Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not/Outtakes
This is a humorous essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors and is made to be humorous. This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. This essay isn't meant to be taken seriously. |
What Wikipedia is not - Outtakes is a composition that explores the Wikipedia official policy What Wikipedia is not. As noted in that policy, "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and, as a means to that end, an online community of individuals interested in building a high-quality encyclopedia in a spirit of mutual respect. Therefore, there are certain things that Wikipedia is not." For example, Wikipedia content is not a paper encyclopedia, a dictionary, a blog or webspace provider, or a crystal ball and the Wikipedia community is not a democracy, bureaucracy, battleground, or an anarchy. Importantly, Wikipedia is not censored. However, since What Wikipedia is not was first developed beginning at least as early as September 24, 2001, a number of proposed additions never made it in. This essay looks at portion of the policy that were removed in the editing process and not included in the work's final, publicly released version. In addition, it looks at portion of the policy that may have been removed had they been added in the editing process, but none the less have a relevance to the policy. In effect, What Wikipedia is not - Outtakes may provide a perspective to the What Wikipedia is not offical policy to provide the reader a better understanding of what Wikipedia is not.

Wikipedia is not repetitive
Simple enough
Wikipedia is not The Internet Oracle
"It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced."
Which Journal of Prophecy is acceptable?
Reliable Prophets and reliable Organizations for Prediction must be documented as such in a Wikipedia:Main namespace page before they can be cited on wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not the place to blow your teacher
Because they dont like you.
What Wikipedia is not, according to the Blogosphere
It's really amazing to learn the things that Wikipedia is not...
- Wikipedia is not Wiki
- Wikipedia is not a revolution
- Wikipedia Is Not the Lovefest We Thought
- Wikipedia is not a viral marketing tool
- Wikipedia is not a load of old cobblers
- Wikipedia is Not the Next Google, and furthermore, Wikipedia is not all powerful over Google
- Wikipedia is not the answer
- Wikipedia is not an epistemology silver bullet
- Wikipedia is not alone
- Wikipedia is not an atomistic universe of monkeys each at its own typewriter
- Wikipedia is not just one more new gizmo arriving on the scene
- Wikipedia is not the truth!
- Wikipedia is not so human
- Wikipedia is not doomed
Wikipedia is not a brand of soda
And even if it was, nobody would buy it because it sucks (like Duncan).
Mountain Dew is better.

Thank God!

Need I explain more?
Wikipedia is not communism
Despite the assertions of many a vandal, Wikipedia is not, in fact, communism. Jimbo Wales is not really Che Guevara, Emma Goldman, or Stalin; Larry Sanger is not Trotsky; and Wikipedia was not founded in a bloody and violent armed revolution against Encyclopædia Brittanica imperialism. Furthermore, no matter what anyone will tell you, Wikipedia is not owned in common by the workers. Wikipedia belongs to the world. From each according to his/her convenience and addiction, to each according to his/her bandwidth (as long as the site is still up).
In fact, Wikipedia is the opposite of communism. Communism succeeds in theory but fails in practice; Wikipedia fails in theory but succeeds in practice.
If you don't have a religion that is.
Wikipedia is not David Hasselhoff
It is true that Wikipedia is far more popular in Germany than in its native United States. It is true that Wikipedia is often surrounded by attractive women in bikinis. And it is true that Wikipedia has more "cool" and "sex appeal" than any other 1980's TV star. Despite these similarities, however, Wikipedia is not David Hasselhoff.
Wikipedia is not the Second Coming[dubious – discuss]
Wikipedia is bigger than Jesus.[1] Wikipedia is even bigger than the Beatles![2] Hell, it's even bigger than me.[3] But only just. Wikipedia is even making a run at porn.[4] Wikipedia is more important than life.[5] Wikipedia is bigger than the universe.[6] Where will this end?
Wikipedia is not God.
God is.
Wikipedia is still not God
Jesus is.
Wikipedia is not not God
It has pocket lint, and no tea.
Wikipedia is not a cabal
Wikipedia is only run by a cabal. Of thousands. But don't worry—you, too, can join the cabal by making a history of constructive, high-quality edits. That, and learn the secret password. (It's "Swordfish.")
Wikipedia is not a site opposing random and trivial fictional stuff
On the contrary. Wikibooks and Wikia were created for a reason.
Wikipedia is not a place to masturbate
Wikipedia is not a porn site or any other place to masturbate. Every masturbation or "varied sex" infobox has been deleted. See {{User varied sex}}.
While Wikipedia is not pr0n, it is also not not pr0n. If that makes any sense.
Wikipedia is not a place for perky people
^_^ =3 :D ;D =) ;-) =^_^= ^^ >_> :) :P
Wikipedia is a not a place for well-written articles on pokémon
One of our best articles actually is about a Pokémon! (At least, it was.)
Wikipedia is not a place to find The Truth
The Truth is out there . . . wait, sorry, I mean out there. Really. I mean it. Turn off the computer and go outside now. You have had enough for one day.
Wikipedia is not a place to boost one's ego
Perhaps this one should be officially added, now that the edit count tools are whack, and considering that the vast majority of editors are non-notable individuals.
Wikipedia is not an MMORPG
Granted, we have edit counts for levels (but not to the extent of Everything 2); edit distribution and othat stats; administrators, arbitrators, vandals, and so on for classes; sockpuppets for using "summons" on a hacked character; over 1.3 million players; over 1,130,000 locations (including 900+ Featured towns and cities), pubs (talk pages); quest rewards (barnstars); boss battles (FAC); class change trials (RFA), and battle arenas (AIV).
Wikipedia is not a place to tell really filthy but totally funny jokes
I told you it wasn't.
Wait a second, it so is...
Wikipedia is not Pokémon
Once you get 8 Good Article badges, you won't be going to fight the Elite Four (Raul, Larry, Curps, and Kasuga) and the Champion (Jimbo).
Wikipediä ist nicht nur für Deutsche
Wikipediä ist für die Welt. Ja, die Deutschewikipediä ist more popular than die Englishwikipediä, Ja, Deutschland hat die only Printedwikipediäeditiön in der Welt. Ja, Wikipediä supports Ünicöde, allowing für Lötsöfümläuts. Ja, Jimbo Wäles ist der Übermensch prophesied by Deutschphilözopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Und finally, ja, Wikipediä ist pronounced mit einem "V-soünd" as you call it in Englisch. Nonetheless, Wikipediä ist nicht nur für Deutsche!
Wikipedia is not a kitten
Though sometimes cute and cuddly, Wikipedia is not a kitten. Please do not stroke it lovingly. Wikipe-tan is though, but you may get odd looks from the rest of us.
Wikipedia is not a sexual lubricant
No explanation needed.
But knowing some of the stuff here could theoretically get you laid.

