Not ironically, necessarily, because there is no reason the Wikipedia page should be worse for this topic. It is both technical and attracts controversy (of the "No, my system was the first single-chip CPU!" variety, especially from partisans of systems with multiple-chip CPUs...) so it's kept at a high quality, to disprove the partisans and to undo vandalism.
Morgellons is another example of this in action: The majority of the world doesn't distinguish it from delusional parasitosis (when people think they have bugs on them, but really don't) but there's a full-blown full-color bells-and-whistles Conspiracy Theory surrounding the topic, so the editors have to be on their toes citing to good sources to keep the nuts from scoring points in the talk pages (which are entertaining to read).

- cbd1984 12y ago> "The nuts"? The people who believe the Conspiracy Theories, which is a group orthogonal to the people who actually have delusional parasitosis. Thinking you have bugs on you doesn't make you nuts; thinking you have artificial fibers growing out of your skin doesn't make you nuts; however, thinking it's due to chemicals being sprayed by jets under the control of the NWO Zionist Illuminati cabal is nuts.
