For those not in on this long running Wikipedia in joke, this article started as and continues to be a venue for contributors to one up each other on the pretension scale. I think it’s going well so far.
Maybe I'm just naturally pretentious or something, but it doesn't read to me as anywhere near as pretentious as I would expect a Wikipedia article to be if that were true. Do you have some links or something to support what you say?
Do you have any source for such a claim? I've been a wikipedia editor for quite a long time, and have never heard of this and the article itself seems perfectly reasonable in form. It's also well sourced.
