Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

[DadaistVizor]

This is a legitimate article on Thompson/Center Arms.

But wtf is up with this opening paragraph, especially the last half? There's some serious autism going on here.

It seems like this is another case of an autist inserting himself into a Wikipedia article.

The edit was made by an anonymous user and I couldn't find any reliable sources to support the claim that a man named Emmett Ronaine was the founder of Thompson/Center Arms.

Another user deleted the Emmett Ronaine references in the opening paragraph, but for some reason did not remove "Emmett Ronaine founded the company." from the History section.

There's an editing war going on at Wikipedia regarding Hillary Clinton's involvement in flag burning bill

That (rejected) bill wasn't even harmful as being unconstitutional, because it was clearly limited in scope to speech that was already found to be constitutionally unprotected under the Brandenburg standard imo. So there was really not very much harm in co-sponsoring it by anyone involved. It was just kind of dumb, not particularly useful, and didn't pass because apparently, Congress wisely decided it had better things to do with its time.

Toast, being an inanimate object, lacks both the ability and the desire to right itself.

Good thing Wikipedia cleared that up for me.

From the article Psychology of eating meat

Taste and texture are self-reported to be important factors in food choice, although this may not accurately reflect consumer behavior.[28] Consumers describe meat as "chewy", "tender", and "rich".[24][29] In the United Kingdom, meat is traditionally considered to taste good.[8] People experience the taste and texture of meat in significantly different ways, with variations across ages, genders, and cultures.[30] Tenderness is perhaps the most important of all factors impacting meat eating quality, with others being flavor, juiciness, and succulence.[21]

In the United Kingdom, meat is traditionally considered to taste good.

This, for the moment, has Chris Chan in the list of alumni

I find it hilarious that there are people I have seen on television who would know who I meant if I mentioned "that weird Sonichu guy". There are American Football players who may have actually been in close contact with The Classic.

The heroine of the series and a succubus. While only 10 years of age, Astarotte is told that she needs to begin building a harem because when she fully matures, her body will require a regular supply of semen to keep from wasting away, much like a vampire requires blood.

Why does this garbage have a Wikipedia page?

I was hoping there would be some weird controversy going on in the talk page, but it's almost blank

I admit it's out of my field of expertise, but I've deferred to their discussion group on anime and manga articles as to whether or not this is notable. My gut says that a manga from a notable publisher, which has also appeared in a notable magazine, might have a few sources out there to prop it up into a decent article, regardless of the manga's actual content.

This, however, is not a decent article. It'd probably better off to just whack all the character shit out of there and leave it as a stub. But again, not my field of expertise, so I think it'd be better to run it by a more informed crowd for cleanup.

Remember when Hillary told Trump on Twitter to "delete [his] account?" Wikipedia once had an article on "Delete Your Account."

Edit: Speaking of Presidents, they're EXTREMELY fucking autistic about that. Like really really autistic.

 

[Darwin Watterson]

Someone went to the trouble of replicating this shot exactly for the fucking article. The comparison itself is helpful, but I just can't imagine anybody doing this and not having severe autism. I just imagine them taking cap after cap because the crabs weren't perfectly aligned or some shit.

Also, the new one on the bottom somehow manages to look shittier than the PS1 version.

There's an article on the phrase "You kids get off my lawn!"

There's an article on the phrase "You kids get off my lawn!"

So do "no comment," "meanwhile, back at the ranch," "I say it's spinach" (a phrase I've never heard of), and a shit-ton of others. They also have an article on "all caps" and one on the concept of referring to someone undergoing cancer treatment as a "battle."

Wikipedia's article on "battle with cancer" is indicative that they're losing THEIR battle with useless information clutter.

The deletionists were right all along, and now it's too late to do anything.
