Wiki-bombing

Intentionally adding false, semi-believable "facts" onto a wikipedia page hoping it will become an accepted truth.

"Dude did you hear Barack Obama once slapped a white baby for crying too loud in church?"

"where did you hear that?"

"wikipedia"

wiki-vortex

Searching wikipedia for a specific subject but clicking on a link within the article and following on through an increasingly tangenital succession of information.

I skipped lunch today because a search for foods containing HDL's led me into a wiki-vortex. I'm still hungry, but now I have a fractal understanding of neuro-science.

Wiki Dive

When someone intentionally jumps into an online user collaborative encyclopedia to research one thing that blows up into researching multiple subjects.

Brian: Dude, you weren't on the psn last night. Where were you?

Roy: Yeah, I took a wiki dive on "The Fight: Lights out" and ended up reading everything on the video game fighting genre.

The act of reading a Wikipedia page, then following a link to another Wikipedia page of related interest, then from this page following another link. Eventually you end up an hour later reading stuff completely irrelevant to what you originally looked up!

Jr - Hey, what took you so long?

Ash - Man, I was looking up electronic fuel injection on Wikipedia and ended up reading about independent Pacific island communities 40 minutes later.

Jr - Whoa, you were well and truly Wiki-pulled
