Wikipedigree

A degree earned by reading about something on Wikipedia, thus confirming one's status as an expert on the subject.

I have a Wikipedigree in over five subjects, including The Boston Tea Party, Lance Armstrong, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Marijuana Cultivation, and Frankincense.

Wikipidiot

Someone who will believe ANYTHING they read on Wikipedia, never considering the fact that ANYONE can edit it and articles can be sabotaged or based on false information.

Creating your own Wikipedia entry is an effective tool for political debate online, as there are plenty of Wikipidiots out there who will believe anything they read on there.

wikipath

The path one takes through Wikipedia from one article to the next, usually due to interest in related articles linked throughout the initial article. Similar to Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Has the potential to consume hours of one's life.

I love alcohol and I want to know more about it, so I search for alcohol on Wikipedia. While reading on alcohol I find another article I am interested in (hangover) and in that article I find another (diarhhea), and so on. This is just one of many wikipath's that may originate from the article on alcohol:

*Alcohol
*Hangover
*Diarhhea
*Infective diarhhea
*Immodium AD (loperamide)
*Opioid
*Opiate
*Codeine
*Ceiling effect
*Morphine
*Morpheus

Wikiate

To promote as fact information that is patently wrong, and comes from an unreliable or suspect source.

Don't believe anything John says about pop music. He doesn't have a clue, but will wikiate at every opportunity. Last week he said the Guess Who split off from the Who.
