Please stop introducing jokes into articles, such as those you created at Brain-computer interface. Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia, and contributions of this type are considered vandalism. Continuing to add jokes and other disruptive content into articles may lead to you being blocked from editing. . From the edit history, it looks like this account may only be being used for non-constructive edits. Sad you feel the need to vandalise wikipedia in this way.Saganaki- 02:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My entry was not a hoax. I apologize for the fact it comes across that way, but it is totally serious.AllenFerguson- 13:07, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well perhaps the way to look at this is that if you want to add material to articles with a medical focus using the website of a comedian as a source is probably not the way to go. The material was funny by the way - didn't you appreciate the humour too? Are you Dan Allen by the way? I saw that you uploaded a picture of him.Saganaki- 07:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
