Tristin Hopper (3 April 2017). "The navy asks that you get your sailor-kissing facts straight: Highlights from government Wikipedia edits". National Post. Retrieved 3 April 2017. On the afternoon of Sept. 25, 2016, someone within the Canadian defence establishment embarked on a lengthy and nonsensical vandalization of comedian Norm Macdonald's Wikipedia page. They claimed he was "Somalian," that he had died the month before, and then inserted this particularly unhinged passage, "he voiced many cartoon characters in commercials including that bumble bee from those tuna commercials and the worm from Sesame Street." Later, to be sure, the editor then substituted "Sesame Street" with "that other show."
Please use this capitalization: Macdonald (lowercase "d")
The capitalization of Norm Macdonald's surname has been inconsistently reported in publications such as TVGuide, but books discussing Norm such as Shales (2003) and Crawford (2000) and his current business interests, the Game Show Network[1], Comedy Central[2]Sports Show with Norm Macdonald[3] and his comedy CD [4] all consistently use Macdonald (lowercase "d"). See the discussion and archives.

Norms (in)famous performance in Iowa where about 80% of the audience walked out and he got kicked from a golf tournament with the Governor seems to be entirely missing. There's plenty of recent and contemporary news coverage, including this exhaustive write-up in the Iowa Gazette and interviews with Jim Breuer & Tom Segura retelling the events.
