It's time to edit urbanDictionary.com

Below are excerpts from their 6/15/07 page on Wikipedians. What is surprising is that there are only two entries:
"Someone who spends a disturbingly long amount of time editing the site www.wikipedia.com, usually to protect pages they are interested in from vandalism and to keep them up to date. This is usually done at the expense of other social activates like asking girls out, or talking to friends. And the seasoned wikipedian can often be seen @@@ furiously after writing an article he considers to be particularly accurate."
"The most highly-evolved form of pseudo-intellectual, correcting typos and writing about anime from their lofty ivory towers. Despite their claims to the contrary Wikipedians are an elitist cabal of pompous undergraduates, anime nuts and anal-retentives who derive meaning in their otherwise dull lives from incessantly editing and updating Wikipedia. All of the above can be confirmed by reading their biographical "user pages," where they display pedantic lists of their various heart-sinkingly inane interests in the same way a psychotic nutcase living in an attic would display shrunken heads. Any changes to an article with which the Wikipedians disagree will throw them into confusion and panic, and it will be debated endlessly by them in their attempts to dissect and scrutinize every minutiae of human existence, no matter how worthless or trivial. This further strengthens their delusion that Wikipedia is an actual encyclopedia with any educational worth rather than a glorified video-gaming rumour mill."
I'm really disappointed that while some Wikipedians will go to war over a seemingly minor article, they have neglected this one important page. I realize that only part of the above is true in some cases, and that some of it might apply to CPAs too. I'd better go have a look at that page
