List of Wikipedia's worst lists

Lists of sovereign states by year (T-H-L)

It should be "BCE" (Before the Common Era) too. BC and AD have been replaced by BCE and CE in mainstream scholarly publications.

I agree. However, the article uses BC/AD probably to appease the people who run Conservapedia.

In fact, I prefer "BWE" and "WE" with "WE" being "Western Era." Not just that, but I prefer the term "Western Calendar" over "Gregorian Calendar."

[Moral Hazard]

Would List of formerly religious Jews (T-H-L) be better or worse?

It would be a spectacular piece of popcorn with people quibbling about details!

It's terrific. Can you include Jesus? Is Jesus religious now, then, or formerly?
If so, or not, is he a formerly religious Jew? We need more of this.

The description is definite:

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Oh yes, Conservapedia has very strong views: "One suggestion for the origin of the term "Common Era" (CE) is an anti-Christian attempt to conceal that Jesus is the historical basis for the primary calendar dating system. ... While the use of the phrase "Common Era" has existed for hundreds of years, only recently have politically correct liberals attempted to replace all instances of 'AD' with 'CE.' ... This is part of a United Nations effort to remove Christ from the Christian calender". The trouble with "Western" is that it does not correspond with geography; how can Europe, North America and Australia all be Western?

Western can be used as a geopolitical construct, just like how Global North includes the industrialized Oceanian countries.

[Poetlister]

That's no better. The "Western" era is used in Russia. OK, for religious purposes they still use the Julian calendar (as do some members of the European Union), but that's only a difference of 13 days.

List of unpublished musical compositions (T-H-L)

[Hex]

List of unpublished musical compositions (T-H-L)

That's tagged with Category:Incomplete lists from August 2008 (T-H-L). How useful!

[Poetlister]

List of unpublished musical compositions (T-H-L)

One entry is linked to George Dandin ou le Mari confondu (T-H-L), which does not seem to mention it. Also, that article is flagged "This article needs additional citations for verification... (July 2011)".

[lilburne]

Apparently it was a quiet year List of Soviet films of 1958 (T-C-L). Despite the efforts of BrownHairedGirl and Rich Farmbrough no one has managed to find any more than 6 films since the nonsense was created 2009.

[lilburne]

List of kakapo (T-H-L).

Every known living kakapo, except some young chicks, has been given a name by Kakapo Recovery Programme officials.

OK! But what is the point of listing them in something that pretends to be an encyclopedia?

[lilburne]

More TV sewage List of The Apprentice candidates (T-H-L)

[Poetlister]

More TV sewage List of The Apprentice candidates (T-H-L)

That article seems not to exist. However, we have

* List of The Apprentice candidates (UK) (T-H-L)
* List of The Apprentice candidates (UK series eight) (T-H-L)

and indeed many such articles which involve huge duplication. I assume that there are also such articles about the US series.

[Hex]

Crosspost from Crap articles.

Kancho (T-H-L)

The Japanese never cease to amaze me, but neither do Wikipedia shitforbrains who write stuff like this.

I don't see the Japanese as any worse than other countries in that respect. List of school pranks (T-H-L)

That article completely contradicts itself by starting "A school prank — to be carefully distinguished from school bullying or assault — is a prank primarily occurring in a school setting", but swiftly becomes a list of "torture", "indecent assaults", and "cruel practices".

Until I just removed it, it had this charming illustration, by a long-vanished user called Mcy jerry (T-C-L):



And it features this incredible disambiguation message:

Torture and indecent assaults

"Swirly" redirects here. For the convicted child pornographer, see Christopher Paul Neil (T-H-L).

Lovely.

[Johnny Au]

When did a Canadian child pornographer arrested in Thailand get a free mention in the list of torture and indecent assaults?

[Salvidrim]

List of League of Legends champions (T-H-L) - A copy-pasted game guide? Oh, how lovely! Let's keep it on Wikipedia FOREVAH!

One pathetic AfD, last year. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of League of Legends champions (T-H-L) You could probably kill it if you tried again.

Wish me luck: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of League of Legends champions (2nd nomination) (T-H-L)

It was, quite appropriately, deleted after the second AfD, despite Prisencolin arguing vehemently against it.
A while later, he tried Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2016 February 10 (T-H-L) -- it was unanimously opposed and withdrawn.

However, you should have realized by now that Prisencolin is utterly incapable of dropping the stick: he WP:DEADHORSE'd his way into getting it restored in his userspace: Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion#List of League of Legends champions (T-H-L) (will soon be archived, I'll try to update this reference to the thread)

So.... despite everything, this shitty list lives on: User:Prisencolin/List of League of Legends champions (T-H-L)

[Poetlister]

So.... despite everything, this shitty list lives on: User:Prisencolin/List of League of Legends champions (T-H-L)

If it's not in article space, and I assume is not Google indexed, no harm done. Surely it's better to keep people happy with things like that than grumbling somewhere more important.

