Wikipedia fun

[Tyguy]

I just wanted a picture of a chinese guy.....

anyone else got anything good in wikipedia?

 

[xcellerate]

i was looking up "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" once and the page said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!!"

also, on "21:56, 30 January 2007" it read, "this disease is the president of the united states"

 

[Qonfused]

I randomly edit Wikipedias. It's funny to add a line of random text somwhere on an illness page.

"AIDS is a very serious problem throughout the world. The good news is that AIDS is only able to be contracted by black people."

I once went to the 50 cent page(rapper) and it showed a picture of a gorilla.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Oh man, being a Wiki admin must be the greatest job on the internets.

 

[Raziaar]

And here I thought people only had to deal with you assholes on this site.

 

[ZeeM]

In before the lock.

And I hope ban too for you fags editing wikipedia and destroying other people's voluntary work.

 

[Polaris]

It's not fun, Wikipedia is source of information created by volunteers. If you wan't to have fun, use Uncyclopedia.

 

[The Monkey]

You people is the reason why wiki is having a hard time getting a good reputation.

And I hope ban too for you fags editing wikipedia and destroying other people's voluntary work.

It can be restored in an instant.

 

[MiccyNarc]

Exactly.

The title is mis-leading, but I don't think the OP vandalized that wiki, it already was and he just stumbled upon it in its vandalized state.

I actually fixed a wiki the other day. I was looking at the Skylab wiki and saw a grammatical error so I fixed it! Then I proceeded to go outside and watch the International Space Station orbit through my sky. It was cool!

Man, I'm so cool.

Organizers was spelled "organisers" in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylab#End_of_Skylab

YEA, HL2.NET GRAMMAR RANGERS REPRESENTING.

 

[SimonomiS]

But it could lead to people vandalizing and then going "LOLOL LOOK WAT I FOUND GUYZ!".

Yea, I don't really condone this post, but the OP's intent wasn't nearly as bad as everyone here seems to assume.

He was getting lynched incorrectly, so I thought I'd help clear things up. This thread is still wrong and should probably be deleted.

 

[Sulkdodds]

What you've never heard of that before?

Clearly I have, because I just posted it.

Wikipedia's unreliable shit anyways.

Encyclopedia Britannica + Google > Wikipedia

Anytime, anywhere.

Wiki has far more articles and 99% of those are better and longer than those in Britannica. Wiki is the future.

Wut?

Rubbish article that. Just yesterday, I clicked on the main article of the front page and it took me to a picture of a man diareahring.

Wikipedia - Serious Business.

Real men use Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Especially with arbitrarily deleting what they consider useless and no real researchers contributing on it on a large scale. I trust more proper researchers and books written by them than anonymous Wikipedia. Plus, provide proper citations and references to prove your point, otherwise this is pointless bragging on your part.

Plus, as a rule of thumb, all works with Wikipedia as source are given a fail here. I <3 this rule.

[ríomhaire]

I hate people who vadilise wikipedia. FFS, use Uncyclopedia.

 

[Qonfused]

Rofl. This thread's replies made me laugh. Thanks.

 

[Polaris]

Those idiots who attacking Wikipedia reminds me how one of stupid PS3 fanboys who ruined Gabe Newell's article only because Gabe don't like PS3 development. It's very sad for wikipedists like me.

 

[Parlez]

I love to delete everything on a page and just start talking about random stuff not related to the subject.

When I went to the article for Scabies once:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scabies&oldid=104664294

Yeah. Made me lol too.

So I guess we should all just go and suck off Jimbo and praise him like a god.

I intended to flame you, but then again I actually have a life.

What?

 

[Tagaziel]

It's late, I'm not functioning well. I understood that as a snide remark at people who don't like Wikipedia (yay), but now I see it might be actually aimed at trolls who vandalise the site.

 

[Absinthe]

Yes, that is what he meant. People who vandalize wikipedia are just being jackasses and tarnishing what is a promising library of collective knowledge.

Despite this, however, I believe that Wikipedia is an overwhelming success when, by all rights, it should be a disaster zone of misinformation.
