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."

wikipedagogue

One whose seemingly broad range of knowledge was actually gained by reading nothing but Wikipedia entries; one whose dogmatic proclamtions of slightly (or blatantly) incorrect facts are supported only through the covert citation of unsupported sources.

When his essay on Nietzsche's "Gay Science" inexplicably mentioned Alan Turing, I suspected the author was a Wikipedagogue.

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!"

Wikipedia Rabbit Hole

It's not just a hole. It's a rabbit hole, akin to the one Alice fell down to Wonderland.

I enjoy falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes because I never know where I may end up.
