All of ye with Wikipedia accounts: vote or die! Also, should feature Wikipedia on our front page when/if they feature us? --EMC ^[TALK] 00:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

We already did our part back in 2005, now they need to return the favor. I don't have a Wikipedia account, so grr, I'll have to get one--Æ 00:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

We were going to be featured on April 1 '07. That didn't work out. I've snooped around, and it looks like "Toledo War" will be featured on April 1 '08. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 00:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and if you vote, you might want to help fix some of the problems users bring up with the article. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 00:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

And bear in mind that wikipedians hate sign-up and vote accounts. Prepare for accusations of sockpuppetry unless you actually contribute there more than to vote. Also, for featuring wikipedia if/when the time comes. Someone ought to polish it up. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 00:42, 10 Feb 2008

Maybe instead we should feature Uncyclopedia? – Kip > Talk • Works •• 00:49, Feb. 10, 2008

I'm assuming we should refrain from Zombiebaroning? ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF (@ 02:22 10 Feb, 2008)

Seriously, guys, don't vote unless you really have accounts, that you've used before. Maybe go to WP's RC and make about 40 or 50 reverts of vandalisms, they're really easy to find. If we get too many "sign-up-and-voters," The whole thing may be invalidated, as Spang said. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 04:53, Feb 10

Good thing my account has seen some action. But yeah, I can imagine that Wikipedia is scared of us enough as it is, they're probably looking for any excuse to invalidate the vote. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF (@ 05:03 10 Feb, 2008)

Doing work for Wikipedia is boring and I dislike that Wiki to begin with, so I'm not going to register.--Æ 14:00, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

you blew it!

Well, I had to explain the sign-up to vote accounts. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 17:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedians can't take it

Too much hilarity! They weren't programmed to handle it! Their heads will explode! DUCK AND COVER!!! -- » Sir Savethemooses Grand Commanding Officer ... holla atcha boy» 06:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks to me for nominating it.

Yeah, I'm Teh Rote on Wikipedia, and I think the Uncyclopedia article over there is pretty damn good. I might make an account here, not sure yet. 72.148.42.192 18:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

You should! It's easy, and afterwards, you have the power to bring color to Uncyclopedia. Unless the pictures you upload are black and white, of course, in which case you won't be adding much color. But still! - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 18:33, Feb 10

And you better not be planning on adding any colour. Color only 'round here. Bloody Brits. Unsolicited conversation Extravagant beauty PEEING 18:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, and you better have a sense of humor. If you have a sense of humour, then it might help you some since I have no sense of humour, only humor. =/ ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF (@ 22:04 10 Feb, 2008)

Get the vaseline. --EMC ^[TALK] 23:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Really? What on earth would possess you to do that? -Awesome Sauce 00:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Do what, oppose, get a rope, or get the vaseline? - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 00:20, Feb 11

Oppose, I suppose, although the lynching and/or keelhauling idea sounds fun.-Awesome Sauce 01:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, to quote that Laser brain guy:

1. The article does not meet 1a - it needs a neutral copyedit for flow, voice, and tone.
2. There are significant verifiability issues. The article should not being using Uncyclopedia or even Wikia related sites for sources in most cases. Neutral, reliable sources need to be found for most items, especially those that might be disputed. The vast majority of sources for this entire article are primary.
3. Pursuant to criterion 1a, there is not really a good narrative flow through the entire article. We talk about hosting, article content, and policies all over the place.
4. The listing of other language versions is larger than most others but contains mostly trivial content that might be better suited for a table. Prose is not a good choice when the same data is repeated for each entry.
5. There are minor issues as well - check for hyphens where em dashes or en dashes should be used. The "See also" section should not contain links to articles that are already linked in the main article.
6. The fair use rationale for the image in the lead is incorrect.
7. The fair use rationale and copyright templates for Image:398px-WP VS Eincyc.png are incorrect.

That reason enough? --Dexter111344 01:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, that tears it. All of you, get your asses over there and fix the above. -Awesome Sauce 01:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, as expected, the opposes are flooding in

I didn't really think it'd ever get featured, oh well. Nice try guys, I guess wikipedia just isn't ready to feature an article about us, yet. Apparently, we're NPOV with something about LEAD, and MOS, and about 20 other policies that I'll never read. Now I remember why I dislike their community so much. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 23:36, Feb 11

Just when I think Wikipedia can't possibly sink into lower depths of lameness... – Kip > Talk • Works •• 23:37, Feb. 11, 2008

Wikipedia used to be about the pages, man. Now, it's all about the "facts, neutrality and citations". Like the "...Examples, nothing about software/hardware, finances, structure. History and development are scanty..." comment. Pah! They wouldn't make it a minute in our world. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Damn these people are negative. I say we riot. Captain Can you read that? Feel the love. 00:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I just changed my oppose vote to support because some of the issues have been addressed. --Dexter111344 00:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

This is why Wikipedia is no fun at all

Wikipedia's Stylish Big Book of Rules on Style on Wikipedia. Wikipedians make me sad. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Wow, wikipedia has over 730 words about dashes. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 00:09, Feb 15

Yes, but aren't you a better person now that you know "...Other dashes These are avoided on Wikipedia, notably the double-hyphen (--)."? I know I am. Also, there's blood coming out of my ears. Is that normal? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:19, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so, but you should check wikipedia's policies just to be safe. They have a "Wikipedia:No bleeding out of your ears while reading wikipedia policies," right? - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 00:21, Feb 15

Duh. --EMC ^[TALK] 00:22, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, TLB. Didn't your two dads teach you anything? That's policy one, dude. --MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 00:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
