The Scots Wikipedia Articles Vandalism meme refers to the 2020 discovery that nearly half of the articles on the Scots-language Wikipedia were written by an American teenager who did not speak the language. Under the username AmaryllisGardener, the editor spent years 'translating' English articles into a bizarre phonetic version of a Scottish accent rather than the actual Scots language. When the story broke on Reddit, it became an instant legend of internet absurdity. The meme typically highlights themes of extreme overconfidence, the 'fake it till you make it' strategy, or the chaotic vulnerability of open-source knowledge platforms like Wikipedia.
