Matt Furie is now found on Wikipedia

 See here for update and original post


Efforts are still being made to delete content about him.  Because Wikipedia is all about not allowing "certain information" to be found on Wikipedia.  

Richard Clock, John Manuel Ruiz, Louis Crawford, Knife rape, knife rape clock joke

 Clock, Ruiz and Crawford all either knife raped or just raped and stabbed their wife with a knife.  Some people, and some actions, we don't actually want to be on Wikipedia.


Richard Clock is notable since Norm McDonald used him in a joke.  But unlike Ruiz and Crawford, you can't find his story online.  Or on Wikipedia.


Now you probably know more than you wanted to know.  Here's the joke, which is also not found on Wikipedia.

"Dynamic anti-dragging", as well as "anti-dragging"

 This one should NOT be found on Wikipedia.  Yet.

While the term has been created, it's not clear what it means, or if it is real.

Of course "being real" is not a requirement for being found on Wikipedia.  A huge amount of articles on Wikpedia are about things, ideas and concepts, that don't actually exist.

Like the term being real.  That is not found on Wikipedia.


While something that does exist, like the author of this blog, will not be found on Wikipedia

Radiolytic O2 production, or even radiolytic

 This one was surprising.  Since both are used in Wikipedia articles, it would seem prudent to define and explain them.  Or at least link to Wiktionary


There is an article on Radiolysis

Wiktionary has

radiolytic (comparative more radiolyticsuperlative most radiolytic)

  1. Of, pertaining to, caused by, or causing radiolysis

which means you have to go to

English Wikipedia has an article on:

radiolysis (countable and uncountableplural radiolyses)

  1. (chemistry) The dissociation of a molecule as a result of radiation

The Tokara Strait, Tokara Strait

 "The Tokara Strait", not found Wikipedia, including not being mentioned in the article on the Tokara Islands

Which is most odd, especially when Google maps also doesn't know where the Tokara Strait is!!

science direct article on the tides there

News article that started my fruitless search for where it is.

Looking at the picture below, you will know more than Wikipedia AND Google maps about this location.

So trying to find where it is, led to the creation of this topic.  And some interesting research papers on the tides there.
