By this definition, Wikipedia has a rich history of textual "graffiti." :-) Actually, I don't know much about graffiti, but it seems that there are many kinds present in Wikipedia, from the "kilroy was here" variety, to malicious defacing, to elaborate and sometimes pretty or interesting little stories and passages that simply don't belong.
