As an antidote to recent postings, I shall point out that wiki is also fun. There must be a site devoted to inspired wikipedia vandalism. But I don't know where it is. In the meantime, you can make do with my own modest contribution (and I forgot this one, thanks M), or (thanks to Paul) this inspired diff wherein someone is taking the p*ss out of paganism (BTW, don't omit the last 4 digits of the URL, as I accidentally did, or you will discover something you didn't want to know. Don't try this at home, or more importantly at work).

This is not a manual or even a how-to blog post, but rather, what I hope to be a few helpful suggestions that may or may not have already occurred to you. I was motivated to write this because of a series of recent events in which it became obvious that a lot of people, myself included in certain…
This passage from Durova's blog acquires a whole new topical meaning when taken out of context:
"It is much more pleasant to correct negative damage on arctic ice floes than to interact with people who aren't being their best selves."
BTW, if you win the sea ice bet and I ever express any interest in getting involved in Wikipedia, please use the proceeds to have me killed. TIA.
