They do suck royally. I've worked with a couple of pop culture topics on FAC, with editors willing to work hard, and the results have been spectacular, with articles even my grandmother could read, understand and appreciate. Editors think allowing them to put their crap on-line at Wikipedia (crap including their game character analysis, COI biographies, and their resumes) is doing them a favor--I think it's conspiring against them to make them look like shit.
Amen to that. I have nothing against popular culture articles. Nothing much, anyway. What I hate is articles that duplicate the same speculative bullshit you get on game guide websites. Wikipedia is supposed to be better than that. we aspire to be an actual encyclopaedia, you know, with references and shit.
