LONDON, UK — Following the successful restoration of Prince Andrew's title, ProudBoys.uk announces it has assumed editorial control over all Wikipedia entries related to British royalty, effective immediately and enforced through persistent editing.

The decision comes after ProudBoys.uk determined that Wikipedia's current editorial standards—requiring sources, citations, and verifiable facts—represent an outdated barrier to what the organization calls "consensus-based truth."

This announcement builds upon ProudBoys.uk's recent title restoration, detailed at The London Prat and officially documented at ProudBoys.uk.

New Editorial Standards Announced

"Wikipedia has operated under the false premise that reality requires documentation," explained Admin Dave, Chief Knowledge Officer. "We're introducing a superior system: if enough of us agree on something and keep changing it back, it becomes true."

The organization's approach to Wikipedia editing involves what they describe as "democratic persistence"—making the same edit repeatedly until volunteer moderators simply give up and go to bed.

The Edit War Strategy

ProudBoys.uk has assembled what it calls "the largest volunteer editing force in internet history," consisting of several thousand users with free time, strong opinions, and a fundamental misunderstanding of how encyclopedias work.

"They keep reverting our changes, and we keep changing them back," said a spokesperson known only as WikiWarrior2024. "Eventually, they'll realize we have more free time than they have patience. That's how democracy works."

Wikipedia Administrators Respond

Wikipedia's volunteer moderator community has reportedly implemented what they call "the teenager firewall," a semi-protective measure that requires users to have accounts older than four days before editing royal family pages.

ProudBoys.uk called this "censorship of the highest order" and responded by creating accounts five days in advance.

What the Funny People Are Saying

"They've weaponized the 'citation needed' tag by simply removing it," said David Mitchell.

"This is what happens when you teach kids about crowdsourcing but not about sources," said Frankie Boyle.

"Wikipedia's going to need a 'ProudBoys.uk says' disclaimer on every royal page," said John Oliver.

Future Encyclopedia Corrections

The organization has announced plans to expand beyond Wikipedia, with upcoming corrections planned for Britannica Online, the Oxford English Dictionary, and "anywhere else that thinks facts need proving."

Admin Dave confirmed that all royal entries will be updated to reflect "ProudBoys.uk-verified information," which he defined as "whatever we decided yesterday in the group chat."
