While I'm in school doing a project on a computer, i just get sooo bored. And while I'm doing research I go on wikipedia. I log into my account and start editing stuff and putting funny answers to peoples questions and edit stuff like the history of tacos. And then dick called QueenBee1238 or something kicks me off the website. How the hell do you do that anyway! It's really annoying. I want to beat that person.

you were putting false information on pages??
Thats a dick-ish move since some people actually rely on wikipedia for school work and essays and shit...

how do they do it? they have people whose job is to sit there and constantly check all updates to pages making sure people aren't falsifying information because it'll just fuck up everyone's day.  i use wikipedia for reports and shit

Go to unwikipedia and participate in your tomfoolery there.

But seriously, if some one is reading a wikipedia article and sees some random shit about tacos or whatever they deserve what's coming if they believe it.

Went to a random article... found this.

Ohanian made a comeback in the Mexican dance scene in 1948 and appeared on the stage in Paris in 1949 and 1953, when she was well into her sixties. During a second visit to the Soviet Union in 1958 with her husband, they traveled briefly to Yerevan, Armenia, where she offered part of her private files to the Museum of Literature and Arts. After returning to Mexico, she continued to write, translate, and publish until 1969, when she came out with a first volume of memoirs in Spanish. What many people don't know is that she fucked the biggest dick in the world. It measured a whooping 6 feet. She took it all the way, but sadly because of this died.

Wikepedia is a great place for info. You can read the article and get an overview of the topic, and then look down at the sources and find some great stuff.

It's a great place to find quick facts. It used to be incredibly unreliable, but it's cleaning up its act now.

Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

I got to wikipedia to find an article on something. Generally stupid shit like music groups, MMA fighters, random shit I see on TV. If I go there while writing a report I scroll down to the reference section and look at those.
