Talk:Toby Regbo

Original family surname

The interview transcript I have linked says that the original family surname was HansOn, but it seems to me that there is a 99.99% chance it was HansEn, because that is the most common surname in Norway, while HansOn is not a Norwegian name. A very easy error for an English speaker to make. 217.137.151.41 (talk) 05:18, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

You remind me why I gave up on Wikipedia after making over a quarter of a million edits in seven years. I know all about the misguided policies which have prevented wikipedia from achieving a consistent high standard. In fact, there is still quite a bit of text on the policy pages that I wrote myself. One of the underlying themes of these self-harming policies is a preference for the appearance of accuracy over actual accuracy. I have been thinking about these issues for years, and I still refuse to believe that it is improper to correct a mistake in a so called "reliable source" that is nothing more than a sloppily edited pop culture site. I said back in 2004 that the failure to place accuracy at the core of wikipedia's policies would damage the project, and every year since it has become more apparent that I was right.

If I hadn't said anything on this page, it is unlikely that anyone would have noticed that I changed one letter form the source I used, but as I like things to be right, I added a comment here in the hope that someone who knows Toby Regbo's family might see it and confirm which spelling is correct. Of course if that had happened, it would have been another breach of a misguided policy. I regret slipping into the mistake of making a few edits again, and will now put the site on block for a month to protect myself from the temptation of making the same mistake again. Wikipedia could have been great, but it isn't, and never will be, and attitudes like yours are the reason for that. 217.137.151.41 (talk) 20:42, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
