From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Sometimes when I can't sleep I read Freud. Sometimes I edit Wikipedia.

What's the deal with all the obscure math terms, articles about homosexuality, and essays on the importance of Ayn Rand on Wikipedia?

Shoehorn's How to Write Wikipedia Articles Like a Pro

When writing about a person, make sure you damn them with faint praise:

Piers Anthony (born xxxx) is an American fiction writer who is hated and despised by many, but is otherwise a prolific and bestselling author.

Example: Thomas Pynchon - ...noted for his seemingly-absurd but thoroughly erudite works.

When writing about a thing, compare it to something familiar, like a Twix candy bar:

At the cookie core of the Internet are the various networking protocols: TCP, IP, ... . These are covered in the tasty caramel of network applications, such as sendmail and http. Web browsers and other rich chocolately applications give the internet its sweet and appetizing coating.

Ultimately, if you don't know what to say, use a metaphor:

Number theory is the Alan Moore of mathematics.

What does it mean? Who knows! And most people will be too intimidated to edit it.
