When your friend starts rambling about some obscure thing to an obscure subject
Friend: "Did you know that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future uses the CPS3 arcade board, the same thing as Street Fighter 3 runs on?"
Me: "bro stop being a wikipedia page lmao"

Wikipedia Hypnosis

When somebody goes onto Wikipedia to find a specific piece of information and, usually via wikilinks, ends up going off track and going through a bunch of unrelated articles. This can be common among students who have a low attention span or other focus issues.
Person: Hey dude, Imma go onto Wikipedia to find when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Dude: OK, just don't lose track of time.
*20 minutes later*
Person: How am I on an article about racism in Australia?!
Dude: Wikipedia Hypnosis, I presume? You've gotta work on your focus, man.

wikipedia

By the people, but not necessarily for the people. Attempts to define and explain everything, ideally without writing a book on every topic.
Has the same issues as any other democracy or a place, with group majorities - tribalism and its cultural influence: A place were simps, feminists, bitches, are making their tribal biases/opinions 'scientific', while linking what is pretty much their own blog's shitposts for sources; and nerds are trying to make their hobby/area of expertise articles as unreadable as possible for a commoner.

Has a tendency of throwing you into a rabbit whole of information, when you've already forgotten your initial question and have ended up reading articles on ancient Chinese schools of thought for no reason.
I disagree with that wikipedia article, so I've edited the definition to be a more 'objective representation of reality'. Also I'm undoing all the edits that disagree with me, my majority will prevail!

I'm wikipedia-eductated.

Wikipedia

An extremely biased and informational source where everyone is the author. People get loads of information from outside sources and cite them. Are those outside sources reliable? Some are, some are not. They do not have to be
