Wikipedia Degree

When the bulk of one's knowledge in a particular subject has been obtained from Wikipedia.
Joe: I hear Frank split the atom in his basement!
George: Yeah, he's got his Wikipedia degree in Nuclear Physics.

Wikipedia race

A fun little game to play, where two or more people set a starting page and an ending page, both of which are titles of articles on Wikipedia. Then, using only the links within the text of the article, the goal is to find a way to the ending page before your competitor(s).
A sample Wikipedia race:
Start: Roger Federer
End: Internet

One way is: Roger Federer, to Switzerland, to Europe, to North America, to United States, to Culture of the United States, to Internet!

wikipedia bender

An hours-long plumbing of the depths of Wikipedia. One interesting article links to another and before you know it you've wasted the whole day. Often facilitated by mild stimulants, such as caffeine.
I just wanted to know the difference between bourbon and whiskey. The next thing I knew, my browser had dozens of tabs open on topics including Aegeus the goat-man, the 1932 Summer Olympics, and a list of the tallest structures in Norway. I was on a wikipedia bender.

Wikipedia Editors

Possibly the most sensitive group of people on the internet. They're very territorial about the stuff that they write on an article, and anyone who challenges them with corrections to something they wrote will be regarded by the website's terms as "Vandals". And they'll then try to get you banned from editing or posting anything to the site.
I once made a correction to something on Wikipedia, and the Wikipedia Editors work that I changed reported me and got me banned by claiming that I was Vandalizing the article.
