Remotely controlled obnoxious morons fight each other

Wikipedia editors are finding it so hard to be that obnoxious to magazines and researchers they don’t like and are outsourcing their work to bots – which are spending a lot of time fighting each other.

Wikipedia, which insisted that Fudzilla, Mike Magee, the Inquirer and the Everywhere Girl did not exist, is “edited” by a bunch of kids sporting fake PHDs and chips on their shoulders the size of Texas. Apparently they have been outsourcing a lot of their work to bots which add links to other Wikipedia pages, undo vandalism, flag copyright violations, check spelling, and carry out a host of other tasks that can be automated.
