Wikipedia thought that Chris was actually a troll, trying to slander his own name, apparently Chris can't even create a page about himself without portraying himself as a pathetic waste of space.

{{Quote|I ONLY WISH TO TELL [[Honest Content|THE TRUTH]] AND SPREAD IT ON THE [[Chris and the Internet|INTERNET]].|Chris}}
On 1 [[May 2009]], for reasons that only [[GodJesus]] knows, [[Christian Weston Chandler]] registered on '''{{w|Wikipedia}}''' as [[Chris-chan Sonichu|ChrisChanSonichu]]. He did this almost solely to create a user page that is to record one of the most in-depth autobiographical accounts of his life.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ChrisChanSonichu User talk:ChrisChanSonichu], Wikipedia</ref>


A user page is not a proper article, and therefore not subject to the same strict guidelines as an article, but as biographical and personal an article as Chris's was a flagrant violation of Wikipedia policy. The Wikipedia community tends to frown on the use of the user pages as web space;<ref>{{w|Wikipedia:User pages#Excessive unrelated content}}</ref> the user pages should usually be reserved for purposes somehow related to the Wikipedia project, and user pages for users who don't contribute anything to the articles frequently get deleted. Chris, of course, made it abundantly clear that he's not interested in actually editing the project.


<font size="6">User:ChrisChanSonichu</font>
Chris's user page was deleted by a Wikipedia administrator, who believed it to be the work of a [[troll]]. Sadly, the [[Chris's Wikipedia profile|details]] shows that this was the real deal.

The only other thing Chris did was add his name to the article on high-functioning [[autism]], under the list of "famous individuals that may have had many different variations of autism along with HFA."<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&tagfilter=&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=ChrisChanSonichu&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=&month=-1 User contributions for ChrisChanSonichu], Wikipedia</ref><ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High-functioning_autism&diff=prev&oldid=287579250 High-functioning autism], Wikipedia</ref> The kicker is that [[Chris and his ego|he put himself right next to]] {{w|Michelangelo}}.

=='''Christian Weston Chandler'''==
To date, the "Christian Weston Chandler" article on Wikipedia has been created by trolls four times and deleted each time: 15 [[February 2009|February]], 26 [[March 2009|March]], 28 [[April 2009|April]] and 3 [[May 2009]].<ref>{{w|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian Weston Chandler}}</ref> It has consequently been "{{w|Wikipedia:Protection policy#Creation protection (salting)|salted}}" or protected so that it cannot be re-created under that title. Chris's account was also blocked indefinitely for violating many rules. The page on [[Ruckersville, VA|Ruckersville, Virginia]] is also locked to non-autoconfirmed users to prevent people from adding mentions of Chris.


To this day, discussions still regularly appear on Wikipedia debating over whether Chris is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia, with users ranging from weens to fans, to even normal Wikipedians. So far, no such page has been created on English-language Wikipedia. Furthermore, pages discussing things that Chris would logically be relevant to, such as {{w|Kiwi Farms|their article for}} [[Kiwi Farms]] (itself the successor to [[CWCki Forums]], which is named after this very Wiki and Chris by extension) and {{w|List of people claimed to be Jesus}} ([[Messiah complex|as Chris has done]]), go out of their way to not mention Chris by name. As of [[October 2020]], Chris remains upset over the lack of Wikipedia coverage on him and Sonichu.<ref name=placewikipedia>[[The Place chats (October 2020)#Interview Prep, Mad Over Wikipedia]]</ref>

<center>[[Image:CWC22c.jpg]]</center>
In a [[Captain's Log, Stardate May 3rd, 2009|video]] on 3 May, Chris makes a case for his worthiness and rallies his [[True and Honest]]  [[fans]] to restore his biography. He also posted the following on his Wikipedia discussion page:


'''Christopher Weston Chandler''' was born February 24, 1982, approximately 5:30 AM, at the Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia from mother, Barbara Anne Weston Chandler and father, Robert Franklin Chandler Jr. He was diagnosed with High-Functional Autism in his early childhood. As he grew up, he was mainstreamed within the normal classrooms of local schools and society, to possibly break out of his Autistic Shell.
{{quotebox|Dear Sir/Madam,


In his later years, he would aspire to earn good grades to make Honor Roll in Providence Middle and Manchester High Schools in Chesterfield County, Graduate with the Class of 2000 with a Diploma, and later get onto the Dean's List and earn an Associate's Degree and Certificate for Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) at Piedmont Virginia Community College.
LOOK, I do not have the appropriate [[Slow-in-the-minds|calm state of mind]] to make time to READ those numerous upon numerous small-print details, much less memorize them. I have had a LOT of SLANDEROUS TWISTS OF MY OWN WORDS done unto me in the past SOO MUCH, it is HARDEST for me to get a [[job]] in a place that does background checks, only to find that cursed [[ED|E.D]]. Page those EVIL [[trolls|TROLLS]] created against me at the TOP of the list.


And in his Adult Life, he has suffered the social stresses of being a healthy adult male virgin for years, and searching for a Boyfriend-Free Woman to make into a Sweetheart from being Friends First. It took him YEARS, but his prayers had finally been answered by a Lucky woman within these United States.
I started [[CWCipedia|my OWN Wikipedia]] page to hopefully counter that and better the people's General Understand of the Noble Gentleman I truly am. I SPENT HOURS, recalling MEMORY after MEMORY to type up the [[HONEST]]-TO-GOD TRUTH.


Also, he is the Internet Famous creator of the Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon, Sonichu and Rosechu.
I DO NOT CARE about the erroneous listings or false information listed on other pages; I ONLY WISH TO TELL THE TRUTH AND SPREAD IT ON THE INTERNET.


Plus, I have [[Vanessa Hudgens|Vanessa Anne Hudgens]] as an honest, very close [[Gal-Pal]], and you know very well how powerful she is as a STAR.


I have created [[Captain's_Log,_Stardate_May_3rd,_2009|a video on YouTube]] respectfully asking to leave my Wikipedia ALONE with MY HONEST TRUTH from MY OWN High-Functioning Autistic Head; my [[Fanbase|LOYAL FANBASE]] will be sending you letters.


