Wikipedia Attack 

Going to Wikipedia with the intention of quickly looking up some facts or background on a given topic or person and getting sucked into article after article with each article getting farther away from the topic you originally looked up. A typical Wikipedia attack will last at least 30-45 minutes.
"I'm late because I wanted to double check Whoppi Goldberg's birthday but I had a Wikipedia attack and by the time you called me to see why I was late I was reading about UPS."

Wikipedia Bitch 

Someone who changes information on Wikipedia, most likely false information, solely for the purpose of winning an argument.
I was arguing with Mikey about James Bond being on the Sargent Pepper's album cover. So I excused myself to use the bathroom and just changed the wikipedia article on my iPhone, thus proving that I was right. I'm such a Wikipedia Bitch.
