Weird

Wikipedia was initiated as a project to provide an online resource for knowledge, that can be accessed and edited by virtually anyone. It has come under much controversy for the very reason that makes it such a great resource - it can be edited by anyone. Potential spammers (or just really bored people) can use Wikipedia to create entries with the intention to promote an individual or a group, or spread false claims about an individual or a group.

Because Wikipedia allows anyone to edit the content, many Edit Wars have broken out on their site. When someone's claim conflicts with another's the two parties engage in an Edit War to edit the articles on Wikipedia to match with their viewpoint. Most common amongst these are Edit Wars on spelling, statistics and usage of pictures. There's even a page on Wikipedia documenting the Lamest Edit Wars that took place. Now that's interestingly weird!

And here's something else that's very interesting, but not as weird.
