A friend of mine said that this show I never heard of called Ben 10 had the Metal Gear Solid's Campell as one of the main characters. So as a joke on wikipedia, I started putting radomly on the Ben 10 page, "SNAKE!!!! SNAKE!!!! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEEE!!!!!!" as a joke on who could make the funnier wikipedia editing. Other great ones were the page on urine, saying "Goes down easier than Desprite Housewives" Come on, say how you edit it.

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	i havent edited anything. but i can say i stopped relying on it for school research assignments after teachers and students told me that anybody can change it. but when i did use it, it helped give me something to write down on a paper so i had something to turn in the next day. ahh memories of the sleepless-high-school-procrastination-nights. i should start a thread on that topic

Wikipedia sucks, it's the birthplace of crap rumors, in particular for Ed Edd n Eddy, and what with me owning the worlds biggest fan site (applause plz) I'm the one who gets spammed by n00bs who want to know it it's true or not -_-.

I do believe this counts as flamebait.

I know I'm tempted to drive cross-country with a big knife.

I don't think that site can "fix itself automatically", you just give the human part extra work.

Edymnion 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 2523	No, there are no machines, every thing somebody posts up there thinking they're going to be cute by screwing up someone else's hard work requires another GOOD user to come in behind them and clean up their mess. Wikipedia only works as long as people don't act like 3 year olds with a blank wall and a crayon on it. If you don't double check everything you put up on there to make sure what you are saying is 100% correct, then don't even touch the Edit button. Wikipedia is not a toy.

There's loads more sites out there... that does seem pretty amusing with the whole Metal Gear thing

Roadgeek 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 1021	I wrote an article on Wikipedia several months ago about the dead Carolina Circle Mall. It was deleted about a week later. They said that an old defunct mall doesn't belong on that site.

System 8 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	Well, if you need help with the classics its pretty accurate. I think Wikipedia should have an editor for the pages submitted into the areas of science/literature/history.
