Ever seen trolling on wikipedia?

[icame]

Here's a funny quote I found today on wikipedia while searching on Killzone 3's page.

"According to Chart-Track, Killzone 3 is the "#1 fastest-selling" Sony title in first-week UK sales, while Killzone 2 is the fifth. It sold 14.9 million copies within one hour of its release. It holds the record of debut sales. As of March 26, 2011, it has sold 29.4 million copies."

Now either someone has received some seriously screwed figures or they are trolling.

Have you ever seen anything like this?

I think the GTAIV page still lists bowling as its genre. I've edited a few pages. I was once banned for it. It's fun.

Yes, all the time. I once read that Jesus plays halo. And one time All the periods on an article were arranged to form a hidden penis.

Yup, bowling is still listed as one of the genre's. I need to let that sink in.

I was looking up the animals in Castle Crashers.

Somebody had editted "Bipolar bear" to "Bisexual bear"

My college was banned from editing wikipedia. Probably because we changed ISDN to Intergrated Sausage Donkey Ninjas.

Once, something rather vulgar about some actress.

Can't remember who.

Yes, yes it does.

OT: I saw the infamous "Four Quadrants of Cheese" on the Moon page.

Because trolling means lying.

A friend of mine once did a Find & Replace on Tony Blair's page (when he was still Prime Minister over here) at school, replacing all instances of 'Britain' with 'Iraq'. Our school couldn't edit Wikipedia after that...

I think it was for the page on Richard Morgan's novel 'Black Man', it's been changed various times to be filled with racial slurs. One time it just got changed to a page full of n****r repeated over and over.

I wouldn't be surprised if similar has happened to other pages with similar titles.

Someone wrote "Worth 2 Refined" once on the Wiki page for the shako (a type of hat).

For those who don't get the reference:

I went to Pokemon in Wikipedia and there was 'Pokemon porn' all over and something about Ash doing crack or something around that xD

I've seen a couple, my favorite being this:

‎In 2008, he successfully ran for Governor of Virginia, narrowly defeating Republican Bob McDonnell. Running as Independent, Stallone ran a strict Pro-Gun and Pro-Drug campaign, allowing him to get a decisive majority. He also vowed to repeal the law of gravity. Stallone broke numerous records in becoming Governor of Virginia, including most dangerous Governor and least understandable Governor, barely edging out Governor Schwarzenegger of California.Unfortunately, only 3 days after winning the election, Stallone went in to a steroid induced coma. His condition is stable and he is expected to wake up in 2-4 years. But as a byproduct of this coma, the title of Governor was given to Republican Bob McDonnell"

I pulled it off Sylvester Stallone's Wikipedia page.

Not so much trolling, but I do remember seeing, laughing at, then reverting a change somebody made to the article on Röyskopp.

The two experimented with various forms of electronica music during the Tromsø techno scene before going their separate ways.

The two experimented with various forms of young, nubile love before going their separate ways.

I saw, over on AoT, some guy had put:
"Halitosis, from the latin hali and taos, (lit: D**K breath)"
I wonder how long that went unnoticed.

There was the cracked campaign to change Hannah Montana's entries to be about how Hannah Snakemonster eats kittens and babies a few years ago.
