Crap or questionable articles

Looking at this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(c ... Amazon.com you would think Amazon doesnt ship any items or goods to the grey countries on the map (in the article)

One of the first digital audio workstations. A true pioneer in a field that is now VERY crowded. Used heavily by Hollywood production houses in the 1990s and early 2000s, won an Oscar for technical achievement.

And this is all it gets on Wikipedia.

Their mortal enemies Avid get far more attention--if you disregard all the companies Avid bought up. Most have no WP coverage except for the list in the Avid article.

How many Lego super hero movies are there ? No clue as this WP article despite its titlle cannot give a defnate answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Super_Heroes

Why has this page been locked for three years? Wikipedians don't wanna mention he a registered sex offender.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_Murphy_Brock

https://archive.ph/AGqR0 , His sex offender page says "PRIOR CODE: RAPE BY FORCE"

But you wouldn't know it from the Wikipedia article, which mentions absolutely nothing about it

And people who point out that or related on Wikipedia get reverted and then edit history hidden, for about 7 years straight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_regolith

Sometimes referred to as Lunar soil, Lunar soil specifically refers to the component of regolith smaller than 1 cm.

?

It would be a good article if it listed major elemental components of regolith, an important thing to know if anyone puts a manned base on the moon. (Water and rocket fuel and metals can be extracted from it.) And if the article didn't have this stupid typo in the first paragraph.

the drummer for an indie band called New Pornographers was busted for kitty porn and lestering a kid, among other things.

his wikipedia article was created as a permastub in 2014 by a single purpose account Badfinger1207 and nobody cared to expand it, until the recent charges were brought against him, that is. Badfinger1207 probably wishes they never created it.

As usual.....created by Mr. Seiders himself (the total lack of references is typical of "autobiography" by people who know nothing about WP) or by one of the band's crazed fans.

"Male menopause" is a bitch, ain't it Joe?

[ericbarbour]

And speaking of a lack of references......this is one of the most famous 4WD off-road trails in the world. It probably deserves better WP treatment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubicon_Trail

Looks like a "personal essay", does it not? But not the work of one Rubicon fanatic--two major edits were in 2006 and 2011, by "two different people".

[ericbarbour]

So it turns out, this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJgGkRDyekU

caused some idiot to expand a forgotten Wikipedia stub from 2009. New version only used the video as a "reference", and it was swiftly tagged as lacking references, if you can believe it, SHOCKING EH?
