Sorry, fellow Deviants, but I really have to tell you this weird piece of news.
I have to confess that I've been (and I am currently) a Wikipedia contributor, mostly scribbling in scientific pages and Cthulhu Mythos sections too, of course (naturally, I'd say)
I use to scroll down the Table of Great Old Ones where sometimes I find additions from Wikipedia users and I myself often add new entries as I find verified ones in terms of Bibliography and Reliability. Since 2010, I think, I've been adding to the list of Great Old Ones and elsewhere needed several Mythos entities - some also depicted in my artwork - like Dzéwà, Mormo or Swarog from Chaosium and Pegasus Press roleplay games and/or lesser known Lovecraft or other Cthulhu Mythos contributors' stories.
Certainly I could expect everything in updates but... seeing an original Great Old One of mine listed in the Great Old One Table!?!?
It's Kthaw'keth, which I've loosely related to Ann K. Schwader's "much cooler" Ammutseba and Lovecraft's ravenous Flying Polyps Race. Do you remember?
Scroll down the Table of Great Old Ones (if it's still there) and check.
I'm not displeased to see my art included in the Mythos, on the contrary, but getting to know that it's matching with the mysterious "crocodile-headed beast with three legs and a dorsal row of tentacles" hinted by Lovecraft in "Medusa's Coil" (1939) leaves me bewildered (moreover, do you see where the three legs are in that formless bodymass?). Although there is a link to Egyptian and pre-Egyptian times, Kthaw'keth hasn't anything to do with Lovecraft's (so far) nameless abomination. Perhaps the "Eusuchian" snout and the writhing appendages of Kthaw'keth have led the anonymous contributor to type something not entirely correct.
All I could do is edit the entry and type Comics in place of MC in Reference column, because it's an original entity to be released in the Cthulhu Mythos comics of mine. If anyone is going to definitely remove Kthaw'keth from the table, I won't be (too much) sad.

Cthulhu Naming Contest December 2015 RESULTS
Here we are, Cthulhu Mythos December/Yuletide Naming Contest is closed. Latest contest had received way more submissions, whereas current one has received only one entry (?). Maybe December and Christmas holidays are not the most inspiring periods for messing with dark knowledge, yet Lovecraft has written one of his best known pieces dedicating it to Yuletide, Germanic/Norse homologue of christian Xmas...
Moreover many of you have missed the rare privilege chance to ask me not one but two requests... just kidding...
Therefore the one and only contest participant... TAKES ALL THE PRIZES!! Hahaha!! :D :rofl:

Cthulhu Double Naming Contest December 2015
Approximating Christmas – or should I say Yuletide Festival to use a Lovecraftian headword – I’m feeling as generous as Santa Claws (… Santa’s homologue in R’lyeh *lol*… ) and I want this journal entry to launch a twofold Cthulhu Mythos naming contest, in order to blend an “old glory” of Cthulhu Mythos and a “brand-new” entry from recent Lovecraft-related fiction.
This time I’m asking you to help me finding a name for two unnamed Cthulhu Mythos entities and accordingly prize shall be twofold too: winner(s) can ask me not one but two requests. Double the dark lore, doubl
Cthulhu MNC - Mid November 2015 RESULTS
Well, here we are. Mid November 2015 Cthulhu Mythos Naming Contest has come to an end.
I'm glad much more participants have submitted their own proposal to "christen" the unnamed Great Old One described by William Browning Spencer in the short novel of his "Usurped", an insectoid abomination whose real names has "-toth" suffix as in many other Cthulhu Mythos dark fellows (i.e. Azathoth).
