Get the Wikionize mug.Wikiality is a term first used on the news program "The Colbert Report" by Stephen Colbert, on Monday, July 31, 2006. Wikiality may be defined as: A reality where, if enough people agree with a notion, it becomes the truth. It is generally believed to be a portmanteau of the words "Wikipedia" and "reality".
Wikiality is an interesting concept derived from the theory of cultural relativity. It is based on the grounds of popular truth. If something is written on Wikipedia, then it is accepted on truth. Therefore, it can be assumed that everything on Wikipedia is the truth. However, anyone can edit Wikipedia. In such case, anyone can edit the truth (in theory).

Get the wikiality mug.Reality as determined by general consensus rather than cold hard facts. If enough people say it is true, then it is true.
The population of elephants in Africa has tripled in the past six months. Colbert and all Heroes know this to be true, despite the absence of facts to back up this opinion. "Vandalizing" the Wikipedia entry to reflect this wikiality is a perfectly valid thing to do.

Get the wikiality mug.When looking up Chemtrails I found another one of their Wikilies in Wikipedia; they say "The United States Air Force maintains that the Chemtrail theory is a hoax which has been investigated and refuted by many established and accredited universities, scientific organizations, and major media publications", quoting the 'Contrail Facts' publication by the military which clearly defines contrails as chemtrails.
