wikipedia

Potential source of knowledge ruined by administrators who treat the encyclopedia like a tabletop RPG, penalizing users and IP addresses for what they deem inappropriate behavior.

I keep getting banned from wikipedia because the admins have nothing better to do.

wikipedia

An encyclopedia made by somebody who knew what the fuck they were doing. It's the "almighty encyclopedia"...for it knows all...even knows what the hell oral sex is.

It also responsible for saving countless students' lives everywhere and giving people great info, like cannabis cultivation.

Wikipedia is replacing book encyclopedias 1 volume at a time.

Wikipedia Rathole

The act of losing between 45-120 minutes while performing click-throughs from the initial Wikipedia page you were interested in.... often leading you to knowledge that has no relationship what-so-ever to your original search.

Man, I was lost 2 hours and missed a meeting because I went down a Wikipedia Rathole. However, I do now know that Richie Sambora is was born in Woodbridge, NJ.

NOTE: Original search was snow fall amounts in the NE.
