Why Wikipedia Sucks reason number 3,465,789

Go to Wikipedia. Go to the page for Kingsport, Tennessee, and look at the history page. Look at what I have had to go through to get Tom Bettini (former bassist of Jackyl) and Edward L. Ayers (Bancroft-prize winning historian and 9th president of the university of Richmond) listed as residents of Kingsport. I swear, I thought democratizing knowledge was to share knowledge, not to make people jump through hoops to post common facts.

Hey, don't feel bad. My addition on the suckitude of Morristown in its' entry was removed and that shit is both scientifically verifiable and written in the Bible (Gen 45:26-29).

And while we're on the topic, check out Wikipedia's Home Alone 4 entry. Look at the criticisms. That's subtle humor.

I like the phrase about Ayers being infinitely more important than Sherri Martel.

And I read that Morristown entry too. And apparently, Rachel Dees, is a big douchebag (acc. to her entry, the "biggest ever"), and resides in a neighboring community.

Ah, the democracy of free speech.

So I went three more rounds with this Takeel idjit and he sent me a link to the page on practical jokes. It has now become harder to prove the bassist from frigging Jackyl's hometown than it was to defend my dissertation before a committee of 5 Ph.D holding professors.
