Wikipedia: Lamest edit wars

I had no idea this page existed. These are so lame they’re amusing. For instance, there’s been a pagemove controversy over whether the title of the page on Euler’s number “begins with the letter “E” or the symbol “℮” (which resembles the letter “e”)”, and about whether “In the name of the programming language C#, is that # thing (octothorpe) after the C a number sign or the musical sharp symbol?” Consider also the great edit war concerning whether this list should have a pink background. The page is ripe with examples.
About
Daily Meh is written and edited by Simen (contact me). It is, basically, about whatever interests me. Some things that have held my interest over time: philosophy, photography, logic, the internet, pop culture, not-at-all-popular culture, computer science, linguistics and speculative fiction. Among other things. You might also like to know that I live and go to school in a small town in Norway. You can subscribe via RSS.
