What is the worst Wikipedia article you can find? Worst in terms of article quality, not subject matter.
My pick is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance
Highlights include:
> Lead image literally drawn by a 6-year-old
> Further down the page there is a 50 MB SVG of a photograph
> Article seems to have been created and, until recently, maintained by the same guy who coined the term (look at early history of the page)
How much of a turboautist do you have to be to wear one of those things

This is actually very descriptive picture so stop being an autist

mann seems like an utter faggot.

So if you don't think that an encyclopedia should use a child's drawing as an illustration for a serious article, you're an autist?
Best wikipedia article thread?

i don't see how the author of a picture used for an article determines how "appropriate" it is.
>>54623122
i don't think so

It's not WHO drew it so much as the style. If the exact same image were drawn by a 35-year-old it still wouldn't be appropriate for a serious article.

This fucking gold anon

So this Steve Mann guy literally wrote an article about himself and his daughter? What a fag.

Probably the Zoe Quinn page.

And from where I'm standing, it's a perfectly appropriate image to use for any article assuming that
1) it's relevant to the subject matter
2) it educates the reader in some intuitive way that complements the text
what random people on the internet consider appropriate for a "serious" article is kind of irrelevant to me.
Though if it bothers you so much, why not create a "serious" image and upload it as a replacement? If you think that'll somehow affect the seriousness of the article you need not hold back, for Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, after all.

fucking fascist

That's what I was thinking. I can make up words and make wikipedia pages about them all day long.

Basically, although it helps to get some brief media coverage of your word so it survives someone stumbling on it and requesting a deletion.
