Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

Neil Breen's photo on his Wikipedia page is a picture of him blinking:

Pretty appropriate, really.
 
Anything in Scottish dialect wikipedia is fun to read, like the junkies in Trainspotting decided to write an encyclopedia. This one, about the Loch Ness Monster is oddly endearing.

Pure poetry, how can you not love "Nessie is aften thocht tae be a muckle kelpie"?

Glad to see that Wikipedia registers Scottish as the separate language that it is: dialect my ass.
 
Is this factual? I'm too lazy to look it up and just gullible enough to believe a stranger on Kiwi Farms if they tell me it is.
Yep!

The full article's written like someone who's scrambling to prove that it's obsolete, too. Much like the same treatment the word "faggot" got, that ended up bringing it back just because it offends the sort of mongoloid idiots that edit Wikipedia.

edit: In the page's history, there's a deleted line about how mongolisme is still in use as a word for down's syndrome in French, which links to a 2008 article as its reference. Interesting.

The More You Know!
I myself learned this term from looking up the movie "Twisted Nerve" (one the melody they reused for Kill Bill comes from) cause it uses it; don't think russian wikipedia had separate page on that, tho.
Oh I've known the term since I was a kid, I just didn't know it's origins is all. Though I always expected it was a jab at the Mongols.

Wikipedia said:
In various Pokémon media, including the Pokémon Adventures manga and the Pokémon X and Y games, a character named AZ is cursed with eternal life and wanders in search of his lost Pokémon for the part he played in a war, thus sharing similar qualities with the Wandering Jew.[84]
