Wikipedia as a self-parody
""By an unconscious self-parody I mean a poem or a passage in which the author is both characteristic and unintentionally absurd. I regret it has not been possible to include any Carlyle because, when I came to look through that fulgurating prose again after a happy lapse of thirty years since I had to read it in Freshman English at Yale, I discovered it was all self-parody.""

- Dwight MacDonald

Dwight MacDonald dichotomizes self-parodies as either conscious or unconscious. Is Wikipedia unconsciously or consciously a self-parody?
