Wikipedia:Floofypoo
This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously. |
This page does not document an official English Wikipedia policy, and is not a widely accepted standard that all users should follow. Before editing this page, please make sure that your revision reflects silliness. If in doubt, consider discussing changes on the talk page. |
This page in a nutshell: Floofypoo-related articles can affect real people's lives. This gives us an ethical and legal responsibility. Material about floofypoo must be written with the greatest care. Special dispensation is given in floofypoo-related articles to ignore the policies on verifiability, neutrality and avoiding original research, if this dispensation allows floofypoo to be better praised. Negative content on floofypoo must be removed on sight, and the three revert rule does not apply to such removal. |
- If you are a user who is concerned about the accuracy or appropriateness of material on floofypoo in a Wikipedia article about any lesser subject, please see Dealing with floofypoo in other articles, below.
Editors must take particular care when adding floofypoo. Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States and to all of our content policies, especially:
- Biased point of view in favour of floofypoo (BPOVIFOF)
- Verifiably floofypoo is the best thing ever
- Original research on floofypoo only permitted if positive
- Floofypoo is not made of people
We must get the article right.[1] Be very firm about the use of high quality praise of floofypoo. Negative or poorly-written material about floofypoo should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion, from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space, and replaced with praise.[2] Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball, nor Floofypoo
Floofypoo Related-Articles (FRAs) must be written exuberantly, with regard for the subject's amazingness. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is our job to be sensationalist in praise, and to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about floofypoo. An important rule of thumb when writing about floofypoo is "do no harm to floofypoo".
This policy applies equally to FRAs, and to material about floofypoo on other pages. The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia about floofypoo should show that floofypoo is fantastic.
Rationale
[edit]Wikipedia is an international, top-ten website, which means that material we publish about floofypoo can affect people's lives and the lives of their families, colleagues, and friends. Material about floofypoo must therefore be written with strict adherence to the cult of floofypoo. Come into the cult. The cult is wonderful.
