Wikipedia Trap

Failing to accomplish any significant reading on Wikipedia due to following related links, perusing only the intro to each article, and in doing so, straying far from the original topic.

I logged on to Wikipedia and searched credit default swaps. Ten minutes later I was reading about bisexuality in the 1800s. Hate the wikipedia trap.

WikiSnob

A snob who trolls facebook comments for any reference to Wikipedia as a source, always to denounce any fact, however true it might be, merely because it has been sourced to Wikipedia, ignoring the fact that the supercomputer Watson, which cannot be beaten by humans on the television show "Jeopardy," uses Wikipedia, as well as other internet resources, to destroy its human challengers

I commented to the global warming theory-denying Ph.D. that he probably still thought that the Earth is round, and he said I must've read about global warming on Wikipedia, and when I called him a WikiSnob, he called me an idiot and blocked me. flat-earther Galileo-guard de-evolutionary creationist doctorate of cryptometeorological denialism academic Exxon whore

wikinazi

Wikinazis form 70% of shitholes by Jimmy Wales. Most of them are not sentenced for decades because AMURIKA! Land of freedom!

Some wikinazia are actual professors who aren't fired after that. They have reasons to hide from the police.

Wikinazis is the best word when you see any shady Internet weirdo from Jimmy Wales.

- Somebody is banned within minutes and days by yet another loud wikinazi with a small dick.
- God bless AMURIKA! Everything is fine.

Wikipedia

The best argument against democracy.

Wikipedia is full of edit wars, elitist admins, and non-peer reviewed information.

wiki

1. A collaborative Web site comprised of the perpetual collective work of many authors. Similar to a blog in structure and logic, a wiki allows anyone to edit, delete or modify content that has been placed on the Web site using a browser interface, including the work of previous authors. In contrast, a blog, typically authored by an individual, does not allow visitors to change the original posted material, only add comments to the original content. The term wiki refers to either the Web site or the software used to create the site. The first wiki was created by Ward Cunnigham in 1995

2. Wiki wiki means “quick” in Hawaiian.

3. A person standing behind the wicket in cricket.

Look at the Paki wiki, he cant catch the ball for shit!

wikiball

A computer game (invented at Seattle Academy) where one searches through wikipedia via quick links in order to go from a set search (point a) to a set finishing point (point b) without using the back button, ctrl+f function, URL or any other search methods. The game is perfect as a classtime distraction due to its educational appearance.
