Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not/Outtakes

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 portions 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 portions of the policy that may have been removed had they been added in the editing process, but nonetheless have relevance to the policy. In effect, What Wikipedia is not – Outtakes may provide a perspective to the What Wikipedia is not official policy to provide the reader a better understanding of what Wikipedia is not.

Note: Some really bad jokes are now at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not/BJAODN.

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.")

There Is No Cabal (TINC). We discussed this at the last Cabal meeting, and everyone agreed that There Is No Cabal. An announcement was made in Cabalist: The Official Newsletter of The Cabal making it clear that There Is No Cabal. The words "There Is No Cabal" are in ten-foot letters on the side of the 42-story International Cabal Headquarters, and an announcement that There Is No Cabal is shown at the start of every program on The Cabal Network. If that doesn't convince people that There Is No Cabal, I don't know what will. --Guy Macon (talk) 09:53, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a game

Do you think this is some kind of game? (WP:MMORPG notwithstanding.)

Wikipedia is not the Bible

Don't put Bible copypasta here. As stated in the gospel according to Saint Jimbo 4:20, God has commanded it.

Wikipedia is not a kitten

Though sometimes cute and cuddly, Wikipedia is not a kitten. Please do not stroke it lovingly.

Wikipedia is not a lightbulb

It is worth noting that if an engineer builds a better lightbulb, this engineering will have no noticeable impact on Wikipedia policies, guidelines or consensus.

Wikipedia is not a mobile phone company

So it won't send you either a £500,000 phone bill or send you a 300-page bill.

Wikipedia not is a place for cybersex

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 EXAMPLES Chola 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)

Can you give me a link to Cholga's funny revisions about elephants from Antarctica overpopulating the world in their backyard? I'd like to read it. Thanks. --Darth Tacker (talk) 23:36, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a guttermouth convention

So please refrain from using profanity. Or else I'm bringing the mammoths back from extinction and let them take over the Illuminati so you'll never explode on us again like a pig wearing a torpedo on his macaroni and T-shirts again that have the letter = on it. And don't climb the angry mastodons dressed as a ton of bricks! And if you find yourself digging deeper Kool-aids, stop being a jerk!

Wikipedia is not a song parody

Hey I just met you – and this is crazy – but I hate swearing – so stop it maybe

Wikipedia is not a place for whatever vandalism or disruption is happening above

So please don't do what whoever is doing that nonsense above Wikipedia articles. That's just stupid.

Wikipedia is not a place to create secret hidden messages

By embedding them in blocks of otherwise innocuous text. Did I just give something away?

Wikipedia is not a place to dump large quantities of material copied from "My Documents"

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!)

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 leave out punctuation

It gets really confusing if you leave out punctuation marks please use them it makes long sentences easier to read and makes it clear exactly what you are on about

Wikipedia is not a place to post half-finished sentences

Half-finished articles and Candlejack are fine, but please finish your sen

Poor thing – only did it for the lulz.

Wikipedia is not a place to invent new spelling and grammar

It hinders communication if we don't use the same spelling or grammar. Yes, you can decide to use non-standard fleemishes and the reader can still gloork the meaning from the context, but there ix a limit; If too many ot the vleeps are changed, it becomes harder and qixer to fllf what the wethcz is blorping, and evenually izs is bkb longer possible to ghilred frok at wifx.

Wikipedia is not a place to type things while not looking at your keyboard

Wikipedia is not a place

Wikipedia is not a site opposing random and trivial fictional stuff

On the contrary. Wikibooks and Fandom were created for a reason.

Wikipedia is not a soapbox

So don't expect to find any leftovers for the next batch of laundry (ba-dum-psssh).

And don't expect to have an audience for your jokes =)

Wikipedia is not a text adventure

You have been eaten by a Grue
Restore, Restart, or Quit?

Granted, we have edit counts for levels (but not to the extent of Everything 2); edit distribution and other 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).

It's really amazing to learn the things that Wikipedia is not ...

• Wikipedia is not a load of old cobblers
• Wikipedia is not a revolution
• Wikipedia is not a viral marketing tool
• Wikipedia is not alone
• Wikipedia is not an atomistic universe of monkeys each at its own typewriter at the Wayback Machine (archived 2012-07-22)
• Wikipedia is not an epistemology silver bullet
• Wikipedia is not not doomed
• Wikipedia is not just one more new gizmo arriving on the scene

Wikipedia is not an airline

Wikipedia cannot process your flight arrangements, and Wikipedia does not have cheap flights. It also doesn't charge $2/min for a phone call.

Wikipedia is not an infinite source of processing power

So please don't add lots of links, you could use up its bandwidth and the bandwidth is needed for real articles. Thank you very much.

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 their convenience and addiction, to each according to their 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.

Actually no, Wikipedia is communism. Sorry.

Wikipedia is not Juche

Our supreme leader Jimbo Wales said that if we make Wikipedia juche, all of us and everyone up to our grandparents and grandkids will be incarcerated for life.

Wikipedia is not done messing with your human rights

Wikipediä ist nicht nur für Deutsche

Hauptartikel: Wikipedia:En.Wiki is not De.Wiki
Wikipediä ist für die Welt. Ja, die deutsche Wikipediä ist populärer als die Englische Wikipediä, ja, Deutschland hat die einzige gedruckte Wikipediä-Editiön der Welt. Ja, Wikipediä unterstützt Ünicöde, was die ganzen Ümläüte möglich macht. Ja der Übermensch Jimbo Wäles wurde prophezeit vom deutschen Philösöphen Friedrich Nietzsche. Und schließlich, ja, Wikipediä ist wird mit einem "V-soünd" ausgesprochen, wie Sie es nennen auf Englisch. Nichtsdestotrotz, Wikipediä ist nicht nur für Deutsche!

(Wikipedia is for the World. Yes, German Wikipedia is more popular than English Wikipedia. Yes, Germany has the only printed Wikipedia edition in the world. Yes, Wikipedia supports unicode, for Löts öf ümläuts. Yes, Jimbo Wales the Superman is prophesied by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. And finally, yes, Wikipedia is pronounced with a "V-sound" as you call it in English. Nonetheless, Wikipedia is not only for Germans!)

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.

  • Well, bitch, that's how my f***ing website works, so leave me f***ing alone.

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.
