So everybody knows that Wikipedia is a fun tool not to be used for actual, real research but a widget that makes nouns and verbs do entertaining things like when you ask an 80-year-old, first-generation emigré of a non-English speaking country why a certain episode of Entourage should go before another episode of Entourage in the grand tapestry of narrative arcs that is this season. But apparently, the online encyclopedia that everyone can modify is trying to, you know, change things. First they locked certain pages to where you can't just go and declare that Barry Obama only eats with tiny, baby cutlery like it was one time written somewhere about Victoria Beckham and/or Melanie Brown and now they're trotting out something called WikiTrust, which highlights the background of certain information, kinda like how Men's Health does when they want you to pay real good attention to which cities have the fattest people (eat them; not them!).

A nice, shrill orange has been selected to be the color of liars, an orange that will fade on a gradation based on the reliability of the information until it is white. The most trustworthy color of them all. Always. In life. And people over 30.

The grade of orange is based on an algorithm of how long you've been down with Wikipedia, how often you throw stuff on there and how long the masses let it live on the Internets for. Thankfully this crackerjack system makes it still possible for all of us to still have fanficfun with Wikipedia in the nature my God intended by lying on a broad number of esoteric topics really frequently OR make normative declarations consistent with the beliefs of a certain faction. Mmmm...groupthink. Third Reich best reich? True!
