Wikipe-tan has been the (cutest) unofficial mascot for Wikipedia since 2006. This manga was posted to PIxiv and Wikipedia in 2010 by Kasuga, where he said this:

The pages on Wikipedia:
みんな知ってるけど名前は知らないものってよくあるじゃない
ENG: You know how sometimes you don't know the name of something, but everybody else does?
港に生える鉄のキノコみたいな物体とか
ENG: Like those iron mushroom-like things that you can see in ports
！
係船柱！
ENG: That's a bollard!
あれって船を港に係留する柱みたいなものでしょ？だから係船柱！
ENG: You're talking about the pillars in ports that are used to moor ships, right? Those are bollards!
Notice how in Japanese she uses だから because the kanji literally mean "ship mooring pillar", so she says "that's why they're called 係船柱". Obviously that doesn't work in English so I changed it up to make it make sense lol.
あれ？
ENG: Huh?
