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.

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!”

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.”
3)
Factual Inaccuracies
“there are some untrue info from this site so evidences must support the idea of the writer involved”
4)
Incomplete Details
“very incomplete details about the release date, cd, album, dvd, cover, contents, singer, band, discography.”
“only japanese wikipedia has the largest information, english has lot of details but it lacks”
“there are list of japanese bands in english which is incomplete”
5)
Typos
“I see lots of em in wiki”
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”
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.”
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!”
9)
Willy on Wheels
“The infamous page-move vandal now has millions of unoriginal, uncreative clones. Boring!”
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.”
