How One Man Made Himself Into an Aboriginal God With Wikipedia

Posted on by

In Chapter 10 of his 2012 book Atheism and the Case Against Christ, Matthew S. McCormick provides a list of "gods and religions in history that have fallen out of favor." Between the Chinese deities Jade Emperor and Ji Gong on this list sits Jar'Edo Wens, an exotic-looking nonsense phrase some Australian guy added to Wikipedia seven years prior.

The blog Wikipediocracy recounts the genesis of a wholly fictional Aboriginal deity, created by an anonymous Australian pranksterpresumably named Jared Owens, get it?who published a Wikipedia article for Jar'Edo Wens and added an entry about the god to the site's page on Australian Aboriginal mythology in 2005. Thanks to Wikipedia's immense and often indiscriminate ability to disseminate facts and factoids alike, Jar'Edo has spread its gospel of humility and learning to the furthest reaches of the internet in the years since then.

The brief Jar'Edo article read:

In Australian Aboriginal mythology, Jar'Edo Wens is a god of earthly knowledge and physical might, created by Altjira to oversee that the people did not get too big-headed, associated with victory and intelligence.

(A person working from the same anonymous IP address also attempted to add a god called "Yohrmum" to the list, in case there's any doubt that Jar'Edo was a work of fiction.)

According to Wikipediocracy, Jare'Edo Wens is the longest-running hoax in Wikipedia history; its article sat on the site for nine years before it was recognized as fiction in November 2014 and finally deleted earlier this month. But by then, the internet had already accepted Jar'Edo as real.

In addition to Atheism and the Case Against Christ author McCormicka professor of philosophy at Sacramento StateJar'Edo managed to dupe the editors of several non-English Wikipedias, many of which still list him alongside legitimate Aboriginal gods. (Here's Jar'Edo on the Russian, Polish, French, and Turkish sites.) Wikipediocracy also notes a 2013 sci-fi novel called The Captain's Propensity: The Andromeda Incident II with a character named Jar'Edo Wens, though "whether that's a coincidence, a knowing wink, or an attempt to reuse the name of a genuine Aboriginal mythological figure for dramatic purpose is an open question."

It doesn't stop there: Jar'Edo also turns up in online dictionaries, spammy-looking sites about religion, rhetorically-challenged debates in the comments sections of news articles, Yahoo! Answers threads, and, of course, vaguely "spiritual" Tumblrs.

More than any other telescope in orbit, Hubble has expanded the frontiers of human knowledge.

For 25 years, astronomers have used it to peer deep into distant galaxies with unrivalled clarity, revealing the breathtaking beauty of our universe.

In the April issue of National Geographic, some of the most stunning images beamed back for the telescope have been revealed.

The Horsehead Nebula is a cold, dark cloud of gas and dust, silhouetted against the bright nebula IC 434. The bright area at the top left edge is a young star still embedded in its nursery of gas and dust.The nebula is relatively close at 1,500 light years from Earth
