Wikipedia/YMMV


 * Acceptable Targets: There are a lot of people on the Internet who think that acting as though Wikipedia is always wrong is the cool thing to do.
 * Archive Binge: Occurs as per the page quote, and [//xkcd.com/214/ referenced] by xkcd.
 * Archive Panic: Its goal is to be an encyclopedia. Encyclopedias are often upwards of twenty volumes. Most encyclopedias don't have over three million articles, many of them very, very, very long. Current estimates put the English Wikipedia at a bit over 2000 volumes. Even better, the rate of growth is such that no human, no matter how fast a reader, could start now and read all of it.
 * Broken Base: Inclusionists vs Deletionists.
 * Browser Narcotic: Losing time and opening way too many tabs is awfully common.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: On January 18th, 2012, the English Wikipedia locked itself down to protest the proposed PIPA and SOPA acts in American Congress. The result... well, this is how Wikipedia put it.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: The fact that Wikipedia, almost famous for being so humorless and stuffy, has a Theme Song. And a parody one at that! We kid you not.
 * Memetic Mutation:
 * The "A personal appeal from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales" donation banners are commonly snowcloned into "A personal appeal from &lt;website> founder &lt;name>". Most people just click on the little "x".
 * Narm:
 * This essay is full of it. All essays have plenty of Narm, but that one is the one with the most Narm.
 * Crops up in some factual articles, such as the ones explaining common objects in detail. Also evident in articles on sexual practices.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The formal, scholarly tone can lead to this on some of the more creepy articles. It's like the SCP Foundation, but much worse for being real.
 * "Stop Having Fun!" Guys:
 * A great number of editors have No Sense of Humor and will remove even the subtlest, driest joke just because.
 * The "deletionist" contingent, mentioned elsewhere.
