I am a Misplaced Pages editor. Just a blip in a database.
Wikiphilosophy
Netoholic's Law
As a wiki discussion grows longer, the probability of an accusation by one user of another acting unilaterally approaches one.
- Look, I've made thousands of "unilateral" edits, so probably have you. It's a wiki. Get over it.
- Corollary: One can substitute any of the following for "unilaterally", and the law still works -- "against consensus", "mindlessly", "carelessly", "out of process". Any of these words indicates you might be facing off against a wiki-warrior.
Other wisdom
- The opposite of deletionism is not inclusionism; rather, the opposite is contribution.
- Misplaced Pages:Ignore all rules does not mean "Fuck the rules".
Citing WP:IAR isn't something to get you out of giving a good explanation. Its an apology you give when keeping track of the rules got too unbearable and you just wanted to write an encyclopedia. - <jwales> There are people who have good sense. There are idiots. A consensus of idiots does not override good sense. Misplaced Pages is not a democracy.
- It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.
- You don't have to like your subject to write a sound article about it. Sometimes it's better not to like it, as there's a greater incentive to be neutral. - Peridon
- /Admins
- Let he who is without POV cast the first {{cn}}.
- The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.
Wikibrags
- /Rescued from Category:Candidates for speedy deletion
- 2004: Inventor of infobox templates, such as Infobox City (now {{Infobox settlement}}, Infobox Biography ({{Infobox person}}), and even the base Template:Infobox now used on ~7% of all articles.
- 2004: Initial proposal for the television programming naming convention
- 2004: Prevented the death of an unusual list.
- 2005: Chief complainer about conditional meta-templates, a problem which eventually inspires mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions
- 2006: I killed a pretty leet featured article.
- 2014: Improved the quality of a particular article 625772189%, but then the rats nibbled it down and made it a mess again.
- 2016: After about two years of effort, finally attended the funeral of the atrocity that was {{Cite doi}}.
Hilarity ensues
This section needs more cowbell. You can help by adding more cowbell. |
- Skateboarding trick
- "honk honk here comes the banmobile"
- User:Dmn(*) says goodbye in his own special way - Get A Life You Nob (see contribs from Dec 31 2004)
- It's important to warn users
- "Human should be a disambig page."
- Maybe this page should have used protection?
- "Misplaced Pages is a damn encyclopedia."
- Who doesn't like Skittles, though?
- Disambiguation can be a funny thing: Telenovela (TV series), Film (film), Film... (TV programme), Television (film). Notfilm (film) moved to Notfilm
- "O Baby, Oh Baby, Ooh Baby, Ooh Baby Baby, or Ooh Ooh Baby may refer to:"
- "It could be argued that the entire article is SYNTH."
