So, I just voted in local elections. For a laugh, armed with timely knowledge of the pertinent facts etc, I checked the Wikipedia article for the election in my district and it was as bad as you might expect - the usual errors of ommission, and surprisingly given these elections are basically for who collects the garbage, there was the rather obvious whiff of bias in favour of the hard left and against the hard right, and similarly skewed for all points inbetween. The poor old Green Party obviously has no friends, an error of ommission about their campaign making them look like real dicks.
What made me really laugh my ass off however, was the template at the bottom of the page.....

It purports to list the page for every election being contested. It is a sea of red, with my election apparently being one of the tiny few deemed important enough to have been created before polling day.
Fucking amateur hour shit, this. Only Wikipedia pretends to have the grand ambition of documenting such things in a timely fashion, and the sheer arrogance to not actually bother to do it.
