Top Ten Worst Things About Wikipedia

I love Wikipedia as much as the next person, but that doesn't make it any less annoying than the rest of the big websites out there.

Vote for Vandalism 1) Vandalism

On my school computers, someone vandalized ’Mr. T’ and then when I logged on, I got banned somehow!

I once looked up John Lennon, the musician, and someone had replaced his entire youth with a biography of John Lenin, founder of the USSR. I hate Wikivandals.

ugh duh this is the worst thing about it!

Vote for People Who Take The Site Way Too Seriously 2) People Who Take The Site Way Too Seriously

All it takes for you to delete their (non-constructive) edit before they start harping on you, saying you’re destorying their right to free speech, or claim that there is an underground conspiracy against them.


Vote for Factual Inaccuracies 3) Factual Inaccuracies

there are some untrue info from this site so evidences must support the idea of the writer involved

Vote for Incomplete Details 4) Incomplete Details

very incomplete details about the release date, cd, album, dvd, cover, contents, singer, band, discography.

I see lots of em in wiki

Vote for Overzealous admins 6) Overzealous admins

The website claims that all users should practice civility towards other users. Evidently that doesn’t apply to administrators. About 75% are some of the most power-hungry emotionally-unstable people out there. All you have to do is disagree with them once, and BAM! You’re gone for life


Vote for Copyright Paranoia 7) Copyright Paranoia

stupidity!

For a free-content encyclopedia that allows you to plagarize its content, they sure have an awful big fit if you don’t put every little letter into your own words, and than pounce on you for POV violations.


Vote for Userbox wars 8) Userbox wars

Anyone who was a member in 2005 remembers how controversial userboxes were. People thought that it was worth banning members and doing mass deletions over a set of harmless HTML. Such drama!


Vote for Willy on Wheels 9) Willy on Wheels

The infamous page-move vandal now has millions of unoriginal, uncreative clones. Boring!


Vote for Political Pushers 10) Political Pushers

Ah yes, the ones whose lives revolve around Googling stuff they agree with, and pushing it onto other people. Seriously, read the rules folks. Your essay about how the War in Iraq was the right way to go or the vast Anti-Communist conspiracy doesn’t belong.

Choices Not In The Top Ten

Vote for Stephen Colbert 11) Stephen Colbert

While most of his observations are dead-on about the site, it’s annoying have to deal with his fans who insist on vandalizing every darn page on there to upgrade it to "Truthiness."

Vote for Image Fair Use Policy 12) Image Fair Use Policy

It’s funny watching them change their policy on what images can and cannot be used every other day, and then complain that Wikipedia’s articles are useless without images.

Vote for Capital letters, ALL CAPS, small caps of an item 13) Capital letters, ALL CAPS, small caps of an item

Vote for Japanese, English, etc Wikipedia have very different articles regarding an item 14) Japanese, English, etc Wikipedia have very different articles regarding an item
