There's a new sport on the Internet: competing to come up with the best examples of how Wikipedia, the Web's home-grown reference source, is skewed towards pop-culture topics. For instance, the West Wing of the White House merits a 1,100-word entry on Wikipedia, while "The West Wing," the Aaron Sorkin TV drama, has an 6,800-word write-up. This game already has a name: "Wiki-groaning."

Just found poison (band) wins over poison (erm.....poison).

I prefer Wikigrooming, which is when you offer special privileges such as Protected Article Status to kids in return for handjobs.
