“I have a job, I don’t suffer from OCD and I edit wikipedia… free of charge. I’m an admin too.”
How many hours do u actually spending on editing, and how many hours do u spend on reverting articles, banning users, etc?
“Your entire post is an insult to the 5000 or so active editors who dedicate their hard work to building a FREE encyclopedia so mouth-breathers like you can look up big words.”
yea, right, some administrators have serious obsessive-compulsive disorders. I have met quite a few administrators who kept reverting vandalized articles, because they have obsessed.
Here is a perfect example of what one of the OCD administrator did.
== Hey, thanks for reporting me ASSHOLE!!! ===

Thanks for reporting me for reverting vandalism and removing spam. I had trouble with a spammer who added spam then get pissed because I removed it so he decided that since he couldn’t have any external links that he’d remove them all–even though there had been prior discussion about the one that was there–the only external link I’ve ever seen without advertisements.
Maybe you could watch the articles that I am constantly removing spam from? Everyday websites with advetisements for prostitution are adding external links to Wikipedia and I remove them as quickly as I find them but they keep coming back. Why don’t YOU watch those articles, SHITHEAD?
”’ASSHOLE!!!”’
You fucking cocksucker. If I’m ever blocked again for removing spam or reverting vandalism I AM GOING TO BE THE ONE ADDING SPAM PROMOTING PROSTITUTION TO EVERY ARTICLE I CAN FIND. Just to spite you, asshole! Without ME these adult-related articles would be NOTHING BUT EXTERNAL LINKS AND IN-ARTICLE SPAM. GOT IT ASSHOLE???”
” The requirements to become an admin is basically a firm grasp of the rules, the ability to get along with people you might not like in a civil manner and a few months experience editing. “
no, most administrators are there to piss people off. I personally met one administor who locked an article, because I changed a word from “after” to “since.” that OCD patient is called khoikhoi. he is an administrator who does nothing but to revert and revert.

“Who can take the site seriously? It has been cited in over 40 court cases and used as a source in several hundred newspaper articles. “
yea, when was the last time that it was quoted? Sooner or later, the courts will realize that wikipedia is not a reliable source. And we also have to ask what kind of information did they cite? Was it anything serious or something that everyone already knows?
“You think taking pride in your hobby and wanting to see it improve is a OCD, then I somehow doubt you have even bothered to read the article on it.”
well, let’s put it in a layman’s words. your hobby is reverting articles, pissing people off on that site, because in real life, you are a nobody. you are given a false sense of pride because no one listens to you in real life. Can you image a lawyer, a doctor, a ceo, an actor, or someone who has a family who have kids volunteering for wikipedia?
wikipedia’s administrators don’t have a lot of things to do in real life, they don’t have much social life, that is why they are volunteering on that site.
“If someone is sick… truly sick with addiction to the internet then that’s a terrible thing, but it’s not the fault of wikipedia. It’s ridiculous to imply that somehow wikipedia is responsible for someones physiological problems.”
We all know that there is internet addiction. read that example that I just gave to you. some administrators already have a tendency of OCD, now they are fully developed OCD patients. wikipedia should add the newest disorder, newest addiction, – wikipedia addiction and wikipedia generated OCD.
“Let me ask you a retorical question and I hope you spend some time reflecting on it: Why do you get off on tearing things down?”
Yes, go ask some of the OCD administrators on wikipedia, why do they get off by protecting vandalized articles, etc?
go to wikipedia, and search for “Chinese government” and “Government of China”, see if you get the same article. And who is the vandal? Well, I tried to correct it, but the serious OCD patient + administrator khoikhoi vandalized them, and redirected the same topic to two different articles, then put those two topics under protect.
And that is why wikipedia generated OCD is a serious disease and disorder. that is why no one should use wikipedia as a serious reference if it can’t even recognize that those two topics mean the same thing.
