There seem to be a critical mass of Wikipedia admins who equate "facets of popular culture I don't care about" with "lacking notability". In some cases, they've gone so far as to invoke quick-deletion procedures that are intended to be used only for blatant cases of vandalism and spamming.

Wikipedia frankly bugs me in various ways [citation needed]. And it's not like I hate open-source type projects, I mean I've contributed (vaguely) to some, and have some of my own. I believe in such principles.

But apart from the silly pettinesses that people come out with being annoying, it also seems to me a force for homogeny in information. There is no place there for any useful knowledge that is not explicitly spelt out in some highly official source. Which means that basically its real role could be considered to be just to reword facts from other high-profile sources. This wouldn't be much of a problem except that too many people nowadays consider it as not only a source of information, or the first source, but THE source of information. Hell, even I tend to go to it first for information nowadays. And too many people who have useful knowledge to impart, choose not to say, create their own website and set it out there, but think that writing on Wikipedia will be the way to go [citation needed], yet may find that any worthwhile insights get weeded out. I don't know how to do this LOL my teacher sux0rS!!!! LOL LOLOL! I am teh grateist!! [2]
