Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

öälälöäläö.png

Visiting Laurence Olivier's Wikipedia page I thought it was a little bit weird that it didn't have an info box (it used to) since pretty much all other well-known and many not so well-known figures do and I assumed it was mandatory to include one once an article reached a certain length. So I went on the Talk page and it turns out that for one reason or the other, some users, particularly the user who first removed it, are really adamant about this particular page not having an info box:

"Once again, I don’t have any stakes here. I don’t care about Olivier, infoboxes, or the integrity of Wikipedia editing. But to an average user, this article looks sloppy—and if you read the Talk page, silly." :agree:

So basically an autistic lunatic has decided, based on nothing but his own personal opinion, that this article shouldn't have an infobox, and starts autistically screeching at anyone who tries to add one, declaring it "consensus" when they can't stand his autism any more and give up.

Two autistic lunatics, one of whom appears to be a wikipedo power-editor from his unique font.

Also the editor that started seems to be a complete dick. He has this habit of starting rows with people by editing their contributions, then acting aggrieved when they get hostile, accusing them of being.... Trolls!.

I remember Cassianto. They have a block log the length of a leg for their history of personally attacking other editors and edit warring (since 2014). No surprise they're at it again.

So I was looking up a manga on Wikipedia after hearing about it online out of curiosity to see what it's about and it seemed pretty normal at first.

Simple description of the plot and the listing of the volumes release dates, information, etc. all that.

But then I read the rather out-of-the-ordinary 'In Popular Culture' section and saw this.

Seems more like something from a TV Tropes article than Wikipedia. Considering its such an obscure reference that probably only five people in total got from the show. It just sticks out like a sore thumb, all of a sudden you're reading the summary of an obscure manga and bam, Gumball reference.

Also how the hell do they know its a reference to this manga? There isn't even any citations. With that logic I can just edit in any reference I want.