=='''His Early Years - Birth to 1992'''==
UNDO YOUR DELETION, PLEASE.


My family and I resided in a quaint 2-Story House in Ruckersville, Virginia for most of my lifetime.
--Christian Weston Chandler (talk) 01:25, 4 [[May 2009]] (UTC) }}


I was quite a cute little baby; I was blonde, but I turned brown brunette. I said my very first word at 6 Weeks of age with "Monkey" (possibly trying to say "Mommy"). While being babysat by a woman in my neighborhood, whose last name was Roach, she was angry for some reason, so she locked me in a room, all by my lonesome, and it was then at 1 1/2 Years of age, I stopped talking. During the Silent Years, my mother and father had to cope with my screams, cries and whatnot to fully understand me, which they did, and I am proud of them for that. I also attended Speech Therapy sessions with classmate, Joshua Martinez, who was there due to his heavy Spanish Tongue that not too many people understood back then, at James Madison University. I started talking again at Age 7, and I well more than made up for lost time in chatter.
In short, Chris didn't give a shit about contributing to Wikipedia, only aiming to use it as a means to present what he thinks he is without needing to vandalize his Encyclopedia Dramatica page.


My next-door neighbor had a daughter my age, Sarah Nicole Hammer, and she and I were the best of friends. We would play hide and seek, swing on her swing set, hang around, talk, play by ourselves or with the other neighborhood children. She brought me a lot out of my autistic social shell for the time back then.
==Mainspace articles involving Chris==
[[File:Cwc on wikipedia.png|200px|thumb|left|Note that it calls us an "infamous" wiki.]]
On 13 [[August 2010]], a new article on Mr. Chandler was created under the name Christian W. Chandler. The article consisted of the following:


My father raised me on music and technology, as well as Sesame Street, Care Bears and Transformers Generation 1. But he was one of the first in line to invest and buy a [64] Computer System. He even programmed a simple game of ring-stacking on it. But he let me have it for my early Video Game Play with games including Pitfall, Q*Bert, Pole Position, and a fun Donald Duck game.
{{Quotebox|'''Christian Weston Chandler''' (born '''Christopher Weston Chandler''' on 24 February 1982) is an illustrator from Charlottesville, Virginia. He is known mainly as the creator of '''Sonichu''', a fan fiction comic based off the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Pokémon]] franchise. He was also featured in the May 2004 issue of [[Nintendo Power Magazine|Nintendo Power]] for his documentary, the April 2005 issue of Nintendo Power, and the community college newspaper for [[Piedmont Virginia Community College]].


My second Game System was the Nintendo Game Boy that I got for Christmas, 1989, with Tetris and Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles - Fall of the Foot Clan. I played Tetris a LOT.
Christian Weston Chandler's birth name was, in fact, '''Christopher'''. It took a chance encounter with [http://www.leonardbearstein.com/ Leonard Bearstein] in Regency Square Mall for his current name to be bestowed upon him. Aged 11 at the time, Chris and his father were in the mall for holiday shopping when Chris came across Leonard and engaged him in conversation. The man behind the microphone, mishearing the name "Christopher", addressed the young boy as Christian, a name that struck a chord within the young Chandler's heart. All it took was one legal name change for Christian to assume the identity he carries with him to this day. He acknowledges jokingly that it was as if God spoke through the bear to give him the name he always wanted.}}


Also in 1989, there was a Bear Band who played at Regency Square Shopping Mall in Chesterfield County for years. The man behind the Conductor, Leonard Bearstein, was English, because when I told him him through the Bear my name was Christopher, he misunderstood and started calling me Christian. That night, on the back
The article used Chris's two ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' appearances, as well as the [[Animal Crossing Documentary#PVCC.27s news report|writeup]] in the [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|PVCC]] ''Forum'' and the [[It took a talking bear to give the name a young boy loves]] article as references. Only a day later, this article was also nominated for deletion; it got deleted less than an hour-and-a-half later after the author requested it to be deleted.<ref>{{w|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian W. Chandler}}</ref> Further inspection showed that the article creator was a sockpuppet of a user who had previously been banned from Wikipedia.


My first Hero I looked up to was the American Rabbit, from his one movie, "The Adventures of the American Rabbit"; they REALLY SHOULD HAVE MADE A TV SERIES of him. Then in June, 1991, the SEGA Genesis rolled out, and Sonic the Hedgehog sided with the American Rabbit, but stood taller, as my Hero.
On 21 [[April 2016]], an article was created under the title '''Sonichu (Comic)''' and soon nominated for deletion; the article without the (Comic) qualifier was already protected from creation. It read, as of 22 April 2016:


I attended Greene County Primary School from Kindergarten to 3rd Grade, then I attended Nathaniel Greene Elementary for my 4th Grade. I was home-schooled for 5th Grade.
{{Quotebox|Sonichu is the comic created by Christian Weston Chandler, which combines the Pokémon, Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog. THe comics contain several references to Chris's real life and he has also created numerous custom Pokemon cards featuring Sonichu and other characters from the series. Sonichu is a recolor of Sonic the Hedgehog in Pikachu yellow, and he travels with a human companion named Chris, who is based on the real-life author. You can see many of these cards as well as a more detailed biography of the character at this link: http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_(character)}}


Some conflict between my mother, father and the school system occurred after physical abuse from 5 faculty members late in my 4th Grade; my parents took the case against the Greene County School Board for a year or two. The board threatened to lock me away in an institution, and my family did not want that, so in September, 1992, my family and I moved to Chesterfield County, while keeping our Ruckersville Home, for better Schooling.
==Other Wikipedia edits of note==
[[File:Meganwikipedia.png|200px|thumb|right|Megan disapproves.]]
[[File:Smitheywiki.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Cole approves.]]
In January and February 2010, [[Megan Schroeder]] (or a person pretending to be her) removed references to Chris from the Wikipedia articles on Manchester High School and [[Cole Smithey]].<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Meganshroeder</ref> Her edit summaries both ended with "that was either put there by vandals or by Christian under the assumption he is important enough to be mentioned (he is mentally handicapped)." Less than a day later, her edit summaries were struck out.


