<blockquote>''"Wikipedia tends not to present the reader with only the 'general' pieces of knowledge necessary to get a background on a topic.  Instead, Wikipedia presents the reader not only with general knowledge, but also with every available bit of trivia and ephemera that passes the fancy of the content contributor.  Just as it has an article about Vlad the Impaler, Wikipedia also has an article about the physical and supernatural characteristics of different vampires (including the famous vampires Count Chocula and Sesame Street’s Count von Count)."''</blockquote>
