Ladies and gentlemen, why has Mr Victor Marks acquired the nickname 'skid'? Various ideas have been expressed on this page. Was it his erratic style of motoring? Was it, perhaps, his athletic efforts in the outfield in 1982? (Those of us who were fortunate to see Victor play could not doubt his whole-hearted approach to fielding.) Both thoughts have, alas, been censored by the Wiki-Gestapo, who naturally bow down before the Great God, verification. But let me ask this: how can the derivation of a nickname ever be verified? Do you have a nickname? How did you get it? Can you PROVE that? Of course not. It's unverifible but that does not make it untrue or even (to use a Wiki-word) unencylclopedic ... and there is the Wiki-rub. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 18:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong. It can be verified. Have you thought that it might crop up in an interview? It cannot be proven, but wikipedia is interested in verifiability. Without sources this website has no value, no grounding in fact, and would be unreliable. According to TMS it's because of his skiddy bowling. Please do not use a hyperbole like wiki-Gestapo it brings everyone, including yourself, into disrepute. That is the "wiki-rub".
