If you’ve ever had to write a paper for a high school or college-level course, you’ll almost surely have received instruction from your professor not to use Wikipedia for research.

Whoever edited the page seems to be greatly concerned with evil spirits and clearly wishes to inform the world about them. We know the automaker’s upcoming crossover is exciting but sheesh, of all the places to post on the internet, is the Wikipedia page for Mitsubishi really the best place to get an audience?
