Couldn't resist. I've met too many star-children on that site.

Wikipedia: The site that dismisses Encyclopedia Britannica as done by people without expertise, mostly relying on personal memory and lots of original research.

They suck but they're not Dyson. They have no balls, and at least one dusty old bag.

I was originally, er, initially thinking a bit like this —

Wikipedia: the encyclopedia for comrades with as few mistakes as the 'Encyclopedia Albica-Englandica-Cymrica-et-The-Little-Bit-of-Eire-They-Gave-to-Some-Backstabbing-Proddie-Bastards-ica'. (See: here)

"British Isles ... the new Sea of Japan or Macedonia-Greece debate"

Let's face it, why should a bunch of 2,000 year old Italians get to name everything when it was all WP:OR anyway?

And don't forget the English Channel. The French call it La manche - the sleeve. And then there's the Irish Sea. We used to call the North Sea the German Sea - until we realised the Germans didn't own it!



And of course Britannica has been produced in America for over a century.

Ah, interesting ... old world pretensions, eh? Caught by their own con.

Wikipedia: Encyclopedia Americanesis

It is both the most cutting and the most benign thing I have written about it here.

Wikipedia, "an Encyclopedia for America" (... and all who may sail in her).

Which is funny because most American voices I read about it are sure it is full of Commie Pinko Euro trash scum who could not get a job with the Devil's own TV station (CNN) and are against rifle ownership ... is that why only Fox TV were prepared to stand against it?

(I am sorry but anything that start claiming to be doing it "for the world" is basically a cult, or a con, or both.)

MMORPG = Massive Misuse Of Rollback Protect and Gag

"It's one thing when kiddies at home or school do a bit of Wikipedia vandalism, but this is a reputable IT company with people who should know better," says one Wikinsider. "Or perhaps they don't realise IP addresses are tracked and logged in which case they get what they deserve."


After blocking a Volvo IT business address permanently for IP vandalism.

And thus we see (once again) that all the WMF puffery about CONTENT holding sway over all rules (WP:IAL), is indeed just so many lies. WP will indeed react differently if the same vandalism comes from a school library rather than some corporate building. It isn't what happens to the encyclopedia they care about, so much as WHO DOES IT.

As we've said all along.

Or to paraphrase a certain humble farmer-We win, bitches.

Ya know, that would make a nice cartoon.

Having trouble thinking outside of the box?

You get 4 weeks for that on Wikipedia. I've never actually seen it, so my apologies if it's shit. Clearing up (or over) the evidence of various crimes sounds about right for WP admin.

And I thought that was a reference to Jimbo sex life. Updated motto above.

Wikipedia: the slum of all human knowledge.

How about the sump of all human knowledge, using sump in the sense of a cesspool?

Very good ... deserves rendering in technicolor.

To wit, I say ...

Does that make Jimbo the schlump of all knowledge?

"Sump" is more graphic, but less rhymey, and VoC already has patent on lake-o-shit metaphors. That comic is outstanding, and the action poses totally remind me of the old comicbook Sea Monkeys ads. There are at least two more levels of affinity to seamonkeys... see if you can find them!

I vote for this.
