Hilarity ensues
| File:Cowbell2.gif | This section needs more cowbell. You can help by adding more cowbell. |
- Skateboarding trick
- "honk honk here comes the banmobile"
- User:Dmn(*) says goodbye in his own special way - Get A Life You Nob (see contribs from Dec 31 2004)
- It's important to warn users
- "Human should be a disambig page."
- I thought the page was using protection!
Ideas
Netoholic's Law
As a wiki discussion grows longer, the probability of an accusation by one user of another acting unilaterally approaches one.
- Look, I've made thousands of "unilateral" edits, so probably have you. It's a wiki. Get over it.
Corollary
One can substitute any of the following for "unilaterally", and the law still works -- "against consensus", "mindlessly", "carelessly". Any of these words indicates you might be facing off against a wiki-warrior.
Other wisdom
- The opposite of deletionism is not inclusionism; rather, the opposite is contribution.
- Wikipedia:Ignore all rules is a paradox. One is expressly failing to "ignore all rules" by citing WP:IAR.
In other words, if you do something and justify it with IAR, you are implicitly acknowledging that there are rules.
- <jwales> There are people who have good sense. There are idiots. A consensus of idiots does not override good sense. Wikipedia is not a democracy.
Scratchpad
- [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} edit] edit
- [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=purge}} purge] purge