The articles' histories indicate that both mentions of Chris were added by anonymous users who most likely are not Chris, as the genuine article would have been far more [[Chris and English|verbose and rambling]]. One editor cited this very wiki as a reference, running afoul of Wikipedia's policy on {{w|Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources}}. As our own Wwwwolf put it, "Sorry, but Chris can't be mentioned here either unless there are reliable sources for this. That means actual publications. Also see Biographies of Living Persons on why sourcing stuff in biographies is such a big deal. This is not CWCki or ED; please remember Wikipedia's rules." Skimming through the talk page and edit history of any article even remotely connected with Chris reveals large amounts of petty vandalism from [[weens]].<ref group = note>Articles infected with Chris related vandalism include [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sean_Marshall&diff=next&oldid=350396058 Sean Marshall], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ruckersville,_Virginia&diff=399557954&oldid=399169556 Ruckersville], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charlottesville,_Virginia&diff=315040313&oldid=315040250 Charlottesville] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Hill&diff=276226199&oldid=276119469 Jimmy Hill], among others. </ref> This has led Wikipedia to set their {{w|Wikipedia:Edit filter}} to prevent users from making edits with Chris-related phrases.<ref group = note>For more info see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchFilter=257 filter log] of filter 257 - Sonichu and other repeat vandalism.  The phrases [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/4961668 "Christian Weston Chandler"] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/4954315 "Sonichu"] are disallowed by this filter.</ref>


=='''The Teenage Years'''==
On 22 [[February 2010]], the article on Cole Smithey was placed up for deletion.<ref>{{w|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cole Smithey}}</ref> The first two votes in the discussion both called for the deletion of the article, and both made explicit mention of Chris; the second one read, "'''Strong delete''' unless somebody wishes to write a sourced, neutral article about him. Otherwise, this serves as cannon fodder for the ChrisChan Sonichu fanatics over at [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]." The article was deleted on 1 March.


After moving into an apartment house in the Cloverleaf Complex, my father enrolled me into Providence Middle School for my 6th to 8th Grades; my half-sister, Carol Suzanne Chandler, was schooled there as well. It was a pleasant learning experiences over those 3 years. I was taught by the respective teachers there, but the most highly noted teacher I had, who watched over and guided me in that school was Mrs. Virginia Sanford; she was Teacher of the Year one year. I achieved Honor Roll in the majority of my time there.
It should also be noted that an account with the name Cole Smithey edited the Wikipedia article on Cole, and spammed film articles with links to his reviews. Whether or not this is the real Cole (who is known to be rather egotistical) remains to be seen.
{{clear}}


Then I continued to Manchester High School for my 9th to 12th Grades. My father and I had moved out of the Cloverleaf, then rented a house in Surrywood for a year, then moved into a Townhouse in the Newberry area before I attended M.H.S.
==Current situation==


I continued on my Honor Roll Grade Streak ALL THE WAY THROUGH M.H.S. I took various classes between Providence Middle and Manchester High. Mostly I took English Literature and Grammer, Mathematics, Science and Biology, Coping Skills, History, and HEAVY on the Art Classes. I was highly recognized for my artistic skills, by having them proudly displayed among other class-creations in the School for a while.
"Christian Weston Chandler", Christine Chandler" and related titles are currently "{{w|Wikipedia:Protection policy#Creation protection (salting)|salted}}" (protected from creation) so pages cannot be created under that title.<ref>Public logs for: [https://web.archive.org/web/20191210112152/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=Christopher_Weston_Chandler Christopher]/[https://web.archive.org/web/20191210112154/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=Christian_Weston_Chandler Christian]/[https://web.archive.org/web/20191210112156/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=Christine_Weston_Chandler Christine] Weston Chandler; [https://web.archive.org/web/20191210112343/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=Chris-Chan Chris-Chan]; [https://web.archive.org/web/20191210112353/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=Sonichu Sonichu].</ref> Pages for places and institutions associated with Chris, such as {{w|Ruckersville, Virginia}} and {{w|Manchester High School (Virginia)|Manchester High School}}, are also locked to non-autoconfirmed users, to prevent people from adding mentions of Chris. Lengthy discussions on the talk pages for these articles debating whether Chris is worthy of inclusion have been scrubbed from the site.


I have made a LOT of Friends as well over the years, MOSTLY FEMALE, because I was diagnosed for getting along better with girls than boys. And in my humble opinion, I could not agree more. Although I did have a few male friends in my lifetime, who were all good, honest individuals; in general, I despise a majority of the male population, because they can be such mean and cruel individuals.
The article for {{w|Kiwi Farms}} is an unusual case, since Chris is undeniably relevant to the history of the site. However, the article ties itself in knots trying to avoid mentioning Chris by name and gender-specific pronouns, despite mentioning the [[CWCki]]:


In my Freshman Year, I was selected to be Manager/Water Boy for the Varsity Basketball Team. With my partner, who was Junior, Josheph Herring. He and I were good buddies. He confided in me his dating experiences with his ex-girlfriend then (I can't remember her name, but I'm sure she would remember). Poor fellow; that night she dumped him, he cried all by his lonesome in the cold all that night. I empathized with him, and I was able to help him cheer up. I lost touch with him after he graduated Class of 1998, yet I wonder what's he been up to and how he has been.
{{quotebox|[[Kiwi Farms]] was founded in [[2013]] by [[Joshua Conner Moon]] (known as "Null" on the website), a former [[4-cent_garbage.com|8chan]] [[Jerkop|administrator]]. It was originally launched as a forum website to [[troll]] and harass [[Christian Weston Chandler|a webcomic artist]] who was first noticed in [[2007]] on the Something Awful forums. Eventually, an [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] page was created about the artist. A dedicated wiki, titled "[[CWCki]]" based on the artist's initials, was created by [[Cogsdev|people]] who felt that the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry was not [[Honest Content|detailed or accurate enough]]. Kiwi Farms was originally called "[[CWCki Forums]]" before "Kiwi Farms" was coined in [[2014]].}}


