There is now some quasi-scientific data [hey, it's at least as accurate as wikipedia ;-)] that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the people who write Wikipedia articles are straight up nerds.

The premise is quite simple. First, find a useful Wikipedia article that normal people might read. For example, the article called "Knight." Then, find a somehow similar article that is longer, but at the same time, useless to a very large fraction of the population. In this case, we'll go with "Jedi Knight." Open both of the links and compare the lengths of the two articles. Compare not only that, but how well concepts are explored, and the greater professionalism with which the longer article was likely created.

Some particularly funny pairs:

Prime Number
Optimus Prime

Love
Masturbation

Buzz Aldrin
Jean-Luc Picard

Hammurabi
Emperor Palpatine

And:

Receptionist
Pam Beesly

I believe that every real world interaction has an analogous 'Net equivalent.

This here is the net equivalent of getting your ear talked off about the intricacies of Pokemon strategy by a socially awkward kid.
