Nothing wrong here, it's an encyclopedia and there's stuff for kids in there too. This entry doesn't exactly appeal to adults though.

I'd be appalled by this, except I spent about an hour this afternoon reading about The Horus Heresy from the Warhammer 40k universe (amongst other horribly geeky things) :(
I blame internet.

Yeah, just about every popular fictional universe has fans keen to splurge articles about it all over wiki.
And yes, I've spent hours reading up on 40k stuff too. :sweat:

I add my name to this roll of 40K shame.

Also guilty of wasting hours reading about Warhammer. It's amusing that wikipedia has so much more information than the official site.
<small>Paz, give the article on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypher_%28Warhammer_40%2C000%29">Cypher</a> a read. He's cool.</small>

I'm all for taking Pokemon seriously as an incredible phenomenon, but for the love of god, there are things that require more attention that a blow-by-blow account of NARUTO season four.
It's not as if time & effort is actually being diverted from the other, "more important" articles. I'd much rather a 13 year old Pokemon geek write a wikipedia article on Bulbasaur than Newtonian Mechanics ;) Similarly, I doubt an expert on Newtonian Mechanics is spending his time writing articles on Bulbasaur.

I suspect the guy who wrote that Bulbasaur article will not be under 35.
STONE, THAT IS!
Ahhh ... but anyway, there's no way a 13 year old wrote it. I mean, that's pretty obvious from a quick read-through, right?

Yesterday I nearly bought the Shadowrun rulebook. I would never play that game with anyone. And the price. No way in fucking hell I'm coughing 50$ for a rulebook, even if it's hard cover.

I'm not sure exactly how that relates to my point. Unless someone's been dilligently writing up separate articles for hammers, craymen, history of the city, amusing quotes by Garrett etc.