I was recognized for my work on the Varsity Team and was awarded a certificate and an embroidery "M" at the end of my Freshman Year.
Attempts to name Chris on the article have repeatedly been swiftly reverted and [[Shot to the moon|entirely deleted from the history page]],<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Kiwi_Farms ''Note: deleted revisions described as "disruptive" are usually attempts to name Chris on the article.''</ref> and the article has also received {{w|Wikipedia:Protection policy#extended|Extended Protection}}, which is usually only reserved for the most widely known figures or topics in history, in order to "promote compliance with the {{w|Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|policy of biographies of living persons.}}"


But I was happy with my big circle of gal-pals; we hung out a LOT, ate lunch, shared classes and all. But even though I did take the required sexual education classes, I never had a First Date in my lifetime during the Middle or High School years. And as I have later learned in my Adult Years, I should have been more attentive in DATING; I could have had my pick among my sweet gal-pals, but I chickened out. I did have a few crushes in my lifetime, even a High School Sweetheart for 3/4 of my High-School Life, Kellie Andes. I REALLY missed out on that when I could have had the chance to take it. But I was mostly Naive (My Least Favorite Word in the English Language) on the subject.
Wikipedia administrators and editors enforce non-naming due to a number of problems such as conflicts with Biographies of living persons guidelines<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons</ref> (particularly the "Avoid victimization" section.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kiwi_Farms/Archive_3#:~:text=List%20of%20previous%20discussions%20on%20this%20talk%20page%20and%20others</ref> Still, discussions continue to regularly appear on Wikipedia debating over whether Chris is notable enough to be included or mentioned on Wikipedia, with users ranging from weens, to fans, to even normal Wikipedians.


I had a very nice 18th Birthday Party, and I had invited my gal-pals to attend.
In [[October 2020]], Chris tried looking up his name on Wikipedia to see if there was a page on him and was pissed off over the omission of both himself and Sonichu, calling it "royal levels of suck" that there was nothing on Wikipedia about himself. [[Anaxis]] pointed out that there was an article on the Polish Wikipedia, but Chris retorted, "Oh, sure, Poland, but not on American Wikipedia", calling the latter the country he and Sonichu were born in.<ref name=placewikipedia></ref>


==='''Dating Education''' ===
On 1 [[October 2021]], [[Geno Samuel]] appeared on the 68th episode of the Trash Taste podcast. The episode's title, "The Dark World of Chris Chan (ft. Geno Samuel)," was listed on the podcast's Wikipedia page, finally earning Chris a mention on the website.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trash_Taste</ref>


As I have proposed the idea in my adult life within my Sonichu Comic Books, and a bit before then, High Schools SHOULD have '''Dating Education Classes''' along with the Sexual Education Classes. In my humble opinion, Sex ED is fine for AFTER 3 or so DATES, but '''HOW DO WE EVEN GET TO THE FIRST DATE?!!!''' If I had the Dating Education back then, I wouldn't have to had suffered being a frustrated virgin for soo many years.
On 26 [[May 2024]], Chris received [[:File:Chris 2 votes 2024 LNC.jpg|two official write-in votes]] for the Presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party, briefly earning him another mention on Wikipedia, this time by full name. However, the next day, his mention was removed.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Libertarian_National_Convention#Notes</ref>


==Foreign-language Wikipedias==
Though the English Wikipedia seems to stubborn in its intent to avoid talking about Chris at all, international versions of the Wikipedia project have had better luck about documenting Chris.


=== '''Sonichu's Birth''' ===
=== Spanish ===
On 26 January 2017, an article about Chris was added to the Spanish Wikipedia. It is quoted below:


During my Seinor Year, I took a Computer Graphics Class with a Miss Chalifoux (she got married that year, but I never learned her married name). Anyway, in March, 2000, she had assigned the class to create a CD Cover and Insert; the limit was NOT to use copyrighted characters, so Sonic and Pikachu were out of the question. And on March 17, 2000, I got the idea. I had been into Pokemon since Red and Blue came out, and I had created homemade Pokemon Trading Cards of my own Pokemon Creations (Only For Fun). Anyway, in my mind, I merged Sonic and Pikachu together to create Sonichu in his earliest form. I soon after drew him up on paper, and then drew him on computer for the CD-Cover of my later-to-create custom CD, "Christian's Favorite Hits".

From that day, I created his origins, stories, Rosechu and Black Sonichu (later to be renamed, Blake) and more, as well as the City of Cwcville, Virginia.

To be one with my crowd, I bought a pair of tickets, but I went there with my mother. But then I realized I was still an outcast, because I stood out more like a lonesome wallflower. But that night, my trusted "Peppermint Patty"-Type Gal-Pal, Tiffany Gowen, asked me to dance with her. I hesitated at first, but she grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the dance floor. We danced for what felt like hours. It was the most pleasant experience of that night, and I thank her for dancing with me then. I hope to return the favor at our Reunion.

===''' Graduation''' ===
Биография


Graduation for me was a sad one then. I ONLY got recognized for my Grades with a Star Pin, yet they had MORE FANCIER AWARDS for more important qualities. I should have been Highly Recognized for my ARTISTIC TALENTS I showed in my Many Art Classes for the Award Ceremonies before Graduation Day. I felt crestfallen greatly from not getting recognized for any of my Talents. I EXCELLED IN MATH TOO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
Родился 24 февраля 1982 года в Шарлотсвилле (штат Вирджиния, США), в семье Роберта (скончался в 2011 году) и Барбары Чендлеров. В возрасте около пяти лет ему поставили диагноз «аутизм». В 1992 году его первоначальное имя, Кристофер, было изменено на Кристиан.


I had gotten over the Award Ceremony on the Graduation Day, but to add Lemon Juice to an open wound, it was a Dark and Rainy Day that Day, and they handed out MORE TALENTED AWARDS right before handing out any diplomas. When I went up there to get mine, I was feeling depressed, upset, crestfallen and ticked off. When the award was handed to me, I took it without looking anyone in the eye, and I did not shake anyone's hands. I just walked back to my seat in the Graduating Crowd. Then soon after, I just walked the wrong way up the center aisle, found an isolated table and cried myself out. My mother found me later and comforted me; my father was ashamed of the way I acted, and he would later still be angry at recalling the moment. Tiffany also found me and gave me a caring moment of condolences back there. I gave her a plush Psyduck as a graduating gift beforehand.
Большую часть жизни Крис провёл в городе Ракерсвилл, где и проживает, и в Шарлотсвилле. За пределами Виргинии, где эти города расположены, Крис, по состоянию на 2015 год, был лишь два раза: во-первых, когда навещал своего двоюродного брата Кола в Калифорнии, а во-вторых, когда отправился в Кливленд (штат Огайо) в поисках своей очередной девушки, с которой переписывался (на деле оказавшейся очередным троллем). После безуспешной поездки в Огайо родители запретили Крису выезжать за пределы родного штата.


