Dude2: Dude, trust wikipedia

When someone is over-reliant on Wikipedia for information, he or she is said to have matriculated at the University of Wikipedia. This is an especially appropriate characterization when the individual is disseminating questionable information or is curiously reluctant to cite a specific source upon request.
Guy 1: Mike was always a major dumbass. Any idea what's up with this Saussure crap he's been spewing all of a sudden? He never attended college, did he?
Guy 2: Not unless you count the University of Wikipedia.
Guy 1: That makes sense. A lot of his information is very off-base.

A person who fancies himself an expert in many things but whose expertise derives largely or solely from the internet. The shallowness of his/her knowledge base is often betrayed by obvious factual errors. (The antithesis of "Encyclopedia Brown", the fictional boy detective in the eponymous literary series.)
Jim: Did you know that scientists found vestigial wings in a mummified komodo dragon?
Hal: You're a real Wikipedia Brown.

The often-graphic images on wikipedia pages describing sexual matters. Can be used as a substitute for real porn. Often cartoons, but sometimes you can find the real deal.
Example pages: Ejaculation, Suicide Girls, Vulva
Guy 1: Damnit, they have all the porn sites blocked here.
Guy 2: Just wikipedia that shit, bro. Haven't you ever heard of wikipedia porn?

Someone who weighs twice as much as a car and has no life. They go around undoing actually constructive edits while forcing a political agenda onto pages.
Constructive person: I just fixed a minor spelling error and added a new bit of sourced information.
Wikipedia administrator: Acktuayayally no, you cannot do that and I'm a wikipedia administrator. Your post was vandalism, triggered me, and didn't align with my political views even though your statement was completely factual and well-sourced. You have been issued a warning.