Wikipedia is not a giant, blue and green striped, pink and purple polkadotted, odorous, pizza-covered, telephone-eating, lederhosen-wearing, Republican, bloodstained homicidal soda-sippin' piece of shit maniac named Bob
This follows from the fact that Wikipedia is not Republican.
Wikipedia is not a spoon
But you can still eat soup with it, although it might be wise to invest in a new computer. Also, Wikipedia is there, as opposed to the spoon.
Wikipedia is not a duck
Wikipedia is not a place to post half-finished sentences
Half-finished articles and Candlejack are fine, but please finish your sen
- Poor thing - he only did it for the lulz.
Wikipedia is not a place for an argument
Yes it is. No it isn't. Yes it is. No it isn't.
That's not an argument, that's just a contradiction!
No it's not.
Yes it is. An argument is an intellectual process, intended to establish a proposition. That's not just saying, "No it isn't".
Yes it isnt.
No, it isn't.
Look -- if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
DUNCAN <dead argument sketch continues in random order ad infinitum>
Wikipedia is not repetitive
Wikipedia is not a place for vandalism
You said: "I think you are being anal retentive and a hardass, i see how the comments on the talk page of that are unconstrucitve but it was a joke and i thought that it would be okay on the talk page. regarding + Did anyone else think that this is some funny shit!?Cholga 19:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC) that is not vandalism it was a legitimate question about what people thought about the colbert report thing. WHAT OTHER VANDALISM ARE YOPU TALKING ABOUT, YOU SAID YOU COULD COME UP WITH ANOTHER EXAMPLE I AM FURIOUS I AM USING BOLD I AM A SUPERSTAR SHOW ME THE MONEY? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE SUPPOSED OTHER EXAMPLESChola out"
- I'm complaining about your claim that you have elephants in your back yard, that elephants live in Antarctica, and that they are overpopulating the world. Article discussion pages are to be used for improving the quality of the article and this is noted at the top of that particular article. Unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. --Yamla 19:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a window shade
You can't use it to darken your house. Well, you could print out articles and use those, but Wikipedia itself is not a shade. Don't even think about it.

- Overall, I'd give Wikipedia very high marks. My only criticism is that the "anyone can edit" philosophy makes the website very prone to abuse. But, otherwise, a very good encyclopedia.
- Well, bitch, that's how my f***ing website works, so leave me f***ing alone.
- Wow. You're mature </Sarcasm> If you're going to bitch every time someone gives you constructive criticism, then maybe you shouldn't be here.

