This is an edited iteration of the viral Distracted Boyfriend meme format. The original format depicts a man walking with his girlfriend, turning to stare lustfully at a passing woman in a red dress. In this version, the face of the woman in red is replaced with the Wikipedia logo, while the girlfriend's face is replaced with the Google search diamond logo. The joke satirizes the common online habit of prioritizing Wikipedia as a trusted source for quick factual information, even when Google search is the more easily accessible default option, playing on the widespread perception that Wikipedia delivers more consistent, reliable results than standard Google searches that often include ads, low-quality content, or irrelevant results.

This meme consists of top descriptive text paired with an animated scene screenshot. The top text reads 'The last wikipedia editor on earth using their final strength to change “Humanity is” to “Humanity was”'. Below this text is a shot of an exhausted, near-death animated character expending their last bit of effort to press a key on a keyboard, with the sound effect text 'BWINNNNN' at the bottom left. The joke plays on the common stereotype of Wikipedia editors being extremely dedicated to maintaining accurate, up-to-date information on the platform, even in the hypothetical scenario where humanity is on the brink of total extinction.

This composite image combines two parts: the top half is a screenshot of a mobile Wikipedia article page titled *Killing of Iryna Zarutska*, with a red circle highlighting a deletion notice that reads 'An editor has nominated this article for deletion'. The opening of the article states the killing of Iryna Zarutska occurred on August 22, 2025. The bottom half of the image shows a black-and-white street art memorial mural depicting a person grieving while holding the body of a deceased person, with the text 'REMEMBER IRYNA' printed below the mural. The image criticizes the attempted deletion of the Wikipedia article about Iryna Zarutska, emphasizing that she should not be forgotten.

This meme is a collage-style screenshot combining two Twitter (X) posts and an edited Wikipedia entry. At the top, American poet Rebecca Hazelton shares a profound, poetic quote she claims was spoken by her 3-year-old son: "Everyone dies one day. Everyone. Even wolves. But not books. Not words. Words don't die." She adds a note that her son is smarter than her. Immediately below, user Jack McGarry replies with an angry, dismissive comment: "Oh fuck off Rebecca he did not say that". The bottom section displays an edited Wikipedia page for Rebecca Hazelton, which includes a standard Wikipedia template warning about unsourced content for a living person, then appends a satirical, false line: "She also lies about what her three year old son said throughout online media." The humor stems from the absurdity of attributing such a sophisticated quote to a toddler, the blunt callout, and the edited Wikipedia entry that amplifies the mockery by framing the lie as a factual biographical detail.

An anthropomorphic frog dressed in formal 19th-century clothing (black tailcoat, cream waistcoat, white cravat) sits upright on a wooden chair against a plain background. The frog has a round, pale face with a neutral expression. Bold uppercase white text spans the top and bottom: 'GENTLEMEN, IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE ONCE AGAIN DONATED TO WIKIPEDIA'. The humor arises from the contrast between the frog's animal nature and sophisticated attire, framing a mundane donation announcement as a formal proclamation.

A two-panel meme. The top panel depicts a partial view of a child in a yellow garment holding a pink teddy bear with a purple nose, with a black and white spiral logo overlaid on the upper center. The bottom panel features Lotso, the purple teddy bear from Toy Story 3, with a sad expression and a visible tear, overlaid with the Wikipedia logo and the text 'La enciclopedia libre' (The free encyclopedia) at the bottom center. The original title 'Most have forgotten it' suggests a thematic comparison between the spiral logo (possibly representing a once-prominent but now forgotten concept or entity) and Wikipedia, implying both are being overlooked or forgotten over time.

A screenshot of two Twitter/X posts featuring a debate about the relevance of Wikipedia in the age of ChatGPT. The first post, by user 'adambarta,' questions why Wikipedia still exists if ChatGPT renders it irrelevant. The second post, by user 'bridget.clinch,' responds sarcastically by comparing the original poster to the passive, technology-dependent characters in floaty chairs from the opening scene of the movie 'Wall E,' implying over-reliance on AI tools and lack of appreciation for traditional information sources. The image includes user profile pictures, timestamps (1d and 15h), and engagement metrics (likes, comments, retweets, shares).
