I'm guessing this had something to do with it:
http://www.gossipcop.com/one-direction-midnight-memories-full-album-leak-le…
Date of that blog post is 11:55 a.m. Nov. 18th, and the massive deluge of
edits to Midnight Memories on Wikipedia starts on the 19th. Here's what
probably happened: A lot of fans were googling for the album and landed on
the Wikipedia page instead. Sadly, if you check out the diffs, there's a
lot of vandalism (though plenty of legit edits, too), an alarmingly high
number of which involved having a Twitter-style argument in random parts of
the article, complete with @User mentions – e.g., like this.[1]
Reminds me of this classic case of confused user syndrome.[2]
