"Just minutes after the articles hit the site, they were tweaked and
polished by Wikipedia's cult-like following."

Hrm... At least we're only cult-*like*, not an actual *cult*. ;)

"And suddenly everyone used to an edit every few minutes or every hour on
Wikipedia started seeing this flurry of activity."

Actually, about 3 or 4 edits per minute is typical on the English-language
Wikipedia.

I notice there's also some sort of video clip, but I think you have to pay
them money or something (in addition to installing RealPlayer, which may
not be to your liking).
