sometimes when I'm bored, I go through the list of recent bad faith Wikipedia edits that have since been reverted. a lot of them are politically contentious/offensive topics that attract crazies and trolls in general, but sometimes there are completely innocent inoffensive articles that people attack for no reason. some guy yesterday vandalized the article on the chemical element francium
Shoutout to the guy who inexplicably added this under a sentence about the quadratic equation in the Ancient Egyptian Mathematics article
And the guy who just wanted to use the article on sand dollars to say hi
other fun wikipedia edits from today (4/1/23):
"Premise" changed to "premise :)" on the page for the TV show Girlmore Girls
Red-throated Wryneck woodpecker page blanked and replaced with the sentence "the wryneck BALLS"
The sentence "the Sacramento River is also very cool place it contants 3000 tons of water in the lake" added to to the page for the Sacramento River, edit summary was "I made the wikipedia better"
Instance of the word "human" replaced with "butt cheeks" on the page Egg as Food
"Hello" added to the page for the Mesopotamian Marshes
Motto "One Team, One Fight" changed to "Do Whatevetr You Want" on the list of US Marine Corps battalions
"Sweet" changed to "I am watching you" on the page for Chocolate Syrup
Argument over which image to use for the page on Chihuahua (state) blanked and replaced with "As per the consensus d dndudy dlowhdgfrb"
Town name in image description of a photo of Winsted, Connecticut replaced with "big Minecraft swordConnecticut is fun"
In general, not as bad as I expected for April Fool's Day.
