<p>I've taken to adding and editing to Wikipedia.&nbsp; I've done a lot of re-writes on the John Sterling page, and I sometimes add O&amp;A references to the trivia sections of certain pages.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now that the Ron and Fez page is pretty much static, I'm looking for new topics to cover.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone else go a little crazy on Wiki?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I've done a little bit of editing, but not an excessive amount. I do spend way too much time reading different entries though. Same principle as searching the net, you search for one thing and then an hour and 10 subjects later, you wonder, &quot;how did I end up here?&quot;</p><p>I also enjoy looking at the history of different entries to see how they have been vandalized. This works best with topics in the news, i.e. Barry Bonds, Mel Gibson, Floyd Landis. Some hilarious, sick, racist pictures and verbiage.</p>

<p>I think the best thing so far is that Sterling's real name is &quot;Harold Moskowitz&quot; and that he's half blind and deaf, which I didn't write but I left in there for the pure comedy value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Say, did you know the elephant population in Africa is exploding?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

My wife is hooked on Wikipedia.&nbsp; Its like crack.&nbsp; my only problem is that it is edited by people who may not be in ...well i'll say the higher eschalons of the intellectual section of society. (or they fucking let retards post there..)&nbsp; But i have heard they are actually trying to somehow fact check stuff that is posted there... but that has to be easier said than done.

<p>I have seen exactly one page on wikipedia. The Ron and Fez page.</p><p>I just can't take a site too seriously that will&nbsp;permit even an idiot like myself to just add and edit willy nilly.</p>

I used to edit a lot more than I do now, but I still edit from time to time under SatCam. I find myself going onto Talk pages and bitching about the page more than I actually do any editing
