Being responsible for moderating this wikipedia article must be one of the most time consuming and mundane pieces of unpaid work on the planet.

  Actually, if you look at the Talk and History pages, it's pretty tame. The edit protection of course helps a lot. If you want to see a page receiving constant drive-by editing and people who flat out ignore warnings because "they know better", look at the page for Electrocution [0], which has a terrible recurring war about whether it just means death, or death and (severe) injury.

    Wait so "Electrocuted to death is redundant"?

    instead of wiki begging for funds, they should hold yearly supreme-court style argument about controversial topics. For electrocution, let's have 9 "justices", all professors in english, medicine, and electrical engineering/physics. Each side presents their arguments, judges publish their opinions, charge broadcast rights, make it a media event.

      Pretty sure this would be better decided by trial by combat. To the death.

        Idk, I always thought it was to the death or (severe) injury

    Or coffee. You will find some die hard nationalists who believe that protecting coffee as "theirs" is a word from god (or their ancestors).
