wikiwash

To edit facts on wikipedia so that they are congruent with misinformation one has put out.

The day after Ruthie said Barack Obama was Osama Bin Laden's first cousin, she pulled it up on Wikipedia and proved that she had read it. We all knew that she went home and wikiwashed the Barack Obama profile.

Wikiwar

When one or more groups of wikinerds engage in battles over the content of an article in wikipedia. The conflict is usually over oposite interpretations of some concept.

The wikiwar raged for months. Neither side was dominant. Finaly, a third party locked the article from further editing. The wikiwar ended...for now.

Wikiwanderung

"Oh I wasted the entire afternoon on one massive Wikiwanderung starting at the 'Tacoma Narrows Bridge' and ending up at 'Fatal Hilarity'."
