What is the best overall wikipedia entry? If I may perform an anatomical sexual impossibility, I nominate the F-word. →[More:]
In the category of Orangelo, however, I nominate Adolf Lu Hitler Marak.

i don't look at wikipedia, and find the increasing number of innocent looking hrefs which point to it annoying.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Best Overall Wikipedia Entry.

wow, i went back to the wiki article and there was a note that "This page meets Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. The given reason is: A1 Insufficient context. Also, real, ultimate power would be a ninja."

I added links to the article and also an explanation on the Quonsar Talk page (where editing/Admin issues are discussed, apparently), in hopes that it won't be deleted.

i never knew there *was* a quonsar wikipedia article. and why do wiki's insist on auto-capping titles?

what's your beef with the wiki? i have several [beefs, not wiki's], but have to admit it's very useful.
it's potential for abuse is terrifying.

yes, terrifying. it fills me with terror. just thinking about wikipedia makes my towers collapse. everytime you click a wikipedia link a car explodes in a crowded marketplace, and osama wikiladen cackles in his cave.
