wikipedia

An online encyclopedia project where anyone (registered or UNregistered users alike) can change the content at will. Often used by grade, high school or college students who don't want to write and research their own assignments and who don't care if the facts are accurate in any way.

Wikipedia Race

A game involving two or more players with an equal amount of internet compatible computers. Two random words are selected (i.e. salmon/electromagnet. or deviled eggs/vietnam) by any means the players see fit. Then the race is on. You go to the wikipedia page of the first word. From that point you can only use links within that page, and successive pages to reach the second word. You may not use the search function. Obviously, first person to the second word wins. This is a great drinking game, if you have more than one computer.

wikipedian theory

The theory which states that any factual based paper (or assignment) can be written based on information obtained from Wikipedia.

Bob: "Hey did you read the book for the paper?"

John: "Nah. I'm going to use Wikipedian theory."

Wikipediagnostics

Surely claiming someone (even self) is ill while not having proper (if any) medical background, just by using Wikipedia descriptions of symptoms.

Could be used for faking social charges and hunting down people for fun.

Alex copied link to 'Shizophrenia' Wiki page on his social network wall and added: 'See, our patient Bob is clearly very sick and therefore dangerous for us all'
'Wikipediagnostics' sighed Bob while reading rising wave of hatred in comments.

Wikipedia Challenge

A game in which two people are on a specific Wikipedia page, and see who can get to another chosen Wikipedia page using only hyperlinks found in the articles in between. The one who gets to the designated page first wins.

Person 1: Gary and Jim were playing the Wikipedia Challenge in history class today. I've never seen anyone click hyperlinks so fast!
Person 2: I know, man! He got from potato to Hitler in 5 clicks!

wikipedia choose your own adventure

Noun. When you find a concept that a person who is brilliant wrote, that you don't understand. You open the wikipedia article about that concept, and open tabs in your browser for all of the links in that wikipedia article that you also don't understand. Eventually, you have 25 tabs open and you hit the terminal point where you understand, then you work your way backwards through the other 24 tabs until you understand it all. Choose your own adventure books were books that had many possible endings depending on the pages you chose. They were entertainment circa 1985.

How does MD5 hashing work? It uses one way functions...How do one way functions work? Uh oh, time for a wikipedia choose your own adventure.
