All of these developments seem to warrant a MLWiki

[bumppkathleen]

Well, by all means, focus on the Knot and ignore Jesus. We all know which entity is more important.

[hubes]

Excellent question Lucy. It takes two to have an edit war. Why is only BumpKathleen in danger of being banned?

Also, I'm beginning to understand why Wiki was never an approved source for any college papers.

So who is editing if not you? the log I saw stated that you were the one removing the content. Who is on the other end of this "editing war"?

Em.. you guys. ;D

You are looking at the history of the page itself, I saw the edit-war noted on one of our page protection pages (confusing huh?) where someone was asking for it to be locked to stop the edit-warring.

Poor Jesus. His shit is all unverified.

And people are fighting real wars over it. Tragic, really.

I avoid articles on

* religious figures
* The middle-east
* My little ponies

like the plague.

So who asked for the lockdown?

SmartSE supported by myself - there is no chance now it's not going to be locked down because you guys are now using IP addresses to add straight forward vandalism (changing names to Lord Vader that sort of stuff).

"That standard is not consistently applied. Please review the Jesus entry."

That's called "other stuff exists" - basically there is always problems with other articles that need fixing - there are currently 3000 on my backlist I need to get to... "I fucking love that source material is the only thing that matters. We all sort of know Wiki isn't necessarily concerned with fact, but it's refreshing to hear someone just up and say it."

People are always surprised to find out that it's one of most fundamental policies :-)

Eeesh...good luck with that.

[bumppkathleen]

C'mon Cameron. Kick back and have a drink. We are on the side of truth and justice (ETA: and sources!) here. I promise.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

Well this turned into eight different levels of awesome.

But spats between message-board users of a married women's site are like crack to you. I get it, I get it. We are an irresisible sort.

Well Jesus's talkboard is down and even in the name of duty I'm not joining a My Little Ponies talkboard!

[melindafelinda]

Talkboard makes me uncomfortable.

I am assuming the PTB at the Knot are disputing it.

Hi, another Wikipedia editor here - we don't actually care if they dispute it or not, we don't take sides like that.

The main considerations for us are:

1) Has a reliable source (Journal, newspaper, magazine) reported on this matter

2) Is our coverage a fair reflection of that reliable source?

That's the start and end of it for us - as noted, we don't accept talk-boards or personal accounts as reliable sources. We are interested in verification not truth.

There was someone on PCE who was looking for people to talk to her husband, and he was going to write an article (I think).

There was a poster on this board who was going to write a blog post, which is not a legitimate source according to wiki. I'm sorry I still can't stop LOLing at this.

Yes! And I lied, I do remember her s/n.

Thanks for all of this.

Why are we not our own source? Do I still exist?
Quick, somebody call Kai Ryssdal. Or those 4 hipsters that do the 'what we are talking about this weekend' spot.

Oh my gosh. I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. 😂

I did not give this the propah props today, fucking hilarious!

[Deleted]

Oh this is too funny. Cameron are you a paid employee of Wiki or one of the crazy volunteers who moderate shit like this for free? My brother is an unmedicated biploar who spent two years after college smoking Marlboro reds in my parent's attic editing Wikipedia. He was the HBIC of the military history section. He probably did it 14 hours a day when he wasn't playing World of Warcraft.

[lrachelle80]

(Saw this linked from TB and thought it was funny so checked it out....)

You can see a history of the revisions made....so many!

Omg. Someone call the coroner b/c I am fucking dead.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

I found this at the bottom of the 1st page when you sort by views. I felt it needed revisited.

[isabel]

Thank you, Ohm!

This is pure gold.

eta: do not use the search function on encyclopedia dramatica with the term "the nest." Something came up about centipede-filled vaginas. :-|
