[edit] Just as planned

I thought a set of little silly comments like this IP banned. A professor is planning on demonstrating why wikipedia is a bad source by allowing anyone to edit it. So when he goes to edit an article tomorrow it won't let him. Also it's just "Cape Breton University" now. Thanks for the block.
