wikisession

Finding your way to a page on Wikipedia, and following from link to link for countless hours until you know everything about a subject, and probably a lot more about something else.

Dude, I just took a major wikisession and now I know everything there ever was to know about the Soviet Union.

Wikilepsy

The uncontrollable clicking caused by the highlighted links in any Wikipedia article, or similar wiki-type website, resulting in hours spent following a chain of subjects not related to the initial search.

"I wanted to research the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Three hours of clicking later, and I'm reading about 'William Howard Taft' and 'Taylor Hanson', and 'Lesbianism in Erotica'. It was a serious case of Wikilepsy."

Wikiwashed

A person that uses Wikipedia for most of their academic or assignment research - who does not understand the information may not be credible due to the nature of how it is added to the web.

Jimmy is Wikiwashed that article from Wikipedia is totally inaccurate and biased. What he thinks is fact is really a lot of rubbish.

wikicreeping

When you discover an actor/artist and quickly go on wikipedia to wikicreep on them, learning about their childhood, their parents, grandparents, siblings, dog that died at age 14, first kiss, favorite color, size of shoe, how their best friend's uncle got them a job at the restaurant where a modeling agent discovered them...

At the end you feel like you know way too much and not enough about this complete stranger who has no idea who you are and that you now know about the time they got pants'd at that party in high school.

Person1: Jennifer Connelly is hot.

Person2: Yeah, you should see Requiem for a Dream.

Person1: (8 minutes later) I just wikicreeped the hell out of her...apparently Requiem is considered her breakout role. Did you know she has 3 kids? She grew up in Brooklyn. She also released a record in Japan...in Japanese.

---

Person1: What're you doing?

Person2: Just wikicreeping on that brown kid from One Direction.

Wikimpeding

The act of looking up a Wikipedia article either aimlessly or for a specific purpose (academia, research, etc.), and subsequently becoming engrossed in random articles ensuing from one's clicking of new links in each article that somehow sparked their interest; thus impeding your original efforts or simply prolonging them unnecessarily. Will often result in entire afternoons or evenings wasted, which were originally intended to be spent studying or doing something more productive- although one may have learned a few cool things in the process.

It can probably be attributed to Wikipedia's simplicity, vast information archives, and aesthetic value.

Cletus: Damn! I was just looking up the wikipedia article on quantum mechanics to get some ideas to help me start my research paper...now here I am 28 pages and 4 hours later on the article for the Shaq-Kobe feud.

Jimmy Wales: Wikimpeding strikes again! Muahahahahahaha!
