Wiki Quest

Reading Wikipedia articles, and following links to other Wikipedia articles, for no other purpose than to kill time or learn new, random stuff.

On a wiki quest I discovered what "faunoiphilia" meant.

Wiki Golf

Choosing two completely random pages on wikipedia and seeing how many pages it takes you to get from one to the other using only links from the page you're on.

I was playing Wiki Golf the other day and went from Elton John to Phosphoric Acid in 13 pages.

Wiki NAZI

A person - usually a complete loser - who considers it of the utmost importance to make sure Wikipedia doesn't become good in any way shape or form. This is achieved through the practice of deleting photos, links, and entire paragraphs of text. In extreme cases entire articles are removed for the fulfillment of their vision of Encyclopedic purification. Other roles involve abusing other contributors, citing Copyright information as a basis for deletion of said contributor's work, questioning the beliefs of others and general wanker-like behaviour.

wiki-snob

Academics who feel that anything found in the wikipedia is suspect because it wasn't written by a committe of fat-cat, overpaid, grant-hogging professors whose prusuit of pseudo science is endandering science funding everywhere.

Don: Don't cite the wikipedia in Dr. Patterson's class. He's such a wiki-snob that he will trash everything you have to say.

Ron: He's such a crappy teacher that the only way they can get anyone to sign up for his classes is to put "to be announced" on the instructor line of the schedule.

wiki walk

Randomly following Wikipedia links and reading articles, which ends up wasting a lot of time.

The longer the walk, the more unrelated the articles become.

I meant to read one article, but ended up on a wiki walk for the afternoon.

wiki-nazi

A member(s) of wikia.org or another wiki website who think that they are the only source of correct information on the entire website, they are most likely at mod or admin status, i.e. abusing their power. They will delete any and all contributions that aren't made by them or another mod/admin.

"Yo, check this wiki entry I made, *finds page deleted by wiki-nazi*, fucking wiki-nazis!
