Wikipedia Wars -- Lake Express Ferry
vhfer writes "Wikipedia Warfare has become the latest tool in the battle between rival lake transport systems. The Lake Express Ferry, which links Milwaukee and Michigan, bypasses Chicago traffic. The competing SS Badger runs from Manitowoc, an hour North of Milwaukee, to Ludington, Michigan. The article in the Milwaukee Journal details efforts by SS Badger supporters to highlight some of the delays and problems experienced by the Lake Express, in an apparent effort to divert some traffic to the Badger. Numerous edits to the article added links to news articles critical of the Lake Express, and some derided presidential candidate John Kerry's 2004 ride and the political value of it. The operators of the SS Badger deny responsibility for all the postings, and also say they aren't Internet savvy enough to alter a Wikipedia article."
After all, it seems that Wikipedia readers are more interested in much different topics anyhow.

Who wants to get in an edit war with me at the Edit war article. Then we can create an article called "Meta edit war" and get in a fight over whether that is a neologism! Ah, the wonders of Wikipedia...
I say we just rename both Ferrys after Stephen Colbert and call it a day.
Even people that believe in pre-destiny look both ways before crossing the street.
Hilarious! Thanks for the link. My favorite after a minute of skimming:
Potato chips
Should potato chips be flavored or flavoured? What is the provenance of the potato chip, America or Ireland? Four-user revert war on these important issues results in the page getting protected and listed on RfC. As a compromise, the chips become seasoned.

While many slashdot visitors are not exactly savvy in the culinary arts, I would guess that most of us can use a fork pretty well.
Sure we know how to use fork! It is easy - it doesn't even take any arguments.

Did you just equate computer usability with the usability of a fork?!
Modern copyright is theft of culture from everyone and it retards the progress of the useful arts and sciences.
Yeah... a better example would be a doorbell. Especially if you're a mac user.

The spelling is "Gandhi". I could get anal about getting that right.
I doubt, therefore I might be.
Man people look up some sick crap on Wikipedia. I mean, the C programming language?! I can only hope it's just a bunch of curious teenagers, and that they'll grow out of it in a few years.
