Editing Under the Influence, refers to editing while not in one's usual state of mind. This can obviously have a variety of meanings but results in an editor reviewing their edits on the next day and universally proclaiming "I wrote that?" and back-tracking to amend their pronouncements of the prior eve.
These edits may occur as the result of:
- Please add reasons:
- Extreme emotional or giddy disturbance.
- An intense desire to get away from the family right now.
- Huge bats and manta rays coming out of the sky.
- An enlightenment as the result of too much acetaminophen.
- An excuse to escape from what needs to be done tonight.
- Don't bother me, this is important.
- That last glass of wine made me see things so much more clearly.
- I finally figured out what to say to Jimbo to make him respond.
- Time's running out, I better finish, Im late for....
- Too late to go to bed anyway so I may as well WP for a while.
- If I look like this is important & intense they they wont bother me.
- Hmmm, TV sucks tonight, I think I'll make the internet not suck, (Ooooh).
- I'll just keep typing and someday they'll thank me.
- I'm tired, hungry, and thirsty, but 2,500,000 is right around the corner.
- I completely forgot to write that thing that I came to write!
- I read about the Wikipedia widow thing and that's definitely not me.
- I NEED TO WRITE, RIGHT NOW. Sorry, I NEED TO WRITE, RIGHT NOW. Sorry again, but I NEED TO SAY THIS RIGHT NOW.
- I have to keep writing, it's for my kid's future for God's sake.
- I'll need to tell everyone tomorrow what I did for mankind tonight.
- I'll show that user Raul that he's ....he's... well...well he knows it all (and he does).
- I came on online to tune my guitar but then... geesh!
- Influence? influence? Who me? No way man. I'm definitely not influenced by nobody, ya hear?
- I can do this because I'm gonna make him an offer that he can't refuse.
- Nostalgia. Haha! One year ago to this date I created a hoax. This means I broke the Wikisystem. But I'm not going to tell you people what it is. Keep you guessing. It amuses me when people can't find what they're looking for.
- I didn't say that! I thought I was logged into my sockpuppet's account. I mean, I haven't got a sockpuppet. Dammit, it must have been my little brother editing while I was temporarily away for a small period of time, volunteering down at the local childrens' hospice.
- Must. Defame. Political. Rival. Using popular open-source encyclopedia.
- Woops, thought I was playing Counter Strike. Thought the edit summary box was a zombie (Which this editor assumes they have on Counter Strike)
- I have to edit Wikipedia, it is part of my community service
- I express myself so much more clearly, and without hesitation, after I've had a little. And after a couple more, I'm not afraid of any of you!
- Since no one else said it, I'll just go ahead and say it flat out:
- Cause I'm f&&&ing wasted after 10 shots at home...
- Must....not...kill....kittens....
- ....
- Because I'm bored with my job, and I'm editing while giving the illusion that I'm working on my TPS reports.
