Wikipedia

The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. One of the several sites in the whole Wikimedia project. The all-knowing site on the Internet. You've got questions, it's got answers. Basically, it's the Internet's equivalent of God.

Wikipedia even has an article about this website, Urban Dictionary.

Wikipedia

A unique article-making web site where it has anything. You can make articles, anyone can make articles, talk about the articles you, your friend, or a total stranger, has posted. The disadvantage of anyone can edit/make articles is that anyone can post anything that isn't true. However, Wiki's, or how it's abbreviated, users can report an article to a moderator and they will restore the text ASAP or close to the text. Wikipedia is often not trusted on by schools because of that simple disadvantage.

Wikipedia is an awesome web site, despite the fact that's it's user-powered.

Wikipedal

To use Wikipedia articles, with either no or very few changes, in an attempt to submit it as a college or high school paper. Some teachers will catch it and destroy your academic standing and some teachers have no clue and will commend you for your excellent work.

These articles are often filled with blatant lies that we never notice because we do not read them in full.

"My options were nap or write my paper. I napped. Now I have to wikipedal the entire thing."

"I pray to God my teacher doesn't catch me wikipedalling. If she knew I wikipedalled I would be in serious trouble."
