On 25 June 2009 the article [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven Ludwig van Beethoven] reads "At Pressburg he performed on a piano specifically sent from Vienna by his friend Johann Andreas Streicher, a Viennese piano builder whose instruments produced a singing tone Beethoven liked."

A naughty account called ''Paulatim'' changes this to "At Pressburg he performed on a piano specifically sent from Vienna by his friend Johann Andreas Streicher, an '''American''' piano builder whose instruments produced a singing tone Beethoven liked." [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludwig_van_Beethoven&diff=298607170&oldid=298606933 (18:54, 25 June 2009)].  This is odd, given that Streicher was sending the piano from Vienna but, well.  This is not spotted for days, at which point a very silly IP changes 'American piano builder' to ''gay'' piano builder'.  [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludwig_van_Beethoven&diff=298889689&oldid=298649742 05:56, 27 June 2009]. This is reverted back to 'American' within the traditional 6 minutes by the aptly named 'bong warrior' [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludwig_van_Beethoven&diff=298890235&oldid=298889689 (06:01, 27 June 2009)], who fails to notice the error.

Soon after, the IP (who has clearly been playing a bit of a game) changes 'American' back to the original 'Austrian' [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludwig_van_Beethoven&diff=298890739&oldid=298890235 (06:06, 27 June 2009)].  But behold, this farrago has attracted attention from editor 'Work permit', who now changes 'Austrian' to 'German', and the name 'Streicher' to 'Stein', clearly confusing the German father of Nanette Stein (who does have an article about himself in Wikipedia), who married Johann Andreas Streicher, with Streicher himself (who does not), a close friend of Beethoven from whom Beethoven purchased several instruments, as the original article correctly said, and as anyone can check [http://www.sauter-pianos.de/english/sauter/history.html here].

Changed to 'Austrian'.  [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludwig_van_Beethoven&diff=298916232&oldid=298900037 (10:32, 27 June 2009)]

Cheeky Paulatim leaves a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Work_permit&diff=prev&oldid=298940125 message] on WorkPermit's page to remind him about this.  WP then [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ludwig_van_Beethoven&diff=298971188&oldid=298950125 adds a reference] showing that Stein was indeed German.  (This is correct, Stein was German, but his eponymous son-in-law, the one whose pianos had a singing tone, was of course Austrian).
