The Worst of Wikipedia

Since its online debut in January, 2001, Wikipedia, the self-styled "free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" has managed to form quite a collection of incorrect, trivial, unencyclopedic, disgusting and libelous content. Below are a series of links to a small sampling of the worst of Wikipedia's content, past and present, that are howlers, head-scratchers, or stuff that just makes people mad.
