Dagobahn Eagle Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Post amusing features of Wikipedia here. I'll start with a list of Finnish profanity! Uh, no. See forum rule #4 --Jae --Aw, come on, Jae, it's in Finnish:rolleyes:! () Yeah, but the article and definitions were in English, including the words in all their glory.... --Oh, you mean like ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, horse's ****, bull****, ****'s berries, **** this ****, and ***? I see them now. Don't forget *****, ****, ****, smurf, *******, and ****. Not to mention this little tidbit on courtesy and manners that I particularly like.

Sabretooth Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I like hunting Paraphilias. I also like putting up lots of userboxes on my profile (User:Sabretooth) and typing in stuff that I already know, only to get a more holistic view of life. <_< >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reclaimer Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 No, they removed it. It was some guy ranting about hXc dancing and how it ruined his life. It turned into a chat box, funny stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ^ I can't tell you how many times I've gone off on a wiki-tangent looking for 1 particular subject and 45 minutes later found myself in a totally different subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 jmac: ! Goes pretty well with the Wikington Crescent game, does it not? Not to mention the many great tags. The variations of 'this article sucks' are my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much interesting stuff on that site. By the way, that tag gave the thread a cozy Wikipedia-ish feeling. Can't we do the same thing here, have Jae and ET Warrior script us some boxes and put them in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentScope001 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Read the talk pages of any Article that has the NPOV tag. Fun to read arguments arguing for one side or another instead of, I don't know, trying to make the article netural! Also, do a quick check at the past revisions of any Wikipedia article to locate any sort of fringe viewpoint that may be laughable...or slightly revealing. Heh, any sort of wikidrama is just fun to read. If you are really bored, check at Deletions or Arby's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbieZ Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Im afraid the same happened to me. I started looking at the history of my local town and ended up knowing and understanding the entire 2001 and 2010 Space Odyssey plots, understanding particle acceleration, learning about vacuums and knowing everything that will happen to this earth past the year 2500.