Days after Graduation, we settled and moved back to our Ruckersville Home. But I left out two other reasons why I felt crestfallen at Graduation. I Never got the chance to ask Kellie out on a date, and more importantly, that I was leaving ALL my close Gal Friends behind.
Первый выпуск своего веб-комикса «Соничу» был опубликован 24 марта 2005 года. Одноимённый персонаж является гибридом ежа Соника и Пикачу.


Он стал известен в Интернете в конце 2007 года, после того как привлёк внимание пользователей сайтов 4chan и Encyclopedia Dramatica. Первоначальное очарование было вызвано его фирменным самодельным медальоном Соничу (впоследстыии украденным и сожжённым), его детскими рисунками, изображающими его неоригинального перекрашенного Соника, и бродяжничеством в общественных местах[источник не указан 186 дней]. Из-за этого Кристиан стал жертвой онлайн-преследований и троллинга.


=='''College Time'''==
В 2011 году британский мультипликатор Гарри Партридж заметил:


My family and I moved back to our Ruckersville Home, and I was soon enrolled into Piedmont Virginia Community College. I was uncertain which to major in. At first, I randomly selected a major in Marketing, or something like that. I passed the coursed, but my family and I later learned that there were NOT many jobs around Charlottesville that degree would work me for, so upon my father's suggestion, I switched over to Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD). I continued to pass the courses to earn my Degree and Certificate.
В этом же году он начал идентифицировать себя как транс-лесбиянка по имени Кристин Уэстон Чендлер. Она была арестована в 2014 году после попытки кражи коробки с игрой Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric прямо в местном магазине сети GameStop и нападения на сотрудника магазина перед тем, как покинуть его[9].


30 июля 2021 года были опубликованы аудиозаписи, на которых Кристин утверждала, что изнасиловала свою слабоумную, страдающую деменцией мать. Эти двое были разделены местным отделением полиции в один и тот же день[10]. 1 августа по обвинению в инцесте она была арестована[11][12].


=== '''Start of my Sweetheart Search''' ===
Документальные фильмы }}


While my 18th Birthday was great, I did not have a good 21st. I was attending an English Course, when soon before, we started reading "Wednesday's Child", which was about an Autistic Girl, so I told the MALE professor that I was High Functionally Autistic as well. Due to his not understanding Autism himself, and fears from that, he kicked me out of his class on February 24, 2003; my 21st Birthday. After leaving the classroom, I found a folding plastic table with a chair by it, and I sat down, head in arms, and cried myself out the remainder of the time before the next class I had to take that day. I retook the course, with a female professor and passed it.
Translation:


It was also just after that day that I realized that I NEEDED A FEMALE SWEETHEART. So that was the start, and the only sensible idea I could come up with that was inexpensive, was make a paper sign stating back that year, "I am a 21-Year Old Male, seeking an 18-21-Year Old Single Female Companion."

Biography


Born February 24, 1982 in Charlottesville (Virginia, USA), in the family of Robert (deceased in 2011) and Barbara Chandler. At the age of about five, he was diagnosed with autism. In 1992, his original name, Christopher, was changed to Christian.


==='''Enter the Wicked Witch of the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens''' ===
Chris spent most of his life in the city of Ruckersville, where he lives, and in Charlottesville. Outside of Virginia, where these cities are located, Chris, as of 2015, was only twice: firstly, when he visited his cousin Kol in California, and secondly, when he went to Cleveland, Ohio, in search of his next girlfriend, with whom he corresponded (in fact, turned out to be another troll). After an unsuccessful trip to Ohio, Chris' parents forbade him to travel outside his native state.


The first issue of his webcomic Sonichu was published on March 24, 2005. The eponymous character is a hybrid of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu.


A couple of months had passed since I officially started my Sweetheart Search in August, 2003. Not one woman would give me the time of day or even a passing glance as I sat with the sign next to me. I felt lonely on those days.
He became famous on the Internet in late 2007, after attracting the attention of users of the sites 4chan and Encyclopedia Dramatica. The initial fascination stemmed from his signature homemade Sonichu medallion (later stolen and burned), his childhood drawings of his non-original repainted Sonic, and loitering in public places [source unspecified 186 days]. Because of this, Christian became a victim of online harassment and trolling.


Then in Mid-October, the Quote/Unquote "Dean of Student Services", '''Mary Lee Walsh''', approached me and pulled my sign away from me and told me, "'''You're NOT ALLOWED TO FIND TRUE LOVE HERE.'''" MY HEART WAS SHATTERED that very moment. But I did not give up; I made another sign, then a few weeks later, she did it again. I became more determined. I created and printed ads and laid them around PVCC; created my MySpace and Facebook pages and whatnot. Then that B-Dog ripped up my notes and all, dragged me to her quarters and talked down to me very RUDELY AND HOARSELY. I reacted with my own attack that she had been asking for the whole time. I was kicked out of PVCC for a year, and I had to take an anger management course and see a psychiatrist for a while. I was allowed back in.
In 2011, British cartoonist Harry Partridge remarked:
“ That same year, Chris began to identify as a trans lesbian named Christine Weston Chandler. He was arrested in 2014 after attempting to steal a box of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric from a local GameStop store and assaulting a store employee before leaving “.


