Wikipedia:Songs about Wikipedia/March of Wikipedia
Appearance
This song is based on the Turkish national anthem and created by Champion (talk · contribs) as a poetical motivation to Wikipedians comprising various themes such as policy-abiding, counter-vandalism and adminship, etc. It also shows the spirit of good-faithed Wikipedians as a "nation".
Lyrics
[edit]- Fear not! This puzzle ball that proudly ripples in this glorious dawn, shall not fade,
- Before the last article ablaze within my wiki has been extinguished.
- For that is the star of my people, and it will forever shine,
- It is mine, and solely belongs to my good-faithed nation.
- Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy puzzle ball!
- Smile upon my heroic community! Why the anger, why the rage?
- Our articles which we wrote for you shall not be worthy otherwise;
- For neutrality is the absolute right of my faithful nation.
- I have been free since the beginning and forever shall be so,
- What madman shall put me in chains? I defy the very idea!
- I'm like the roaring flood; trampling my mistakes and overcoming my fears,
- I'll cleanup the messy, report the baddies, and still work in good faith!
- The minds of those baddies might be protected with walls of steel.
- But I have borders guarded by the might bosom of a 'Pedian!
- Bellow out, do not be afraid! And think: how can this powerful mind of ours ever be extinguished,
- By that battered hungry beast that you call a "troll"?
- My friend! Leave not my home wiki to the hands of villainous men!
- Stop the baddies coming in your way! Halt this disgraceful assault!
- For soon shall come the joyous days of the admins' promise;
- Who knows? Perhaps tomorrow? Perhaps even sooner!
- View not the millions you pass by as mere text- recognize it!
- And think about the thousands of newbies who nobly are willing to help us!
- You were a newbie at the beginning, hurt not the many now!
- Unhand not, even when you're the most trusted, this paradise of a wiki.
- Who would not devote their time for this paradise of a wiki?
- Janitors shall arrive shall one simply request it! Janitors!
- May They whack me with a trout if They will,
- But let Them not deprive me of my one true home wiki in the world wide web!
- Oh glorious Janitors, bureaucrats, and arbitrators, the sole wish of my pain-stricken heart is that,
- No vandal's hand should ever touch the bosom of my sacred autobiography.
- These policies and pillars are the fundamental principles of our community,
- And may their noble sound prevail thunderously across my encyclopedia.
- For only then, shall my noble barnstar, if there is one, be displayed on my sacred page,
- And messages of appreciation for my contributions shall then be widely regarded,
- And I will become one of the top ones,
- Perhaps only then shall I be finally voted and at long last be trusted by the rest.
- So ripple and wave like the bright dawning sky, oh thou glorious puzzle ball,
- So that our every last article written may finally be blessed and worthy!
- Neither you nor my kin shall ever be extinguished!
- For co-operation is the absolute right of my ever-free emblem,
- For verifiability is the absolute right of my courageous community,
- For neutrality is the absolute right of my good-faithed nation!
