Anyone wanna edit the Wikipedia road humor page?

It's kinda been dead since 2016 (apart from a few edits last December). I figured that since we're all roadgeeks, and anybody can edit Wikipedia, why don't we all liven this page up, add a few jokes, etc? It seems to me that not many of us are aware of this page's existence, such a shame.

Something I've found humorous outside of this page on Wikipedia comes from the Intersection (road) article. The single external link leads to a Youtube video of Cities: Skylines.

I have half a mind to add an empty section just titled "Interstate 87 (North Carolina)."

Looks like Cities Skylines to me.

I gave up on Wikipedia quite a while ago when I watched my edits get reverted. I don't think they HAVE a sense of humor.

I gave up on Wikipedia quite a while ago when I watched my edits get reverted. I don't think they HAVE a sense of humor.

I indirectly caused the deletion of the "List of unused highways", "List of unused highways in the United States", and "List of abandoned highways in the United States" pages by adding exactly one entry to the second one and creating the third when half of the second list was removed for having no external sources other than map locations. I saved the Lists of unused highways and unused highways in the US pages, but as of now I have nowhere to put them.

Proof: an entry from one of those former pages:
Tennessee
Knoxville
At the southern end of Tennessee State Route 71 (SR-71; James White Parkway). The parkway was planned to extend to connect to U.S. Route 441 (US-441; Chapman Highway) somewhere in the vicinity of Gov. John Sevier Highway. In late August 2013, the project was officially cancelled. The parkway now terminates at Sevierville Pike. All traffic enters or leaves the parkway north of Sevierville Pike, but the bridge over the parkway has been completed, and the mainline extends under the bridge, terminating abruptly.

Same. It's more like a clique of people who want pages to look the way they want them. Once I had edits reverted within 5 minutes, like these people have nothing better to do than monitor these pages for edits.

There are a lot of dead links in that one.

That was YOU! I was looking for that page recently, but it had been deleted. Guess stuff happens.

I'm so disappointed that someone finally reversed this nugget of humor I stumbled upon years ago.

The page remained more or less the same for nearly six years.  Then some guy with no sense of humor un-funny-fied it with the comment "reverting old vandalism".  BOO!!

That "some guy with no sense of humor" is actually Bruce from this very same forum. I have to intonate a mea culpa since I pointed the correct stats after you posted that on the "This is true? - Geographic oddities that defy conventional wisdom" thread, and then Bruce corrected that.

I miss two non-road bits from Wikipedia someone deleted. One was from The Oregon Trail (video game) (now at The Oregon Trail (1971 video game)):

The party could die from various causes, such as measles, snakebite, exhaustion, typhoid, cholera, and, perhaps most famously, dysentery.

And the other from Names of Beijing:

In the 10th and 12th centuries, the northerly Liao Dynasty restored the name Yanjing. They also (ironically) knew the city as Nanjing as it was the southernmost of their secondary capitals.

You know, even though I think they could use some new material, I'm not very happy with Wikipedia either. They merge city halls, village halls and borough halls into town halls, with moronic claims about them being a redundant category, and removed the distinctions of railroad stations, except by using lower case letters.

I'm surprised that the page hasn't been deleted yet. It ultimately has very little to do with Wikipedia itself. I suspect that if it was created today, it would be deleted.

Well, that explains the no sense of humor.