I continued with my courses, passed with good grades; made the Dean's List and Graduated with my Degree and Certificate. This was a HAPPIER GRADUATION FOR ME, because I was Finally LOSING MY TIES WITH THAT HELL-HOLE THAT SHOWED NO LOVE FOR ME, OR MY NOBLE SEARCH FOR TRUE LOVE.
On July 30, 2021, audio recordings were released in which Christian claimed to have raped his feeble-minded, demented mother. The two were separated by the local police station on the same day[10]. On August 1, she was arrested on charges of incest[11][12]. }}


After the first encounter with Mary, I put her into my comics from the start as MY personal MAIN Adversary, with her hoard of Impostor Police People, also known as Jerkops, and the Notorious Count Graduon trapped in the glass orb on the scepter she wields.
=== Dutch ===
On 9 July 2022, an article on Chris was created on the Dutch Wikipedia under the title "{{w|Chris Chan|lang=nl}}". Unlike the previous attempts, this article appears to be a genuine attempt by a Wikipedia user in providing a more professional and unbiased coverage on Chris, going as far as to referring him by his preferred pronouns. Despite that, the article was deleted on the 2 October 2022, citing the sensational nature of the sources used, primarily from those covering Chris's [[incest arrest]]. An archive copy is linked [https://archive.ph/iMfa5 here].


=== Portuguese ===
On 23 February 2024, an article on Chris was created on the Portuguese Wikipedia titled "{{w|Chris Chan|lang=pt}}". Like the Dutch article, it appears to be a Wikipedian's genuine attempt to create an unbiased and professional article.

As drawn in my Sub-Episodes, I had my encounters outside of PVCC with the Jerkops who beat me up, dragged me around and all in my Search. It happened at the Fashion Square Shopping Mall, at my Local Wal-Mart and Target. I was even taken to court after the Target incident, but because of my volunteer work with the Pokemon Trading Card Game League at the Game & Hobby Place, I was put under watch for 3 months, then found Innocent and cleared of all charges.

“ I ONLY WISH TO TELL THE TRUTH AND SPREAD IT ON THE INTERNET. ”
Chris

On 1 May 2009, for reasons that only GodJesus knows, Christian Weston Chandler registered on Wikipedia as ChrisChanSonichu. He did this almost solely to create a user page that is to record one of the most in-depth autobiographical accounts of his life.[1]

A user page is not a proper article, and therefore not subject to the same strict guidelines as an article, but as biographical and personal an article as Chris's was a flagrant violation of Wikipedia policy. The Wikipedia community tends to frown on the use of the user pages as web space;[2] the user pages should usually be reserved for purposes somehow related to the Wikipedia project, and user pages for users who don't contribute anything to the articles frequently get deleted. Chris, of course, made it abundantly clear that he's not interested in actually editing the project.

Chris's user page was deleted by a Wikipedia administrator, who believed it to be the work of a troll. Sadly, the details shows that this was the real deal.

The only other thing Chris did was add his name to the article on high-functioning autism, under the list of "famous individuals that may have had many different variations of autism along with HFA."[3][4] The kicker is that he put himself right next to Michelangelo. Again.

To date, the "Christian Weston Chandler" article on Wikipedia has been created by trolls four times and deleted each time: 15 February, 26 March, 28 April and 3 May 2009.[5] It has consequently been "salted" or protected so that it cannot be re-created under that title. Chris's account was also blocked indefinitely for violating many rules. The page on Ruckersville, Virginia is also locked to non-autoconfirmed users to prevent people from adding mentions of Chris.

To this day, discussions still regularly appear on Wikipedia debating over whether Chris is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia, with users ranging from weens to fans, to even normal Wikipedians. So far, no such page has been created on English-language Wikipedia. Furthermore, pages discussing things that Chris would logically be relevant to, such as their article for Kiwi Farms (itself the successor to CWCki Forums, which is named after this very Wiki and Chris by extension) and List of people claimed to be Jesus (as Chris has done), go out of their way to not mention Chris by name. As of October 2020, Chris remains upset over the lack of Wikipedia coverage on him and Sonichu.[6]

May 2009 drama

In a video on 3 May, Chris makes a case for his worthiness and rallies his True and Honest fans to restore his biography. He also posted the following on his Wikipedia discussion page:

Dear Sir/Madam,

LOOK, I do not have the appropriate calm state of mind to make time to READ those numerous upon numerous small-print details, much less memorize them. I have had a LOT of SLANDEROUS TWISTS OF MY OWN WORDS done unto me in the past SOO MUCH, it is HARDEST for me to get a job in a place that does background checks, only to find that cursed E.D. Page those EVIL TROLLS created against me at the TOP of the list.

I started my OWN Wikipedia page to hopefully counter that and better the people's General Understand of the Noble Gentleman I truly am. I SPENT HOURS, recalling MEMORY after MEMORY to type up the HONEST-TO-GOD TRUTH.

I DO NOT CARE about the erroneous listings or false information listed on other pages; I ONLY WISH TO TELL THE TRUTH AND SPREAD IT ON THE INTERNET.

Plus, I have Vanessa Anne Hudgens as an honest, very close Gal-Pal, and you know very well how powerful she is as a STAR.

I have created a video on YouTube respectfully asking to leave my Wikipedia ALONE with MY HONEST TRUTH from MY OWN High-Functioning Autistic Head; my LOYAL FANBASE will be sending you letters.

UNDO YOUR DELETION, PLEASE.

--Christian Weston Chandler (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

In short, Chris didn't give a shit about contributing to Wikipedia, only aiming to use it as a means to present what he thinks he is without needing to vandalize his Encyclopedia Dramatica page.

Mainspace articles involving Chris

Note that it calls us an "infamous" wiki.

On 13 August 2010, a new article on Mr. Chandler was created under the name Christian W. Chandler. The article consisted of the following:

Christian Weston Chandler (born Christopher Weston Chandler on 24 February 1982) is an illustrator from Charlottesville, Virginia. He is known mainly as the creator of Sonichu, a fan fiction comic based off the Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon franchise. He was also featured in the May 2004 issue of Nintendo Power for his documentary, the April 2005 issue of Nintendo Power, and the community college newspaper for Piedmont Virginia Community College.

