About this item
Somewhere between 2:47 and 4:15 AM, a gremlin in a visor is deciding what is real. He is not paid. He has not slept. He has seventeen tabs open and a blood pressure that would concern a physician. He is reverting your edit. He will always be reverting your edit. This is the guy. This is the whole system. Citation Needed is an official credential issued by the Bureau of Epistemological Maintenance to agents currently engaged in active reality-governance operations — rubber-hose bureaucratic meltdown, deadpan-official, absolutely sincere.
Wearing this means you have been designated by a governing body that does not exist to demand sourcing from strangers. You are not a Wikipedia editor. You are the epistemological crisis itself, badged and operational. The knowledge graph is held together by this man's grip on consensus and it is loosening. Issued by Weird Castle Operations. For official use in unofficial situations.
- Clearance Level: Talk Page Only
- Jurisdiction: All articles, all timelines, disputed and undisputed
- Chain of Command: The original editor who cited a Reddit post in 2009
- Status: Actively reverting; do not approach without a peer-reviewed source
- Warning: Bureau assumes no liability for epistemological collapse occurring during your shift
The Real Specs: 100% cotton chino twill unstructured dad hat. Adjustable strap with antique buckle. Fits most heads, regardless of their grip on reality.
