I typed my brother's name into the google address line, and it took me immediately to a biographical article at Wikipedia. Interesting. First line is wrong. They say he is Allen Wilford Brimley. Allen he was never. I wonder if someone guessed at what the A stands for.
I have tried to contact them, once last night, once today. You know, it says down at the bottom Contact Us. Last night I sent an email with a correction. Silly me.
Blah, blah and many minutes later, I have decided to give it up. But in this process I learned what I already suspected. No editing. I didn't just figure this; they say it.
I think you know what that means.

The internet movies database site http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000979/bio
has the same error in his biography, although later, under the trivia section, they mention that when he was much younger he acted under the name Anthony (Tony) Brimley. Interesting.
It's the kind of thing that just bugs me. A lot. Not sure why, really. But an error like that. Not okay.
My son has edited the Wikipedia site and corrected the name error. Yay!
