I thought Yetis and Sasquatches were the same thing, like how Europeans call Moose "Elk". :confused:

Elk and deer are both words that used to refer to all large wild animals fyi~

Yeah but think of how many worthless 10,000 word articles there are on different animes and imagine what wikipedia would be like if that effort were instead expended on providing citations and improvements to articles about poo poo that actually matters

do you really think the dude who spends 3 hours a day rewriting the nauto anime article has any capacity to do anything outside anime

are you familiar with "idiot savants"

then it'd be the german wikipedia, seriously


An idiot savant would be more like Rainman. Retarded outside of some ability.
And I doubt too many of them are outright retarded like Chris-chan.
I think it's mostly people who fall into Wikipedia like it was a PvP MMO. Everything is power plays and internal politics.

I think in the end it's largely misplaced motivation, and Motivation is Everything.

all the good wikipedia articles are completely untouched by the people who spend 5000 hours working on the article for some anime series.

in a system where anyone can contribute, people who only know sperg stuff will only write about sperg stuff. if you block them from writing that, they simply won't write for wikipedia

whenever the complaint is made "there's a ton of useless poo poo on wikipedia" someone trots out that lovely line "lol the guy updating naruto biographies doesn't know poo poo about the third reich!!!" which misses the point entirely and begs the goddamn question of why there are incredibly detailed biographies of fictional characters in the "sum total of human knowledge"

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

the sum total of human knowledge by definition includes a shitload of useless things.

the problem with doing that is that wikipedia has no concept of spoilers

if you honestly care about spoilers you suck.

why would a "encyclopedia" care about spoilers anyway. go use a fanwiki instead

Near Williamsburg, Virginia, whiteout conditions around 9:00 am EST, February 10, led to a fifty-car pileup on a stretch of westbound I-64. The accident took hours to clear, and seven people suffered minor injuries requiring hospitalization.[14] The blizzard has been credited with the formation of the BCS (Beer-Pong Championship Series) in Charlottesville, Virginia.
