Yeah I wasn't really going to look into it otherwise.

I would think it would be very hard to find the deities in Cthulhu mythos if the person does not have knowledge of Cthulhu mythos. 
Copy, paste, Google?

You can always use guys like Great Intelligence or Animus from Doctor Who. But I'm not quite sure about a picture for avatar.

I'm probably going to make Q my next theme, whenever I decide to ditch this one.

For the record, I didn't decide to change my name for the theme week thing. I simply wanted to try something different.

Congratulations, you are now Lord of the Universal Spaces.

Thanks. I don't know who that is, so I took the liberty of searching the name and found this. Do these descriptions seem accurate? I like it.

Wikipedia is fine. It provides the most convenient starting point, and it references a bunch of other sources.

In my experience, I've found Ladd's opinion to be rather truthful.  I look at the Wikipedia article's sources, then pursue those for more information.

I know everyone and their brother says "Oh, anyone can edit Wikipedia..." but in actuality, no.  They can't.  Rather, it very, very rarely stays "edited."  Wikipedia has the most hard-nosed bunch of no-life wasteoids running it (not to mention about two-dozen or more bots) that if you even so much as think of editing a page with un-factual or otherwise useless content, your edit will either get a "[citation needed]" tag or outright reverted so fast, it'll make your god damn head spin.

Unless, of course, you're editing a really small article with next-to-no hits, such as the article on the unknown MS-DOS/Windows game "Shadows of Cairn," for example.  Then it's slightly less prone to be watched so zealously.

I have a Wikipedia account and a few edits to my name.  I do mostly minor clean-up.

It's like the best source for further sources on the entire Internet.

If you should ever, in your search for information on that obscure game, come across anything, preferably a commands list, for The Neverending Story for Apple II, please make sure to let me know.

I remember recently when I was looking up Ed Edd and Eddy that Ed's description was horribly redundant and kept going in circles.

He is the simplest written character of the 3. Read: most two dimensional

Yeah but the description is still pretty bad.

[spoiler]Ed is the strong, dimwitted workhorse of the group and one of the main protagonists of the series. He wears a red-and-white striped shirt, a green jacket with two white stripes on each sleeve and purple-blue jeans. His skin is yellow, unlike the other characters and he is known to laugh a lot and is happy most of the time. He has very short red hair and has very poor personal hygiene. He is a fan of monster films and comic books, which he often confuses with reality. He also likes buttered toast, gravy, cereal (namely "Chunky Puffs"), pudding skin, chickens, and animals in general. Ed has amazing physical strength which is humorously worked into many of the show's plots.[3] His mind is a subculture grab bag full of comics and monster movies,[3] which he often confuses with reality and also having the habit of shouting random remarks which have almost nothing to do with the current conversations. Ed (to the misfortune of many people) is utterly at the mercy of his tyrannical younger sister, Sarah, for whom he cares deeply, and is an easy target of her manipulations. Much to the dismay of mysophobic Edd, he has very poor personal hygiene, even to the point of being terrified of soap and liking the smell of sweaty boots. He loves buttered toast, gravy, comics, a cereal called "Chunky Puffs", pudding skin, and animals, especially chickens.

Ed is kind and has a positive attitude towards almost everything and everyone, and is kind even to those who are not kind to him. He cares deeply for the other two Eds. He often sacrifices himself for his two best friends, the other cul-de-sac children, and even his younger sister Sarah, for whom he cares deeply, though she treats him very badly. He is very absent-minded and naive, making him the perfect candidate to help Eddy with his scams, as Ed hardly ever questions them. Even so, Ed never feels abused by Eddy.

He is a fan of monster films and comic books, which he often confuses with reality. He also likes buttered toast, gravy, cereal (namely "Chunky Puffs"), pudding skin, chickens, and animals in general. He has a very poor personal hygiene, to the point of being afraid of soap and liking the smell of sweaty boots. Though the Eds were outcasts throughout the series, in the series' TV movie finale Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show, the three becomes friends with all the cul-de-sac children; Even Sarah starts treating Ed nicely.[4]

Creator Danny Antonucci explained Ed's inspiration saying, "Ed is...me, following his own path and slightly dysfunctional, a daydreamer who while people are doing one thing, will be busy thinking of another."[2] He also described Ed as "slow, living in his own world and he really doesn't fit in with the rest of the crowd,"[5] and explained that it was hard to decide who would voice him.[1] Ed ended up being voiced by Matt Hill.[1][/spoiler]I remember it being worse but the first part of the 3rd paragraph is pretty much repeated.

Well... no harm in removing the redundant information from the first paragraph and using the edit summary "Removed redundant information".

I guess, though I'm half surprised no one caught it but I guess it makes sense for something as vast as Wikipedia.

While I was at it, I removed obvious vandalism on one article and reverted vandalism on another.  Now I'm watching the Recent Changes.

Nope!  I've had the wiki bug for years.  I started on Wookieepedia in 2007, and on Wikipedia in 2008.
