um ha ha ha?The difficulty of the manufacture of a large cylinder with a tightly fitting piston was solved by John Wilkinson who had developed precision boring techniques for cannon making at Bersham, near Wrexham, North Wales.
So while wikipedia'ing(not a word, I know) some important people in the industrial revolution(essay for my final in western civilizations course), I found a funny little entry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Watt
Read the last line under the section led "steam"
Anybody have some other things that managed to get past wikipedia's supposedly "tougher" editing system?

Damn, they were fast to edit...it said "Adam has a huge ing " or something along those lines..
It was up for a good few minutes
I edited it, James Watt deserves better than petty vandalism. Adam's huge ing has no place with the Industrial Revolution.
ahhh i wanted to read it