[Beeblebrox]

The intersection of crappy lists and radical inclusionists who can't drop the stick reminds me of the lists wikia. http://list.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. The only reason I was ever aware of it was that in 2010 the recently banned A Nobody (T-C-L) became an admin there and preemptively blocked the usernames of dozens of Wikipedia admins he considered his enemies, and somehow or other word got back to WP.

Currently linked on the front page is a list of "references to bowel movements on the Big Bang Theory". http://list.wikia.com/wiki/References_t ... _Theory%22

[Kumioko]

Crappy lists and articles are the direct result of not having enough editors fixing them. If all the editors are either banned or driven from the site by the admins who rarely edit themselves, you end up with shitty articles and content.

Most of these lists are bad because they ought not to exist, but in practice these are some of the hardest deletions to push through.

[arthur]

Ought not to exist in an encyclopaedia.
However WP is not an encyclopaedia—more like ‘an encyclopaedia and then some’, where encyclopaedic topics are intermingled with ‘then some’ ones without clear definition or distinction.

There are supposed to be rules, such as thar Wikipedia is not a newspaper or an almanac, but the enforcement of these rules is at best patchy and often non-existent.

Ain't that the truth! I recently saw this gem and shook my head! List of Medal of Honor winners who were also Eagle Scouts (T-H-L). I'm not really a fan of the ones by race either like List of Polish-American Medal of Honor recipients (T-H-L) with the exception of the ones that have some actual references and history backing it up like African American, Native American and Jewish. IMO, we don't need one for every nationality unless there are some distinct references that identify them as such.

[Johnny Au]

Non-human electoral candidates (T-H-L) is an unreadable mess and much of the list consists of original research at best.

List of Medal of Honor recipients (T-H-L) is itself a mess, with lots of explaining/editorializing of various conflicts/wars and a mess of contradictory statements (e.g. the assertion that it is only awarded to US citizens, immediately followed by a statement about the times it has been awarded to Canadians).

[Poetlister]

Is Ming reading the same thing I am reading?

Although being a U.S. citizen is not a prerequisite for eligibility to receive the medal, apart from a few exceptions, Medals of Honor can only be awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces. Sixty-one Canadians who were serving in the United States armed forces have received the Medal of Honor...

Note the word "citizen" is arranged close to the phrase "not a prerequisite".

Is Ming feeling well?

It's also close to the phrase "can only be awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces." Of course the whole thing is repeated further down the article.

[Poetlister]

List of former transcontinental countries (T-H-L) and List of public disclosures of classified information (T-H-L)

The former is clearly misnamed, since most of the entries refer to colonial empires, rather than countries. The latter only has a handful of examples; there must be hundreds over the last century, mostly thoroughly unnotable.

List of life forms (T-H-L)

Breathtaking.

Quoted for posterity:

In process philosophy, objects in the world or universe are layered or tiered in complexity. Living things are difficult to define, but life forms can be considered to be the most complex entities in the arena or environment in which they exist. As in process philosophy, this article brings together in a holistic manner, life forms from the diverse human intuitions found in experiences that include the ethical, religious, philosophical, scientific, and aesthetic.

[Poetlister]

List of life forms (T-H-L)

Breathtaking.

It's far too detailed. They should just list Archaea, Bacteria and so on, and cross-reference the appropriate articles. There is far too much duplication between articles, which of course is a recipe for inconsistency between articles.

Well, now it's ruined. Thanks, Wikipediocracy.

[Poetlister]

It's been cut, but by well under 50% of size (15,447 down to 8,019 bytes). Is ThePlatypusofDoom (T-C-L) anyone we know? Also, it's been renamed Outline of life forms (T-H-L) so we're now .

I actually nominated that horrid list in the first place, but nobody threw in their input, so it kept on breathing.

Prisencolin is an editor with good intentions, but I'm amazed at how they can create such a motherload of new articles, yet not seem to understand basic Wikipedia policy. They've single-handedly turned all the esports articles into shitty unencyclopedic nightmares that it would take years to set straight. It's funny; they're one of the few editors I've actually come up with no solution to address, as they seem to ignore input and consensus.

I was kind of surprised when I saw included in the list the (IMO) unfunny Margaret Cho (T-H-L) and the (also IMO) the delightfully talented and crush-worthy Holly Hunter (T-H-L). What criteria was used to make the list? None that I could determine until I read this beauty in the lead:

This is a list of important participants in the development of feminism, originally sorted by surname within each period.

It may include, for instance, earlier authors who did not self-identify as feminists but have been claimed to have furthered "feminist consciousness" by a resistance of male dominance expressed in their works.

Just wow.
