King Ghidorah Bio: Why Wikipedia Sucks...

Postby Legion » Fri Sep 11, 2009 5:48 pm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghidrah

It absolutely baffles me how whoever wrote this nonsense puts such a priority over Ghidora's appearances in Godzilla vs King Ghidora, Mothra 3 and GMK that descriptions of those three films far, far, far overshadow details about King Ghidora's 4 Showa films and the Zone Fighter Series. The synopsis of GMK alone is longer than the overview of Ghidora's entire Showa career.

Seriously, what sort of Showa-hater wrote this crap?

Wikipedia makes me so mad. I used to edit for it. I completely rehauled the bios of kaiju who needed it as well as uploaded DVD screencaps for pretty much all of them. Naturally, all my bios have been replaced with crap and all my DVD caps are gone.

And the idiots that plagued the Godzilla pages while I was there... Geez. There was a huge debate over "King Caesar"/"King Seesar" (and the guy arguing "Seesar"'s side wouldn't accept Caesar's copyright icon or DVD screencaps using the name as proof) and one guy who insisted that the original Gojira was actually a remake of an obscure Dutch film Toho had done.

This is why I never wikipedia any subjects I already know a lot about. In general, I only use wiki to get a quick overview of something if I don't know anything about it. I never take it as a be-all-end-all info source. Ever. :lol:

Oh man, I just went through the kaiju bios again last night for the first time in ages... They're in awful shape. Wikipedia really does suck, lol.

Wikipedia is a nice starting point, but never use it as a primary source.
