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.

Wikipedia Hell is neither mere idea nor unknown reality, though it is as close to both as a benevolent razor to a neck. It exists as much as Facebook or your email address, less than poplar trees, Autumn, red wheelbarrows, and raindrops, and more than the color red or Communism. While it is supposed that Jesus can visit the page, as easily as any, visitors cannot find Jesus' Wikipedia page from here. Theoretically Jesus would also be unable to visit his own page.

Someone who is smart and knows generally about anything, but ends up giving either false or too much information.
Example A
Me: Bob, do you know about the Boston Red Sox?
Bob: The Boston Red Sox is an American professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 1901. Their uniform consists of a standard baseball cap and shirt, and specifically red socks, hence the name of the team "Boston Red Sox". The Boston Red Sox is currently a member in the Major League Baseball's American League Eastern Division.
Me: K den.
Example B
Me: What's inside a hot pocket anyways?
Bob: Peanut butter, jelly, and two slices of bread.
Me: That's why it tastes like meat, thanks Human Wikipedia!

Ethan, the researcher, was too afraid of researching what a punky brewster is. He pulled a Wikipedia style.

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.
"I googled 'Roald Amundsen' and knew I'd gone down a 'Wikipedia rabbit hole' when I ended up reading the lyrics to the 'Star Spangled Banner'."

Something that has enough importance to actually be on Wikipedia, in contrast to what you can find no trace of on there. Hence, "worthy of Wikipedia," or Wikipedia-worthy. Since users from across the world can edit or add to Wikipedia, the lack of information on a specific topic marks its sheer unimportance or obscurity.
Person 1: Hey, listen to this band, it's great.
Person 2: Are you kidding me? It's not Wikipedia-worthy; I just checked.
Person 1: Come on, man, give it a try. No one knows who they are, but they're so awesome.
