Wiki Wank

A deliberate alteration of an article found in Wikipedia often in the form of vandalism, damage control or to add a "spin" to a subject or movement.

Wikipedia is edited by anonymous users and sometimes "editors" modify listings in Wikipedia to suit an agenda or for mere sport, mockery or as vandals.

Such a modification is called a "Wiki Wank"

OMG! Did you see the screenshot of the Wikipedia page about the Obama? It said on Wikipedia that Obama started world war 2! Apparently it didn't get noticed or changed for 3 months...what a perfect Wiki Wank!
