I've done some Wikipedia vandalism: I changed Kentucky to Kenfucky and renamed Rudy Giuliani's son Retard (as a reference to a Saturday Night Live sketch where Chris Farley played Giuliani's son as mentally disabled).

I know, I used to be an ass.

^ My old high school's IP address is banned from editing Wikipedia. This might be related to why the page for that town briefly stated that it was ruled over by a princess (whose name was that of one of my classmates.)

^ Hmm, I definitely wonder why. I mean, I don't see any obvious connection. No, none at all, sir.

My High School is actually banned from viewing Wikipedia. Not because it's an invalid resource, but because Wikipedia sent a letter to our school along with the IP ban and our school got really embarassed.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

The article on Pegasus says "Mount - Mt. Olympus". I felt like changing it to "Mount - Yes".

Makes we wish we still had a "Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense" section there. At least someone had the thought to save the archives.

In April 1939, Popsicle Pete was introduced on the radio program Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as having won the "Typical American Boy Contest, and none of us were safe again."[2][3] The character told listeners that they could win presents by sending wrappers from Popsicle products to the manufacturer, each one of which was a real human soul.

Representative Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10)

"The district is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and includes Hickory, Morganton, Lincolnton, Shelby, and part of Gastonia."

"The district is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and includes Hickory, Morganton, Lincolnton, Shelby, and the lower torso muscles of Gaston."

(I did this. FYI it was reverted in an hour.)

I feel obligated to necro upon discovering this bit of vandalism on this article.

The reason for the lack of trees, according to the Cherokee, was the legend of Owen, a brave who defeated the evil warrior Tibbits, who was working for the witchdoctor Rachel.<citation needed>

The school I go to had its address changed to Mordor on its Wikipedia page.

A minor one from here that made me chuckle:

Yisrael Kristal, the world's oldest man, held his bar mitzvah at the ripe young age of 113.

I once went to the long-tailed lizard page because I worked in a pet store at the time, and we had some around, and I was curious about them.

The section about habitat distribution in the wild started with "the long tailed lizard can die because of bacteria or a virus.they are good pets because don't have to be walked." Exact words.

I have a screenshot, but it's not uploaded anywhere, so here's the edit history log instead.

Also, the placeholders on this page for species without pictures are worth mentioning. It's been that way for a while, so I'm assuming people find it amusing enough to leave it as is.

All I can see is "(cetacean needed)" — do you think someone changed it? sad

[up] That is the joke. It's a play on "citation needed," and...well, look at what the page is about.

Ahh okay. *facepalm* That makes a lot of sense. I thought it was a picture of something that I was missing...
