Second guy started up his own article too, and promptly edited a bunch of other popular ones to push his book (and kept misspelling "culture" and "references"), which have since been reverted. He now seems to have caught on to editing anonymously from behind a bare IP address, but the comments on his article's discussion page and in the history will haunt him for life. Or at least until some editor decides to delete him for non-notability.
Whichever one of them shares your name, my condolences.
