Ah, Wikipedia, the crowning jewel of the internet's dissemination of knowledge, or so it proclaims. Here, in this vast expanse of cyberspace, self-proclaimed enlightened geniuses appoint themselves as the gatekeepers of truth. With a flourish of their keyboards, they weave narratives, handpicking sources with the precision of artists selecting their colors, ensuring each one aligns perfectly with their carefully curated perspectives. These chosen facts, plucked from the tree of knowledge with discerning taste, are then presented to the world as irrefutable truths, as if etched into the very fabric of reality by the quill of knowledge itself. Venture forth to challenge these sacred scriptures, and find yourself embarking on a quixotic quest. For to question the gospel according to Wikipedia's elite is to commit digital heresy. Attempt to rectify, to edit, to dare suggest an alternative view, and watch as the guardians of this digital domain descend upon you. With a few swift keystrokes, they smite your contributions, casting them into the abyss of the internet's forgotten memories.
And should you persist, daring to challenge the sanctity of their so-called facts, a more severe punishment awaits. Your very means of contribution, is excommunicated. Your IP address, now deemed a heretic’s banner, is banished, cast out into the outer darkness of the online world. There, you'll find yourself among the other lost souls who dared to question, to challenge, to think differently.

Thus, Wikipedia stands, a towering ivory tower of self-righteous knowledge, its foundations supported by the echoes of those it has silenced. It remains an untouchable church of information, where only the anointed may preach. Here, in this pantheon of selective truth, the power of knowledge is wielded like a sword, cutting down dissenters and elevating the chosen narratives to the status of holy writ.

Get the Wikipediamug. That one website that your English teacher will just never let you use for one fucking project even though it's literally the easiest and most accessible website that anyone can think of.
English Teacher: "If you credit Wikipedia as a source, you're automatically getting an F on this assignment."
Literally every student's thought: "Fuck. Off."

Get the Wikipediamug. A game you play on wikipedia.org when you're exceptionally bored. It has two variants:
1. Start on any topic, scroll a bit, and click on the first hyperlink you see. Either repeat for a certain amount of time (say 10 or 15 minutes, but can be more or less) or for a certain number of clicks (usually in the 20-click range but can be more or less) and see where you end up.
2. Start on any topic and try to get to any other topic (called the destination) in under a certain amount of clicks (7 is good to start). Common destinations include Jesus, Nazi Germany, USA, ect. Basically, any well-known/really annoying thing is a perfect destination.
Once you get to your end article, either read it or play again, starting from your new article.

Get the Wikipedia On Topmug. A topical progression that leads into infinite topical regress which begins with an inquiry into factual content about one specific topic that leads into factual content about multiple related sub-topics, sub-sub-topics, and ad infinitum sub-sub-topics.
