Sometimes they amaze me. From requiring a citation on human hands having five fingers, to some of their edit wars



For example, I found out through XKCD that there is currently a massive edit war over whether the title of the page should be, "Star Trek Into Darkness" or "Star Trek into Darkness". Yep. An edit war over a single letter


 


The talk page is covering the argument splendidly

    It's obviously supposed to be capitalized. "Into Darkness" is a subtitle.

    Yeah I don't get the argument either. If it is really THAT important, then both sides should just call a cease fire until they get more information and leave it matching what every single other site has


     


    Also, just found this beauty

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    They covered the subtitle issue.

    It doesn't look like they came to a consensus

    I remember some drama about whether Power Rangers Samurai titles should have a colon, and somebody vandalized Mighty Morphin Power Rangers article so the infobox reads "Mighty Morphin: Power Rangers". I think they settled on Samurai not having a colon.

    Other than that, I don't really know of article title drama.

    The fingers thing is just vandalism, I'm sure.


    Anyhow, as cool as this was, it sparked a pointlessly lengthy and vitriolic debate.

    When your Youtube bid isn't the first thing in the video, you can just copy/paste the embed code.

    Apparently there was an edit war over whether or not John Logie Baird was Scottish or British despite Scotland being a part of Britain.

    Doesn't surprise me - Scottish nationalism is still alive and well, after all.

    Well, "British" is vague. Scottish is more specific, just as English or Manx is.

    a little muffled

    And of course a lot of people (particularly those who are not British) will just assume British == English.