Christian Weston Chandler's birth name was, in fact, Christopher. It took a chance encounter with Leonard Bearstein in Regency Square Mall for his current name to be bestowed upon him. Aged 11 at the time, Chris and his father were in the mall for holiday shopping when Chris came across Leonard and engaged him in conversation. The man behind the microphone, mishearing the name "Christopher", addressed the young boy as Christian, a name that struck a chord within the young Chandler's heart. All it took was one legal name change for Christian to assume the identity he carries with him to this day. He acknowledges jokingly that it was as if God spoke through the bear to give him the name he always wanted.

The article used Chris's two Nintendo Power appearances, as well as the writeup in the PVCC Forum and the It took a talking bear to give the name a young boy loves article as references. Only a day later, this article was also nominated for deletion; it got deleted less than an hour-and-a-half later after the author requested it to be deleted.[7] Further inspection showed that the article creator was a sockpuppet of a user who had previously been banned from Wikipedia.

On 21 April 2016, an article was created under the title Sonichu (Comic) and soon nominated for deletion; the article without the (Comic) qualifier was already protected from creation. It read, as of 22 April 2016:

Sonichu is the comic created by Christian Weston Chandler, which combines the Pokémon, Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog. THe comics contain several references to Chris's real life and he has also created numerous custom Pokemon cards featuring Sonichu and other characters from the series. Sonichu is a recolor of Sonic the Hedgehog in Pikachu yellow, and he travels with a human companion named Chris, who is based on the real-life author. You can see many of these cards as well as a more detailed biography of the character at this link: http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_(character)

Other Wikipedia edits of note

Megan disapproves.
Cole approves.

In January and February 2010, Megan Schroeder (or a person pretending to be her) removed references to Chris from the Wikipedia articles on Manchester High School and Cole Smithey.[8] Her edit summaries both ended with "that was either put there by vandals or by Christian under the assumption he is important enough to be mentioned (he is mentally handicapped)." Less than a day later, her edit summaries were struck out.

The articles' histories indicate that both mentions of Chris were added by anonymous users who most likely are not Chris, as the genuine article would have been far more verbose and rambling. One editor cited this very wiki as a reference, running afoul of Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources. As our own Wwwwolf put it, "Sorry, but Chris can't be mentioned here either unless there are reliable sources for this. That means actual publications. Also see Biographies of Living Persons on why sourcing stuff in biographies is such a big deal. This is not CWCki or ED; please remember Wikipedia's rules." Skimming through the talk page and edit history of any article even remotely connected with Chris reveals large amounts of petty vandalism from weens.[note 1] This has led Wikipedia to set their Wikipedia:Edit filter to prevent users from making edits with Chris-related phrases.[note 2]

On 22 February 2010, the article on Cole Smithey was placed up for deletion.[9] The first two votes in the discussion both called for the deletion of the article, and both made explicit mention of Chris; the second one read, "Strong delete unless somebody wishes to write a sourced, neutral article about him. Otherwise, this serves as cannon fodder for the ChrisChan Sonichu fanatics over at Encyclopedia Dramatica." The article was deleted on 1 March.

It should also be noted that an account with the name Cole Smithey edited the Wikipedia article on Cole, and spammed film articles with links to his reviews. Whether or not this is the real Cole (who is known to be rather egotistical) remains to be seen.

Current situation

"Christian Weston Chandler", Christine Chandler" and related titles are currently "salted" (protected from creation) so pages cannot be created under that title.[10] Pages for places and institutions associated with Chris, such as Ruckersville, Virginia and Manchester High School, are also locked to non-autoconfirmed users, to prevent people from adding mentions of Chris. Lengthy discussions on the talk pages for these articles debating whether Chris is worthy of inclusion have been scrubbed from the site.

The article for Kiwi Farms is an unusual case, since Chris is undeniably relevant to the history of the site. However, the article ties itself in knots trying to avoid mentioning Chris by name and gender-specific pronouns, despite mentioning the CWCki:

Kiwi Farms was founded in 2013 by Joshua Conner Moon (known as "Null" on the website), a former 8chan administrator. It was originally launched as a forum website to troll and harass a webcomic artist who was first noticed in 2007 on the Something Awful forums. Eventually, an Encyclopedia Dramatica page was created about the artist. A dedicated wiki, titled "CWCki" based on the artist's initials, was created by people who felt that the Encyclopedia Dramatica entry was not detailed or accurate enough. Kiwi Farms was originally called "CWCki Forums" before "Kiwi Farms" was coined in 2014.

Attempts to name Chris on the article have repeatedly been swiftly reverted and entirely deleted from the history page,[11] and the article has also received Extended Protection, which is usually only reserved for the most widely known figures or topics in history, in order to "promote compliance with the policy of biographies of living persons."

Wikipedia administrators and editors enforce non-naming due to a number of problems such as conflicts with Biographies of living persons guidelines[12] (particularly the "Avoid victimization" section.[13] Still, discussions continue to regularly appear on Wikipedia debating over whether Chris is notable enough to be included or mentioned on Wikipedia, with users ranging from weens, to fans, to even normal Wikipedians.

In October 2020, Chris tried looking up his name on Wikipedia to see if there was a page on him and was pissed off over the omission of both himself and Sonichu, calling it "royal levels of suck" that there was nothing on Wikipedia about himself. Anaxis pointed out that there was an article on the Polish Wikipedia, but Chris retorted, "Oh, sure, Poland, but not on American Wikipedia", calling the latter the country he and Sonichu were born in.[6]

On 1 October 2021, Geno Samuel appeared on the 68th episode of the Trash Taste podcast. The episode's title, "The Dark World of Chris Chan (ft. Geno Samuel)," was listed on the podcast's Wikipedia page, finally earning Chris a mention on the website.[14]

On 26 May 2024, Chris received two official write-in votes for the Presidential nomination of the Libertarian Party, briefly earning him another mention on Wikipedia, this time by full name. However, the next day, his mention was removed.[15]

Foreign-language Wikipedias

Though the English Wikipedia seems to stubborn in its intent to avoid talking about Chris at all, international versions of the Wikipedia project have had better luck about documenting Chris.

