An interesting find about Rob

I read an interesting thing today on Wikipedia, when I wanted to see what's on Wikipedia about Rob Hubbard:

Rob Hubbard (born 1956, Kingston upon Hull, England), son of L Ron Hubbard...

Is that true L. Ron Hubbard founder of the Church of Scientology is the father of Rob Hubbard or is it a clerical error?

Hi!

Was the same reaction here, but as far as i'm concerned I didn't joke.

see this:

No, you didn't joke, but the Wiki author did.

If you do a diff then you'll see that the "son of L Ron Hubbard" part has been added 3 days ago. I just changed it back.

In the article about L. Ron Hubbard it doesn't say anything about a son called Rob, only a Ronald DeWolf (Lafayette Ron Hubbard, Jr. AKA Nibs Hubbard) and a Quentin Hubbard.

The user who wrote this seems to be famous for his Wiki vandalism already:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:202.164.195.56 (scroll to bottom)
Among other stuff, he has already changed the Wiki about rapper and actress Queen Latifah in a destructive way and has been blocked from editing Wikipedia several times.

The only thing I wonder about is how to report vandalism to Wikipedia. I've never done this and cannot find anything about it. Any idea anyone?

Thanks Omoroca!

Now I see Rob's article was fixed so it's ok.

I can't understand this kind of destructive persons....
