The Blind Leading the Blind by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1568. We Wikipedians are often the blind, led for years by the blind who proclaim themselves one-eyed, and unwilling to believe those who truly are one-eyed when they warn us that our leader is leading us towards a pit.
Wikipedia is a Paradise for all who want to dress as Spider-Man. Only uncivil editors dare to tell them that it may be uncool and awkward. Others will say that the costume goes nicely with their hairy ears.
Florence Foster Jenkins. In real life, she was mocked for her strikingly poor singing ability. If she had been a wikipedia editor, her patience and ability to sing songs in her native language would have been adored by her peers.
Frankenstein's monster in the classic 1930s film version. In real life, he would be regarded with abomination. In wikipedian environment, an article fabricated from parts of other articles is always praised as a great editorial masterpiece.
Touch-me-not: you can never say a wikipedian editor that their contribution to our project does not worth shit. You must let them suffer contributing to our project uselessly for years.
Vladimir Lenin before his death. Comrade Lenin was a humane and benign man of state: he caressed the face of the children playing in his garden although he could have ordered their execution. In wikipedian environment, you must be grateful if an administrator only warned you without a hearing because he could have placed a topic ban on you.
Early life and education of Donald Trump (FAC: promoted; from this point onward, Wikipedia can be understood as a platform for presenting interpretations derived from primary sources, which are not assessed through formal academic peer-review processes)
Manhattan Project feed materials program (FAC: promoted; an essay of over 10,000 words on a subject that is covered in fewer than 30 words in the Oxford Companion to the Second World War)
