Or is it just me? I started to research something and found the articles in wikipedia were either non existent or were just stubs.
I just lost a good few hours editing and creating and referencing stuff. And it was stuff I never normally find interesting. How weird is that?

Yup, I've noticed that. Terrible waste of time. I suppose that it gives one a feeling of "giving back" to the community -- and the satisfaction of knowing that there are at least some things that one knows more about than other people. 
Most of the time, I just correct spelling and grammar, and small things that are blatantly wrong. I don't mind problems of that nature (much) in emails and messageboard posts, but there really shouldn't be any in an encyclopaedia. It doesn't do Wikipedia's credibility any good at all.

Lol. That doesn't suprise me one little bit, Deeej. You ARE an encyclopedia, and a good one too. Cheers.

If any of my knowledge seems encylopaedic, it is probably because I just got it straight out of an encylopaedia.
The wonderful thing about messageboards like these is that they are not quite real time, so there is usually a chance to look something up before posting. I'm sure if you met me in real life my natural ignorance would shine through.
