Wikipedia:Lackluster prose

Wikipedia may have lots of brilliant prose, but on occasion, it is also host to really, painfully bad prose. Indeed, it is likely that Wikipedia contains several instances of the worst prose ever written in the English language. Below are some example of the more lackluster prose to be featured in Wikipedia articles for a significant period of time:
