Wiki-trance

A hypnotic state, characterized by aimless clicking through Wikipedia for hours on end. May cause loss-of-sleep
Last night around 10:00 pm I was looking up The Critic TV show on Wikipedia. Before I knew it, it was 12:15 am and I knew a little more about Walt Disney, the Epcott Centre and Scooby Doo. Where did those two hours go? They were lost in a Wiki-trance !

Wiki Citers

1. A lazy class of Wikipedia Editors that take no time to research content, but rather vandalize a Wiki article with numerous "Citations Needed" Tags. 2. People that do not contribute in any meaningful way to Wiki profiles. 3. So-Called Editors that place "Citations Needed" tags on common info that can not be sourced. 4. Vandals.
Wiki Citers are such a waste of life. It would take 5 minutes to find valid sources to backup profile content. Instead they just blanket the profiles with Citations Needed tags, instead of helping Wiki's look professional.
