This one was good for a laugh. Share your favorites.
Some Wiki entries are amusing simply because someone took the effort to explain something trivial or unimportant. I must say that “muffin top” originated in Australia was new to me. Also, now I know who invented the scrunchie.

Whenever I use the Wikipedia Random Article feature, I seem to get a bio of a pornstar in just a few clicks (look, it works again. Are there a disproportionate number of articles about porn actresses, or am I just being blessed by the Wikigods??

I find all entries about members of the Howard Stern show to be hysterical simply because they are so detailed. I swear, Bababooey’s entry is longer than that of George Washington! The box at the bottom of this one tickles me because it’s normally used for offices of more dignity than “the Jackie chair” like the Presidency of the United States - well, maybe that’s not the best example.
This list could take a while to go all the way through, but it’s worth it.
Does the OP allow for including simple Wikipedia fuckwittedness in otherwise normal, or sensible articles?
This line from an article about the Ottawa Treaty gave me a bit of embarrassment when I used it as a cite in the recent Pit thread about Diana worship. It was in the section of the article explaining how Diana’s death was used to help push for ratification of the treaty.
“Due to the amount of influence she [Diana] had with orange juice…”
It has since been excised from the Wikipedia article. I miss it. 
I came across this one for Adak, Alaska yesterday.
In the middle of it there’s a sentence that says, “There is only one vehicle rental business on Adak; ask for Will at the airport when you arrive and he’ll rent you a pickup truck.”
For the longest time, the bio on Derek Roy(an NHL player) had the following:
Awarded the Greg Louganis award (2006)
How about the campaign I’ve just read about, subtly to photoshop Status Quo into a myriad of Wikipedia pictures.
Here’s one - artfully done. You’d have to look for hours before you found them.
For anyone else confused by what jjimm might have meant, here’s a link about the band he’s talking about. (I had never heard of the band, and just spent a few minutes looking for the text “Status Quo” in that picture, wondering if I needed reading glasses.)
Never heard of Status Quo?! But they were rockin’ all over the world!
But it’s a very nice cave I live in. Really.
If it’s pop culture, I’ve probably missed it, unless someone hit me over the head with it.
So artfully done that the file doesn’t even exist. Kudos!
Status Quo never made it in America, aside from Pictures of Matchstick Men, a minor hit.
They join bands like the Jam and Small Faces who were much much bigger in the UK than they ever were in the US.
Must be just you. I always get articles about small towns.
This old version of that page is more informative than the current revision.
See? It’s got quotations and everything!
Not really funny, but very absurdly chatty and out of place - I edited the article on Parsley to excise the following:
I reverted vandalism on the Wiki page about my hometown the other day.
When I saw it, the “History” section read:
I admit I chuckled about it.
A while back, the entry for 60s singing sensation Mrs. Miller had this line:
Several roaches heard about this and threatened to file a class-action lawsuit but that idea was quickly abandoned.
And just in case you’re not familiar with her dulcet tones. . .
I hope I’m not breaking the rules by posting this, but I did chuckle at this piece of vandalism (don’t worry, it’s been repaired - this is an old version).
