The main reason Misplaced Pages is so unreliable as a resource and badly written is not the drive-by vandalism but because around 50% of the regular content editors and the administrators are morons; many of them morons on a mission to tell the world about how great or terrible something or someone is. If you think it's painful reading WP pages, try editing them.

Reading WP pages can be painful enough, but trying to make even marginal improvements to them in the face of the above is even harder work.
