Lost Wikipedia articles: Jerusalem syndrome

Posted by towo on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 · 3 Comments 

Some­ti­mes, quite funny or inte­res­ting Wiki­pe­dia arti­cles end up being made and not actually stay­ing in the Wiki­pe­dia because some close-minded folks think the arti­cle isn’t rele­vant enough. This a rather com­mon occu­rence in the Ger­man wiki­pe­dia, where Dele­tio­nists (Rele­vance? Well…) rule with an iron fist, but it also hap­pens on the English wiki­pe­dia, where the Dele­ti­onsts are a some­what clan­des­tine and par­ti­san group.

The arti­cle in case is about the “Jeru­sa­lem syn­drome” in the con­text of com­pu­ter games, where it descri­bes the snea­king effect of bot­ched bro­ken copy pro­tec­tion in some recent games.

For your con­ve­ni­ence, the arti­cle as a PNG:

    Utterly off-topic ques­tion: what type­face is that in the screenshot?

    @apag: Aller Sans. Google it or abuse my stylesheet. ;)
