To use Wikipedia articles, with either no or very few changes, in an attempt to submit it as a college or high school paper. Some teachers will catch it and destroy your academic standing and some teachers have no clue and will commend you for your excellent work.
These articles are often filled with blatant lies that we never notice because we do not read them in full.

"My options were nap or write my paper. I napped. Now I have to wikipedal the entire thing."
"I pray to God my teacher doesn't catch me wikipedalling. If she knew I wikipedalled I would be in serious trouble."

A "know-it-all" or "Cliff Clavin". Someone who considers themselves to be an expert on everything. A human storehouse of useless trivia, often of dubious veracity.
"That guy is so wikipedic...full of useless information and he never shuts up!"
"Why did I bring that up in front of so-and-so? I thought I'd never hear the end of it from Mrs. Wikipedic."
