From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Actually, you're doing it the right way. A while back, Czechout and another user had a conversation discussing this (and unfortunately I don't remember where I saw it) and it is considered bad grammar to start an article with "this so-and-so" because readers don't know what "this" is referring to.
I've been changing it whenever I come across it, but there are probably tons of examples that I haven't seen yet.
