Wikipedia:Songs about Wikipedia/Party in the Wiki Way
I hopped on my 'puter, feeling a
Strong WiFi connection
Welcome to the free encyclopedia (woah)
Am I gonna fit in?
Editing an article, no way
Look to my right, and I see my user page
This feels impossible
Everybody is so knowledgeable
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' alerted
What if my changes get reverted
That's when I get a notification
Someone thanks me for my edit
Someone thanks me for my edit
Someone thanks me for my edit
So I put my hands down
And start typing, then I hit save
Citing my sources like, yeah
Signing my posts like, yeah
I got my hands up, they're reading my edits
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the Wiki way!
Yeah, it's a party in the Wiki way!
Get to the WikiProject on my Mac
Everybody's looking at me now
Like, "Who's that user with the weird signa-ture?
They gotta be from out of town"
So hard, memorizing all this policy
It's definitely not lacking in bureaucracy
'Cause all I see is WP:NOTABLE
I guess my subject was forgettable
My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kind of worried
Were my changes too hurried?
That's when my notifications ping
And my draft just got approved
And my draft just got approved
And my draft just got approved
So I put my hands up
Then I put them down, on the keyboard they now lay
Copyediting pages like yeah
Reverting vandalism like yeah
I got my hands up, they're reading my article
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the Wiki way!
