Hehe don't worry about it, it was just to point out that I also write garbage too (especially several years ago when I was just trying to get as much info uploaded and not so concerned about quality). When I started that article it is mostly to get the info uploaded so then later I could sort it out. You'll notice there are a bunch of articles like that (See Bondarevsky...the tenses are all wrong and the flow makes me want to be sick), looks like finally we are getting around to fixing them.

I think the preferences might of have reset when Kris updated the MediaWiki? You actually control your own timestamps. http://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Special:Preferences That link allows you to edit your own time-zone/etc. I'm not sure if that then reflects on all time stamps or just your own. Test it out a bit and let me know. --Dundradal
