Title: Wikipedia'd some people
Post by: Revo on January 08, 2008, 10:11:54 PM
Basically, I searched for some of the people here on wikipedia.org (Got nothing better to do in computer class.)

Here are my interesting results...

Nouman- Psychosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosis)

Roph- List of World Swimming Championships Medalists (Women) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Swimming_Championships_medalists_%28women%29)

Irock- WIHN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIHN) (Win? ;8 )

ChaosSpartan- Kyuukyuu_Sentai_GoGo-V (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyuukyuu_Sentai_GoGo-V) (Basically, Japanese Power Rangers)

I just did a few I could remember. I'm sure if you did everyone, you'd get some really interesting ones.

Wikipedia's search sucks balls, I typed in "Asian Retards" (to see if any existed) and I got Indian Pickle 100% relevance.

The Wikipedia is very strictly moderated.  I am glad you didn't write ACTUAL articles.  They'd get deleted.  :(  Now, maybe an RMRK article, since RMRK is really big.  But other than that...   :-\

Anyway, I wonder what I'd get... LOL.   :D

It's kind of sad that Wikipedia is controlled by idiots, it's supposed to be the free online encyclopedia, yet they have so many restrictions.

It has to be, otherwise all it would be less an encyclopedia and just a shitty website with tons of (more) misinformation and spam. Also, I don't see how a moderated encyclopedia makes it less a free online encyclopedia :P

That's right.  Now, think of the bandwidth and the HUGE database they must have...  It's a BIG project.  One of the biggest online, if not THE biggest...  They can't be wasting that on useless things.  But I agree, the Wikipedia is full of arrogant assholes.  They feel like the latest Coca-Cola of the desert.

One time, my class was doing an online project and somebody edited a page on Shakespeare, (and by edited, I mean livened up) and it was fixed in ten minutes. THAT's service
