Drop B Tuning?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
If C Standard is C-F-A♯-D♯-G-C, then wouldn't Drop B be B-F-A♯-D♯-G-C,.
How come Wikipedia says Drop b is B F# B E G# C#.
I'm confused..?

You're thinking of drop B as being C standard, with the lowest string dropped by one half-step.
Usually drop B refers to C# standard, with the lowest string dropped two half-steps.
C# standard is C# - F# - B - E - G# - C#
So drop B is B - F# - B - E - G# - C#
Alternatively, you could think of it as drop D, with everything lowered three half-steps - it works out the same.
