And here is an example of dynamic updating in action:

2010s[edit]

From July through August 2014, Allen filmed the mystery drama Irrational Man in NewportRhode Island, with Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone,Parker Posey and Jamie Blackley.[100] Allen has said that this film, as well as the next three he has planned, have the financing and full support ofSony Pictures Classics.[101] Allen's next film, Café Society, starred an ensemble cast, including Jesse EisenbergKristen Stewart, and Blake Lively.[102] Bruce Willis was set to co-star, but was replaced by Steve Carell during filming.[103] The film is distributed by Amazon Studios, and opened the 2016 Cannes Film Festival on May 11, 2016, marking the third time Allen has opened the festival.[104]
On January 14, 2015, it was announced Allen will write and direct a TV series of half-hour episodes for Amazon Studios, marking the first time he has developed a television show. It will be available exclusively on Amazon Prime Instant Video, and Amazon Studios has already ordered a full season. Allen said of the series, "I don't know how I got into this. I have no ideas and I'm not sure where to begin. My guess is that Roy Price [the head of Amazon Studios] will regret this."[105][106][107] At the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, Allen said, in reference to his upcoming Amazon show, "It was a catastrophic mistake. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm floundering. I expect this to be a cosmic embarrassment."[108]
Amazon Video debuted Allen's first television series production on September 30, 2016. The series is a comedy which takes place during the 1960s. It focuses on the life of a suburban family after a surprise visitor creates chaos among them. Titled Crisis in Six Scenes, it stars Allen alongside Elaine May and Miley Cyrus. Cyrus plays the part of a radical hippie fugitive who sells marijuana.[109][110]

What Wikipedia admins do

Notice that all this frantic activity, which involved two of Wikipedia's 530 thought police in just one week, was devoted to making sure that accurate information would NOT be available on Wikipedia. Speaking as the subject matter, what a total freaking waste of time and effort!