Spanish

On 26 January 2017, an article about Chris was added to the Spanish Wikipedia. It is quoted below:

Christian Weston Chandler (Charlottesville, Virginia, 24 de febrero de 1982) es un vlogger de YouTube y creador del webcómic Sonichu. En 2007 Christian se convirtió en objetivo de troleo por parte de Encyclopædia Dramatica y 4chan debido a pobre calidad de su trabajo, su comportamiento inusual y sus reacciones extremas a la hostilidad.​ Christian fue arrestado en el 2014 después intentar remover la carátula del juego Sonic Boom en GameStop y atacar a un empleado antes de salir forzosamente.

Translation:

Christian Weston Chandler (Charlottesville, Virginia, 24 February, 1982) is a YouTube vlogger and creator of the webcomic Sonichu. In 2007 Christian became a target of trolling by Encyclopedia Dramatica and 4chan due to the poor quality of his work, his unusual behavior, and his extreme reactions to hostility. Christian was arrested in 2014 after trying to remove the cases from the game Sonic Boom at GameStop and attacking an employee before leaving forcibly.

It used the Know Your Meme page about Chris, as well as a site reporting on his 26 December 2014 arrest, as sources. The page was deleted on 3 December 2017, however an archive copy is linked here.[16]

Polish

On 15 August 2020, a user of CWCki, Methalowiec, successfully created a page for Chris on the Polish Wikipedia, which is a different website entirely from its English counterpart. Despite the English Wikipedia having banned the page from being created, the Polish page was accepted by an administrator. Notably, the page refers to Chris by male pronouns; this was probably accepted due to Poland's right leaning political environment.

The page was removed[17] on 21st of January 2021. The reasons provided include the fact that the article failed to describe what exactly Chris is noteworthy for.[18]

Russian

On 19 October 2020, a user of CWCki, AutoDiller (Soglasun on Wikipedia), created a page for Chris on Russian Wikipedia that was mainly translated from the Polish version:[19]

Кристин Уэстон Чендлер (англ. Christine Weston Chandler, в прошлом — Кристиан Уэстон Чендлер (англ. Christian Weston Chandler), род. 24 февраля 1982; также известен как Крис-Чан (англ. Chris-chan)) — видеоблогер и создатель веб-комикса «Соничу». Считается некоторыми одной из самых задокументированных личностей в истории.

Биография

Родился 24 февраля 1982 года в Шарлотсвилле (штат Вирджиния, США), в семье Роберта (скончался в 2011 году) и Барбары Чендлеров. В возрасте около пяти лет ему поставили диагноз «аутизм». В 1992 году его первоначальное имя, Кристофер, было изменено на Кристиан.

Большую часть жизни Крис провёл в городе Ракерсвилл, где и проживает, и в Шарлотсвилле. За пределами Виргинии, где эти города расположены, Крис, по состоянию на 2015 год, был лишь два раза: во-первых, когда навещал своего двоюродного брата Кола в Калифорнии, а во-вторых, когда отправился в Кливленд (штат Огайо) в поисках своей очередной девушки, с которой переписывался (на деле оказавшейся очередным троллем). После безуспешной поездки в Огайо родители запретили Крису выезжать за пределы родного штата.

Первый выпуск своего веб-комикса «Соничу» был опубликован 24 марта 2005 года. Одноимённый персонаж является гибридом ежа Соника и Пикачу.

Он стал известен в Интернете в конце 2007 года, после того как привлёк внимание пользователей сайтов 4chan и Encyclopedia Dramatica. Первоначальное очарование было вызвано его фирменным самодельным медальоном Соничу (впоследстыии украденным и сожжённым), его детскими рисунками, изображающими его неоригинального перекрашенного Соника, и бродяжничеством в общественных местах[источник не указан 186 дней]. Из-за этого Кристиан стал жертвой онлайн-преследований и троллинга.

В 2011 году британский мультипликатор Гарри Партридж заметил:

В этом же году он начал идентифицировать себя как транс-лесбиянка по имени Кристин Уэстон Чендлер. Она была арестована в 2014 году после попытки кражи коробки с игрой Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric прямо в местном магазине сети GameStop и нападения на сотрудника магазина перед тем, как покинуть его[9].

30 июля 2021 года были опубликованы аудиозаписи, на которых Кристин утверждала, что изнасиловала свою слабоумную, страдающую деменцией мать. Эти двое были разделены местным отделением полиции в один и тот же день[10]. 1 августа по обвинению в инцесте она была арестована[11][12].

Biography

Born February 24, 1982 in Charlottesville (Virginia, USA), in the family of Robert (deceased in 2011) and Barbara Chandler. At the age of about five, he was diagnosed with autism. In 1992, his original name, Christopher, was changed to Christian.

Chris spent most of his life in the city of Ruckersville, where he lives, and in Charlottesville. Outside of Virginia, where these cities are located, Chris, as of 2015, was only twice: firstly, when he visited his cousin Kol in California, and secondly, when he went to Cleveland, Ohio, in search of his next girlfriend, with whom he corresponded (in fact, turned out to be another troll). After an unsuccessful trip to Ohio, Chris' parents forbade him to travel outside his native state.

The first issue of his webcomic Sonichu was published on March 24, 2005. The eponymous character is a hybrid of Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu.

He became famous on the Internet in late 2007, after attracting the attention of users of the sites 4chan and Encyclopedia Dramatica. The initial fascination stemmed from his signature homemade Sonichu medallion (later stolen and burned), his childhood drawings of his non-original repainted Sonic, and loitering in public places [source unspecified 186 days]. Because of this, Christian became a victim of online harassment and trolling.

In 2011, British cartoonist Harry Partridge remarked: “ That same year, Chris began to identify as a trans lesbian named Christine Weston Chandler. He was arrested in 2014 after attempting to steal a box of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric from a local GameStop store and assaulting a store employee before leaving “.

On July 30, 2021, audio recordings were released in which Christian claimed to have raped his feeble-minded, demented mother. The two were separated by the local police station on the same day[10]. On August 1, she was arrested on charges of incest[11][12].

Dutch

On 9 July 2022, an article on Chris was created on the Dutch Wikipedia under the title "Chris Chan".

Despite that, the article was deleted on the 2 October 2022, citing the sensational nature of the sources used, primarily from those covering Chris's incest arrest. An archive copy is linked here.

Portuguese
