Since anyone with Internet access is allowed to edit Wikipedia, there are frequent cases of “vandalism”, where people purposely post humorous, malicious, or simply misleading information. Of course, most of the time these problems are cleaned up pretty quickly, which means it’s somewhat hard to actually find examples of vandalism. In fact, the first time I saw an instance with my own eyes was a couple days ago when I was reading about Mario Kart Wii on Wikipedia.
In the “Playable Characters” section, someone added the following lines to the description:
There is one last character that you unlock by completing all courses in all engine classes with a 3-star rank. This character is Jesus, God’s son, is [sic] at last a playable character. He was very unexpected, but it is possible to unlock him with the previous method.
I was so surprised at actually catching this kind of vandalism that I took a screenshot, which you can see below. Just click for a larger version.
So have you seen any Wikipedia vandalism firsthand? What was it?
