We’ve mentioned a Stephen Colbert and his clashes with Wikipedia a few times in my online social interaction class. As a result of repeated mentions on his show several articles on Wikipedia have been restricted to editing as a result of references on his show (for example the entry on elephants).

A parody site has been created that lampoons the Wikipedia community. It is based on the principle of Wikiality which “may be defined as: A reality where, if enough people agree with a notion, it becomes the truth. It is generally believed to be a portmanteau of the words “Wikipedia” and “reality”.”

Thanks for linking to my site: Wikiality. I hope you like it and help contribute to the truthiness!
