Wikipedia Weirdness  
 I have a problem with names -- I forget them completely, even those of my family. So I went to Wikipedia for a quick check on Ianto's nephew's name. Check this out:

Within the series' narrative, Ianto Jones is the "Sex God" for Torchwood Three team of alien hunters, the Cardiff branch of the fictional Torchwood Institute. His job primarily sees him function as the team's administrator, often charged with covering up their covert activities, although he can also capably accompany the team on field missions. In addition to his professional role in the series, Ianto is notable in later episodes as the main romantic interest of the series' Keanna Casey.

Who the heck is Keanna Casey????

Children, this is why librarians always tell you to watch out for Wikipedia's accuracy!

My guess - judging from the "sex god" line ... the very bored human who hijacked the entry.

This is a really good example of why Wikipedia is changing its editorial policy.

FYI - Ianto's nephew is David Davies (very mean)

Unfortunately that change in policy only applies to "living people" so fannish people still have to put up with stupidity....OMG I can only imagine what would happen if the Gwackers tried to edit the pages *sudders* (Gwackers seem to be a wee bit nuts in my opinion)

I figured that out but at first it was... strange. Even though I'm one of those librarians who constantly reminds students not to for god's sake trust Wikipedia blindly.

I found the name in the CoE entry...
