I gave them two pieces of feedback. The first (ill-considered) message corrected the error and gave the correct city of my birth. The second said "On second thought, I'd rather you didn't give out this information." The folks at Google Search may not be evil (hey, it's against their corporate policy!), but I have less faith in the billions of people who use Google. My question about correcting mistakes in Wikipedia bios stands. Jim Propp On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 9:24 AM, James Propp <jamespropp@gmail.com> wrote:
This is slightly off-topic, but I know some of you have experience correcting Wikipedia (or trying to!), so this forum seems like the best place to ask:
How do I fix mistakes at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Propp?
Also, I'm puzzled why entering "jim propp" into Safari on my iPhone brings up a page that says I was born in Yorkton, Canada. This (incorrect) information isn't on my home page or in the Jim Propp Wiki, so where is Safari getting it from? My father (who sometimes googles me from his laptop) brought the problem to my attention.
Thanks,
