I find it incredibly suspicious that such a large section of this wikipedia page is dedicated to gushing over Nazi uniforms when the Nazis were clearly not the only or most notable people using ceremonial batons as part of their military uniforms for high ranking people.
people who edit Wikipedia should, you know, get on this.

You can call me a nerd but people who don't edit Wikipedia will never know the hype of researching some obscure bug with a global population of 9 called the kosovan accountant weevil or something for like half an hour and then you finally find that one site that has actual information on it

I am happy to report that both the English and Swedish versions of Anthony Johnson Showalter's Wikipedia page no longer misattributes his birthplace of Cherry Grove as being in Virginia rather than Pendleton County, West Virginia

so there's this thing which I've dubbed academic fiction, where I write a long, precise academic paper, confirming to your citation model of choice and everything, except every single thing in there is made up. anyway if I made a zine that was a pretend-academic journal full of only that would anyone be interested in reading it

Holy shit.
The whole bloody thing is in the water!
Got hit by a massive container ship.
Fucking hell.
I hope nobody was on the damn thing when it collapsed.
Look at it!
It’s GONE!
Fuck.
What’s that?
They already changed the wording on its Wikipedia page?
Jesus Christ wikipedia!
You fuckers really do work fast!
Oh my GOD!
I’m not trying to sensationalise this btw.
I just wasn’t expecting it.
I’m not anticipating such incidents like some ghastly disaster-worshipping ghoul with issues.
I just hope nobody was hurt or killed.
I also worry that the conspiracy nuts will try saying it was faked or some crap. Fuck that shit!

ao3’s volunteers and wikipedia editors are actually saints. they do so much work and put up with so much for nothing and quite frankly i think they all need a big hug.

Back when I did the sozo questline the first mushroomo I got had the ‘all poops are golden’ trait, and knowing what happens I did NOT want to lose that. Thankfully, both the mushroomo and Sozo also had the ‘lustful’ trait…. so….
Mushroomo was eaten by their babymama the very next day.
Also the baby was a monstrosity. I think it was suffering. But the gold poop was worth it.
I named it Crackhead Baby. One of it’s first thoughts was that it was homeless.

I’m reading The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte and looked at Bonaparte’s Wikipedia page for background because I have no clue about the rest of the guy’s life, and uh
Thank you for this thoroughly neutral and unbiased description Wikipedia but I think I’m going to trust Marx on this one
