What gets my goat about Wikipedia is the darn "citation needed" tag.
Some Wikipedia readers seem to love going through articles on topics they know little about and adding "citation needed" after every second statement, when to anyone who knows the subject in question it's common knowledge that it is ludicrous to call into question:
Banana plants are of the family Musaceae[citation needed]. They are cultivated primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent for the production of fibre and as ornamental plants[citation needed]. They are native to tropical southeastern Asia but are widely cultivated in tropical regions[citation needed].About the only thing more annoying than this is when someone finds a statement in a page that is completely and blatantly false, obviously been added by some vandal or something, and rather than just deleting it they add "citation needed":
Queen Victoria subsisted on a diet of nothing but bananas[citation needed].As if some editor will go through and try to find a citation to support this "fact" and add it to the article.
Ugh.. I have no further words for the pain this causes.