And on a further note, Wikipedia is not Final Fantasy XI
Wikipedia is not a Big Brother contestant
So you can't nominate it for eviction. But you can nominate the stupid contestant's pages for deletion. Or be bold and redirect them to the article of the Big Brother season they appeared. Unless of course they have been all over the news for saving baby seals, or they happen to be best friends with Paris Hilton, or written a best seller, or did the nasty with Richard Hatch. Other than those things, there is no reason to have individal articles on Big Brother contestants just for being on/or winning the show! Get a life.
Wikipedia is not a phone-in competition
But, if it was, they'd either be won by someone who works for Wikipedia[8] or have already chosen the winner before closing the lines[9].
It also follows that they'll also rig phone-in polls as well[10], or charge more than they should for those votes[11].
Besides, if it was a phone-in competition, the winner will be someone who works behind the scenes, without the host's knowledge[12]. Either that, or say the show with less votes is the winner[13] and be fined less than they made[14].
Wikipedia is not a Salmon

Because enclopedias do not need to source obvious information[citation needed]. Grass is green[citation needed], the sky is blue[citation not needed], ice is white[citation needed], Wikipedia is full of silly people[citation needed].
- Actually, most, but not all, grasses are predominantly (but not entirely) green because chloroplasts are green.[citation needed] The sky isn't blue, refraction of sunlight makes it look blue[citation needed] (if human eyes were more evenly sensitive across the visible spectrum, the sky would be purple with a blue tinge[citation needed]). Ice from pure water is actually clear[citation needed], but looks blue (not white) for similar reasons[citation needed]. But the author surely knew that.[citation needed]

Wikipedia is not a license to abuse the rules of language
Spellcheckers and such, hmmm. Apparently someone went through the trouble to create these tools, so why should it trouble me to take the time to learn how to use them effectively?

- This Troper points out that YOU'RE the other wiki.

Wikipedia does not exist under the footnotes
Or maybe it does.
Wikipedia is not GoDaddy
In an expansion of the idea "Wikipedia is not a webspace provider"...
- It should not be used as a personal website or a personal blog, not even as a blog of your recent projects on Wikipedia.
- It cannot register your domain names for 99¢ for the first year.
- It is not-for-profit, so it does not require commercials where famous women like Stacy Keibler and Danica Patrick tease baring their breasts or beavers. (Though it would probably help come donation drive time.)
- It does not provide a wide array of automatically-installed web applications.
Therefore, Wikipedia is not GoDaddy.
Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia (part 2)
A proper encyclopedia wouldn't have FAKE STORIES in it.

Wikipedia usually doesn't look like this page
So if you happen to be here, disregard this page as humorous ramblings by editors who have little to very little life and want fame and fortune and everything that goes with it.
Wikipedia is not a Spandvut
The word doesn't even exist anyway.

So don't hunt it down trying to assassinate it.

Neither was it created in 1984.

Wikipedia is not the lead singer of A-ha
It ain't gonna drag you behind the milk rack and make you dance.
Wikipedia is not your GameBoy
Anyone get the reference? Anyone?
Wikipedia is certainly not a place to put an insane amount of material copied from your "My Documents" folder
Except for here:
The book Animal Farm is, clearly, a fictional story. However, this allegory’s connection to the early days of Communist Russia is all too true. The leading pigs of the Farm take control, not only of the establishment, but also of the residents. They are able to mislead the all-too-ignorant populace into thinking whatever they do is a good thing for all. The crookedness of Animal Farm’s government is shown from the very start, and comes through to the end, culminating in a slogan that was all too true when the real-life correlation to this story happened not so long ago.
The first flavor I would like to see is sweet onion. I like raw onions and I know that other people do too. In addition, the onion jelly bean would mix well with some of your existing jelly bean flavors. Another flavor that I thought would be exciting and popular is the egg flavored jelly bean. Many people I know eat eggs at all times of the day and so I think it would be a popular choice. Last, but not least, is the broccoli jelly bean. I understand that broccoli jelly beans might not sound very popular at first, but you could make them be a healthy snack to eat. If they were healthy, parents could get their kids to eat broccoli in a rather sweet way.
In the dining room, many pesky monsters roam, namely Werewolves and Headless Specters. However, they are no match for the mighty football helmet! Some of the collapsing floor tiles have snack boxes hidden directly under them. Jump quickly and take the risk of falling to grab these delicious packets of tastiness. Sometimes, the menacing lit fireplace may breathe fire, guarding a snack box. Time your jump carefully and snag it without being roasted. If you head-smash some webs against the wall, it will take you into a closet with some snacks and sandwiches in it. Although you might always have a full five dog-tags in health, it is a helpful oasis. (It’s also fun to stand in the right place and get the view from the inside of a rotating sandwich!)
