The Wikipedia Game

A game that is played on the website Wikipedia.org. In this game, two or more people go from one Wikipedia page to the other by clicking on the blue highlighted words. The starting and finishing pages are determined by either clicking on the random page option or simply by choosing pages in advance. The winner is determined either by who gets to the finishing page in the shortest amount of time, or by who gets there with the fewest clicks. If one computer is faster or slower than the other, it is more reasonable to decide the winner by number of clicks. You cannot use search or the toolbox list of links. You can only go back if the page hasnt fully loaded or if it is a dead end. It is a good game to play when you are supposed to be working.

Jeff got from Willy Wonka to Optimus prime in only seven clicks! Now that is impressive!

By the time Phil got to Giraffe, Katie was stuck on Norwegian Desserts. She sucks at the Wikipedia Game.

wikipedia

Wikipedia is the academic equivalent of asking your friend or a group of your friends for information on a subject. Sometimes you get really smart insightful intelligent answers and sometimes you get complete garbage.

Simulation of asking wikipedia/a friend a question:

Hey, who was Robert Murdoch anyway?
Oh, hes that guy that owns Fox News and burger king or something in Australia I think. He was on the simpsons that time, remember?

Wikipedia Theory

The theory that all Wikipedia pages are somehow connected to others by links, and that you can get from one to another just by clicking links on each one.

I used the Wikipedia Theory to click my way from the article about unicorns to the one about the Apple iPad.

Wikipedia Attack

Going to Wikipedia with the intention of quickly looking up some facts or background on a given topic or person and getting sucked into article after article with each article getting farther away from the topic you originally looked up. A typical Wikipedia attack will last at least 30-45 minutes.

"I'm late because I wanted to double check Whoppi Goldberg's birthday but I had a Wikipedia attack and by the time you called me to see why I was late I was reading about UPS."

wikipediac

Someone who has a limited knowledge on a vast spectrum of
subjects, mainly obtained by hours of surfing Wikipedia.
This person usually retains only one or two key footnotes on
any particular subject, yet they consider themselves "smart".

Debbie: "Ughhhhh! Here comes Dave, the walking wikipediac.
I wonder what he's going to bore us with this time..."

Dave: "Did you know that state highway 143 near Salina, Ks
uses 3 different types of pavement in its 4.6 miles?"

Cherie: "Oh, Dave, you're such a wikipediac!"
