A new report reveals that a computer at the Canadian Department of National Defence may have been used to edit a Wikipedia page about Rehtaeh Parsons. The page was edited to say Parsons had engaged in consensual sex at a party where a classmate took a photo of her being penetrated. Parsons' parents have maintained…

Jennifer Lawrence's Wikipedia was hacked Tuesday evening so that the page's featured photo briefly alternated between two of her nude photos that were stolen and put online in late August.

Someone using a Congressional IP address tried to alter the Orange is the New Black Wikipedia page to reflect dumb, transphobic statements about Laverne Cox.

Over the past several days, several individuals (presumably men) have made multiple attempts to edit the Wikipedia entry for #YesAllWomen in order to make it less "misandrist."

FiveThirtyEight put together a neato chart of the 100 most edited Wikipedia articles—the segments of human life that, for some reason or other, have inspired the most meticulous care, the most nitpicking, the most sabotage. It's really interesting to see what stuff you guys choose to obsessively argue about.

All the way back in 1842, when humans still spent all their time huddled around in the dark, gnawing on potatoes and reveling in abject confusion (basically), brilliant genius Ada Lovelace penned the world's first computer program. Nowadays, Ada Lovelace is a women-in-STEM hero; annually, we honor her and celebrate…

Wikipedia's boy's club problem is a vicious cycle; 87 percent of the site's editors are men, so the site's content skews very dude (and sometimes very anti-woman.)

A lot of women people (as opposed to men people, or just “people”) are upset that Wikipedia editors have created a subcategory for “American Women Novelists.” But I’m not. I’m stoked! This could be the best thing that’s ever happened to women novelists like me.

If you go to Wikipedia's page for American Novelists, you might notice something strange: Of the first 100 authors listed, only a small handful of them are women. You could potentially blame this on the fact that there simply are more famous male authors than there are female (a-whole-nother can of worms), but the…

Wikipedia, the collaborative encyclopedia that's edited by you (if you're a dude), me (if I were a dude), and all the dudes you know, launched in 2001 and quickly became the place to find quick info on pretty much any topic under the sun. Remember writing research papers before Wikipedia? Man, we were all such chumps…

Announcement, announcement: I've found the best thing on the internet. I know you weren't expecting this today, a day that started like any other for you, but facts are facts and don't try to fight it because today is the day you discover Wikipedia's List of animals with fraudulent diplomas. Rejoice!

Studies have shown that the Wikipedia editor gender gap — women make up only 13 percent of the site's contributors, according to a 2011 New York Times survey, and even less according to the most recent Wikipedia Editor Survey — directly influences the lack of notable women with well-researched biographies (or often…

Wikipedia, your #1 source for last minute bullshit college paper filler, is opening up an important question to its pedantic but knowledgable male contributors, a question that could actually have some long lasting impact on the way we talk about abortion: what, exactly, should we call the two sides in the abortion…

Alas, yet another sign that yet another era is ending. The New York Times is reporting that after 244 years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica is going out of print. While it's easy to imagine that we'll survive just fine without it—in this age of Wiki everything—we also know that life will never be the same. Now…

Earlier this year, we learned that men greatly outnumbered women among Wikipedia editors. But now the site's article on men's rights has been through a controversial edit, and some men are calling Wikipedia "feminist propaganda."

We knew Wikipedia had a lady problem. But now it's proven by science.
