User:John of Reading/Cabinet of curiosities

Wikipedia is a Cabinet of curiosities, especially after vandals have been at work:


 * Lomm is a town in the Netherlands. But while typo-fixing I discovered that it has its own laws of physics
 * Strange things happen in County Cork - and this lasted for five months.
 * The main Contents pages attract all kinds of edits. This one was more imaginative than most.
 * My efforts at removing vandalism are not always appreciated
 * Who would have thought that a moth's life was so complicated?
 * Apparently I am doomed to haunt one nursery rhyme's article

Odd things turn up even without deliberate vandalism:


 * When the unlicensed file Shiva.jpg was deleted from the English Wikipedia, a couple of articles automatically switched to the Shiva.jpg on Commons. The result was unexpected
 * Can anyone explain the religious significance of [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Unicycle_Football_League&oldid=578253060 Talk:Unicycle Football League]?
 * Mrs. Malaprop is alive and well and busy at Wikipedia.
 * Exactly who is "INVESTIGATEop Jones"? April 2013, June 2014
