Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

[Neodanthril]

I've always been confused on why wikipedia allows pages for individual fictional characters that aren't particularly notable or prolific.

because the spergs that devote enough time to wikipedia to gain political clout over whether something can or cannot be edited inevitably has a fictional franchise that they have memorized every iota of information about. you could almost say Wikipedia pays autistic people in fictional character page fiefdoms.

The notability for fictional elements is based on “out of universe” elements. You aren’t allowed to determine “notability” based on stuff like in-universe importance (though like everything on Wikipedia it is subject to what you can convince a handful of people to believe at any given moment). This is why every article on a fictional character has an overloaded reception chock full of every single thing journos have ever said about them. It is what justifies their existence.

When it comes to video game characters specifically there was this super horny guy who wrote an article on every anime lady with big tits and all his articles faked their reception sections by stuffing it full of listicles that said nothing besides “woman hot”. I think he got banned over gamergate or something and they looked over his articles again and realized he just wrote BS articles on whatever he gooned to. After that they had to rewrite or delete all his articles. lol. lmao.

Why did some deadbeat fake the release dates for Ninja Storm 2? No, it did not come out in 2011, I was there. Perplexing.

Today's featured article are just pajeets shilling a movie that grossed less than a million dollars at the box office. This does not even remotely come close to even the 50th top grossing movie in India, which brought in roughly 41 million US dollars. There are more popular and profitable jeet movies that provide more education value, one example I'll bring up is Three Idiots from 2009.

Jeets shitting everything up, not even once. We've learned a hard lesson of that with iFunny haven't we...?

This feature has been on their backburner for more than 7 years actually:


Of course the nominator is a nolifer wikipedo jeet himself that supports the lesbian gay tomato bacons. India's government and people are widely known to oppress those people. Here's the userbox:

Autism. The most standard, run of the mill wiki vandalism. I’m surprised you even caught it, 90% of those are reverted immediately by either bots or sweaty fucks watching the global recent changes list

One of my supremely autistic hobbies is clicking the names of “notable people” from small American cities (~50k people). You find some very funny articles that were clearly written by the subject. Just one example:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Farrar

Imagine being some late 50’s nobody musician and taking it upon yourself to write a Wikipedia article about you.

That reminds me when I discover Kat Von D's baby daddy's wiki


Checking out the page's history he must of pissed someone off because they wrote this:

Drama alert! "Israel Lobby in UK" article was change from this:

To this:

Whoever deranged kike edited this, shitstorm is guaranteed, I caught this literally a minute after it happened.

Irish Wikipedia has 6 names of the United States of America on its official page for it.

The name is in English, Spanish, Navajo, Samoan, Chamorro, and Cherokee.

This seems to be standard practice for countries with multiple official languages like Switzerland, I just found it funny that they also did it for the USA as well, since it is known for its monolingualism.

The USA technically don't have an official language, so there could be an extremely long and autistic talk page discussion behind this.

The selection is stupidly arbitrary, since there is no "national language", and it's omitting languages you'll see in government offices and documents like French and Filipino. If you're going by official languages at the state level, you'd have to add Hawaiian and Sioux and drop Cherokee which isn't an official language. Oh, and you'd have to add like a dozen Indian and Eskimo languages because they're all official in Alaska.

This doesn’t make any sense to me, considering that while English isn’t the official language, it is the only culturally and socially enforced language of the United States (and really, should be the US’s official language). You could even make an argument for Spanish, since despite the prevailing opinion being, “Speak English like a normal person,” Spanish is the most common second language and the 2nd most common first language in America. Everything else is just libshit pandering.

I can sorta understand Spanish given that it’s by far the most common US language after English, but the Native American ones are kinda baffling. You might as well hunt down the name of the country in every Native American language and make the list as long as the Iliad.

Looks like some kind of creepypasta abomination. Something that abducts MLP characters and rectally probes them.

Wikipedia should never be trusted at least when it comes to things such as social issues and history (it's good for math and the hard sciences because you cannot bullshit your way in math or a field of science like physics).

There's a very good reason why your high school teachers and your college professors tell you to don't cite Wikipedia unless you want an 'F-' because anyone with half a brain can edit stuff there. Just look at their article for Gamergate, it only tells half the story and they don't want to acknowledge the shenanigans that Left did during the Gamergate drama.

If you want to use Wikipedia to cite stuff related to science and math then sure go ahead, it's silly to insert your partisan politics into abstract concepts and the hard sciences. But if someone uses Wikipedia to cite stuff in relations to things like social issues or law or history, do laugh at those people that do this because it's a good way to show that someone is a midwit when they cite Wikipedia in relations to those things.
