According to his blog he was the business editor, not Charlemange.

Read the introductory entry on his blog: he was also Charlemagne. RCSB 12:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here is where he claims this (read interest number 2 - Europe). RCSB 12:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right! I thought I'd actually add your reference to his opening statement on his blog as a footnote and see where this goes :) Take a peek here [[1]] tho, maybe he forgot or - what's more likely - he's actually testing when and how fast the rabbit will pop out of the hat...

I think you misunderstood Gideon: He wrote his blog post before I corrected the entry. The original entry claimed that his last job at The Economist was Charlemagne. He meant to say that although he was indeed Charlemagne - this wasn't his last position at The Economist. But I am guessing you read his blog post after I had already corrected it (adding that he was also business editor - his last job). Therefore, you mistakenly surmised that he was referring to the corrected version as being incorrect. RCSB 14:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
