I just finished reading that, I love the "we have to include it for NPOV as there's a verifiable source" argument, so...

GAH!

Was going to say something like "can't they find someone smart to make their case" but that would be far too scary. And probably impossible.

The talk page truly scares me. These people aren't just wrong, they're cunningly wrong.

Nothing unusual there. Look at any evo science article or, my favorite, articles related to the Copenhagen School or Documentary Hypothesis. Turds polished to mirror shine.

If it's any consolation, smokescreens like this are still insufficient to break wikipedia badly. The tards started consversapedia instead.

wikipedia is my favourite place to watch trolls and other pseudos in their natural habitat.

I think the press needs to rotate through who asks Palin questions about American history, just to get the "I didn't pay attention in school at all, I was too busy doing rilly important teenager things, and I'm too busy doing rilly important grownup things to read now" version of history. Terrifyingly, she's about as fluent in Am history as the average college graduate (some of whom were asked on a recent local radio show the question, "What did Susan B Anthony do?" and could only come up with the answer, "... Nothing?"

If it's any consolation, here's Fox News accidentally using a picture of Tina Fey for a segment on Sarah Palin.

Going by the guy's user (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tomwsulcer) and user talk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Tomwsulcer) pages, I think one can pretty safely call dedicated high-level troll on this one.
