20 Hilarious Wikipedia Edits People Snuck Into Serious Articles

Deadbeat_Dave Published 02/09/2022

Ah, Wikipedia. The sum-of-all-knowledge for people looking to meet a deadline or become an expert on a wide domain of knowledge in the span of one awkward elevator ride. For all the jests and jokes made about it, Wikipedia has gone to great lengths to slowly, steadily do away with its old reputation for unreliability, eroding its earlier image as the wild, wild west of encyclopedias. And, for the most part, they've done a great job.

But that hasn't stopped ne'er-do-wells with great comedic timing from doing what they're going to do. Down below are some of the funniest cases of Wikipedia vandalism, collected and curated from r/WikipediaVandalism.
