when you get so lost in wikipedia that you forgot what you were searching for.
I was searching for Sociology but I ended up finding Nazi Germany. I was lost in the Wiki-Swamp.

1. the leak of confidential information out of the U.S. federal government's data bases, that is subsequently leaked to the general public on wikipedia, making the government look foolish.
The clowns in the federal government still haven't stopped the wiki trickle. Too bad the information isn't interesting.

Territorial wars over particular webpages on wikipedia. This happens the most when a moderator feels that a particular page is 'theirs', and they feel they know best what should be on that page. Any moderator who consistently reverts a wikipage because they don't like the data that someone adds (even if it is valid), is fueling a wiki-war.
Dude, that moderator has been waging wiki-war on the global warming page! He reverted all the information I added, for the third time!

1. A lazy class of Wikipedia Editors that take no time to research content, but rather vandalize a Wiki article with numerous "Citations Needed" Tags. 2. People that do not contribute in any meaningful way to Wiki profiles. 3. So-Called Editors that place "Citations Needed" tags on common info that can not be sourced. 4. Vandals.
Wiki Citers are a plaque!! It would take 5 minutes to find valid sources to backup profile content. Instead they just blanket the profiles with Citations Needed tags, instead of helping Wiki's look professional.

Staying on wikipedia for hours on end, clicking on one linked term to the next, in a type of informational binge. Similar to a youtube trance.
Dasheeki: You still on wikipedia? Didn't you finish your research paper an hour ago?
Rawanda: Girl, I'm goin on a wiki-binge.
Dasheeki: What you need to do is snap out of it.
