[edit] What say you, Wikipedians?

Pulling dumb things people have said in wikipedia is like pulling crap out of a pasture; easy enough to do but you only want to throw around the very best. The main Wikipedia entries (the actual "encyclopedia-like" pages) are beat down from a billion directions into entertainment-free pablum, and the pages that Wikipedians set up about themselves tend to be self-aggrandizing (or falsely humble), so there's nothing all that interesting about them.

But in the discussion areas, where the best of the Wikibest sit down and attempt to iron out their differences, that's where you realize how much the Hamster Wheel of Wikipedia's Mental Engine is in fact populated by retarded buffalo. Let's see some of the classics.

Jimbo runs the dump, so he gets his very own page with choice quotes.

"Submitting garbage to Wikipedia is like masturbating - it feels good to you, but to no one else, and it results in a sudden spurt of totally useless information that needs to be cleaned up." -- Dragonfly67[1]
"Fuck it, I quit Well, if you hoped to drive off Wikipedia contributors with your three-ring circus, you've succeeded. I will not be editing here any longer. Enjoy your little circle jerk; no person of stature or dignity could abide such disrespect and remain. Firebug 00:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)"[2]
Good god.....get it out of here. Ok, to start: it's an article about a website for "furry"s, and a non-notable forum. Does not appear to meet any WP:WEB notability tests. Also contains a huge linkspam list at the end. Kill it in the face ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 16:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
This aggressive boy has found something new to hate: content.
"In stark terms, Wikipedia is one of the single most important undertakings in human history."
Wikinerd Phil Welch doesn't get out much.
"No such battle. Gdr 14:07, 2004 Aug 9 (UTC)"
"google gave me 62 hits. Keep -R. fiend 15:55, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
"All the "hits" are from Wikipedia and its clones, so delete. This shows why you should be careful in interpreting the results of a Google search. Gdr 16:19, 2004 Aug 9 (UTC)"[3]
R. fiend's research methods -- common to most Wikinerds -- are shown to be flawed. The Battle of Blenau is entirely fictitious, but scrapers have spread it across the web. Wikinerds are in love with the "Google test", in which a subject's "notability" is measured by how many hits a Google search brings up, without regard to the quality of the hit or whether the subject is the kind of thing people write webpages about. Hilariously, R. fiend noted "I'm getting nothing at all for Battle of Bléneau", which is a real battle of minor significance. So R. fiend would have us keep the hoax and delete the real thing.
"The main reason why so many people are hesitant in trusting the information on this site is that a handful of users replace real, useful facts with bogus nonsense that they find humorous."--AmiDaniel (an example of Ami's fine work making sure that Wikipedia doesn't have any bogus nonsense can be seen here, where he cavalierly removes another person's hard work because he didn't meet some arbitrary standards that he uses to revert "vandals")
Wrong. The main reason most people are hesitant in trusting Wikipedia is that the legitimate users replace real, useful facts with bogus nonsense they read on the web somewhere.

About Wikitruth

[edit] The Quality of the Newest Wikipedians

"Librarian Michelle Cowell was telling her eighth-grade students that anyone in the world could edit the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia when one boy started giggling..."Ooh, I just changed it," he announced. Within five minutes, two more students had altered a Saddam Hussein article. "The first thing they did was change it to say, "He has bad breath,' "He has stinky feet,' " said Cowell, of Waverly-Shell Rock Junior High in Waverly, Iowa. She didn't approve, but had to admit: "It is real easy. It kind of proved my point for them."

-- Home News Tribune, "Wikipedia world Popular online site is used by everyone — but how accurate are the articles?" (April 1, 2006)

[edit] Another Satisfied Customer

"I've been working on research for several years for a documentary. We have our own website which has an entire history page and time line for this particular dead shopping mall dating all the way back to 1964. A lot of blood, sweat, tears, phone calls, digging thru archives, yada yada yada, to get everything verified, checked and rechecked....Imagine how happy I was, and my partners, to wake up one morning only to see ALL of our hard work posted on Wikipedia.....All of it, with not one mention or credit given to any of us. Someone just copy and pasted all of it and plastered it all over the Wik site. We've been fighting with these folks for months to have it removed, or credited to our company, but no such luck.I know everything on the web is basically free game, but.....to find out that some 16 year old kid took everything I worked so hard on just blows." - Documentarian Singlesu [6]
