Wikipedia - English language confusing me ^^

I just browsed through some wikipedia articles when I stumpled over the following sentence in an article about the voice actor Kali Troy

She was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada when she studied journalism at Clark Atlanta University.At first I thought I could have read something wrong. But when I read it twice it was the same. Reading it again ( Read more... )

quotes, wikipedia

No, you're reading it right. It does indeed say she studied journalism when she was born.

I would imagine that they meant to say "where she studied" instead of "when she studied" but that can't be true either. Clark Atlanta is in Atlanta, Georgia in the USA.

Ok, then this has to be a mistake and I'll try to correct it (or Kali Troy is some strange sort of genius like Alia in the Dune novels ^^)

Thanks!

That's the problem with Wikipedia- some of their facts are flat-out wrong. It's the price we pay for a complete access to the updating of articles.

Besides that...I wish people would proofread. Makes life so much nicer for the rest of us. :)
