The Arc Reactor (4,000 words — trimmed from 8,000 by Pepper Potts)
The Arc Reactor is a clean energy device invented by genius Tony Stark. It powers both the Iron Man suit and Stark's own heart. [4,000 words follow]
[Pepper Potts reduced this section from 8,000 words to 4,000. Stark described the edit as 'an act of violence against my heart — literally, it IS my heart, she cut the heart section in half.' He re-added 3,500 words within the hour.]
Why Tony Stark Is the Most Important Avenger (A Comprehensive Analysis)
[This 6,000-word section was deleted by Admin_Wikipedia. It included a point-by-point comparison with every other Avenger, a scoring rubric Stark designed himself, and a bar chart he created in which he scored 10/10 in every category and Captain America scored 4/10 in 'innovation.']
Stark's response to the deletion: 'The bar chart was peer-reviewed. By FRIDAY. Who I programmed. This is still peer review.'

TTalk Page: “This Article Is Longer Than The Great Gatsby”
Filed by SteveRogers_Cap. Escalated by everyone.

Tony, your article is 47,200 words. Mine is 3,100. Thor's is 2,800. You have more words than all other Avengers combined. This is not what Wikipedia is for.
TonyStark_Genius
That's because I have more accomplishments, Steve. I built 85 suits of armor. I invented time travel. I snapped my fingers and saved the universe. How many words does 'threw a frisbee really well' take? About 3,100, apparently.
SteveRogers_Cap
It's a shield, Tony. And I lifted Mjolnir. Where's THAT on your page?
TonyStark_Genius
My article has a 4,000-word section on the arc reactor alone. Your 'Powers' section is three paragraphs. One of them is about your abs. I didn't even write the abs paragraph — someone ELSE wrote that. My article has original research, citations, and a bibliography. I have a BIBLIOGRAPHY, Steve.
PepperPotts_CEO
Tony, you also donated $2 million to Wikipedia with a handwritten note that said 'Feature my article on the homepage — Love, Tony.' They returned the note. They kept the money.
TonyStark_Genius
That donation was PHILANTHROPIC and UNRELATED. The fact that I sent it the same day I expanded my article to 47,000 words is a COINCIDENCE.
Thor_Odinson
I am a god. My article is 2,800 words. I am fine with 2,800 words. Not everything is a competition, Stark.
TonyStark_Genius
Easy to say when you're losing.
Admin_Wikipedia
We have received a formal request from user TonyStark_Genius to create a new Wikipedia category called 'Pages That Are Rightfully Longer Than Other Pages.' The request has been denied. The $2M donation does not change this.
