Since the old motto has become a tired and embarrassing joke, there was a recent discussion the teh Jimmy's talkpage about adopting a new one that better reflects the true nature of WP. The discussion was closed before it even really got off the ground. Which is a pity because Wikiland really does need a new motto.
My suggestion, which I found on a colleague's userpage, would be: Written by the unwell, read by the unwise. Any other suggestions? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) |

Wikipedia: all the same letters and numbers, but without the cumbersome scholarship Wikipedia: Jimbo's big bag o' slander, typos, lies, and trivia! |

Our Man in Rotterdam put it quite well:
QUOTE(Guido den Broeder @ Thu 6th August 2009, 12:37pm) Yes, but that won't help Wikipedia, which features the difference of all human knowledge rather than the sum. I figure this means on its best days a WP article will only reflect the portion [of human knowledge] which nobody powerful enough has an interest in vetoing. I figure by the end of the song, Leeroy "Free Encyclopedia" Brown will look like a jigsaw puzzle with most of the pieces defaced, inverted, redacted, cut in half, or painted out by request of EMI. That's what the broken globe logo is all about, right? This post has been edited by CharlotteWebb: |

A compendium of knowledge, or at least something that looks like a compendium of knowledge.
Or maybe better: "An encyclopedia, or whatever." |

Wikipedia: Where something a big newspaper prints about your life is considered more reliable than what you yourself remember. Even if the newspaper got the "fact" from you in the first place, and
Wikipedia: Where scurrilously and anonymously attacking the academic credentials of an opponent's source is considered fair, but pointing out that your adolescent opponent himself has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, is considered bad faith. |

The discussion was closed before it even really got off the ground. Which is a pity because Wikiland really does need a new motto.

Wikipedia is good. However, some people say it bad. However, several widely accepted studies say it full or errors. However, other websites say it has not. However, not all of them are reliable. However, many are. TRAVIS MUROCK IS A FAG. Would you like to see a picture of my penis?

I'd be even happier if no one had seen it, but that ship has sailed.

What's neat is that there's already a companion article for it on-wiki that nicely expands the metaphor. Particularly the section titled "Real monkeys". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem QUOTE(RDH(Ghost In The Machine) @ Fri 12th March 2010, 12:47am) A fine motto indeed!

QUOTE Primate behaviorists Cheney and Seyfarth remark that real monkeys would indeed have to rely on chance to have any hope of producing Romeo and Juliet. Unlike apes and particularly chimpanzees, the evidence suggests that monkeys lack a theory of mind and are unable to differentiate between their own and others' knowledge, emotions, and beliefs. Even if a monkey could learn to write a play and describe the characters' behavior, it could not reveal the characters' minds and so build an ironic tragedy. Words fail me. |

QUOTE(EricBarbour @ Fri 12th March 2010, 6:13pm) QUOTE(The Joy @ Fri 12th March 2010, 12:32pm) Oh, poopy. I was gonna start a new thread about that article........ Go ahead. I find it ironic that the Wikipedia cult and the Scientology cult are not friends. Then again, Wikipedia was founded by technological libertarians opposed dogmatically to any limitations on information... be it good, true, false, or bad information. Scientology tries to suppress bad information (true or false) about itself, ergo Wikipedians have openly declared war against it. Even more ironically is that Wikipedians do the same thing to its critics just like Scientology! I see that Cirt (T-C-L-K-R-D) had a hand in the article. Yes, a separate thread on this could work. |

I had the same reaction - I remember the D-50 from backinnaday. If memory serves, this was at the intersection of analog and digital (at least at a realistic price point), so it seemed a big deal at the time. But they were mostly immune to programming, unlike my beloved Kawaii (so cute!) with its sliders and dials. Alas, they were as ephemeral as the big hair of them what liked them. |

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?

"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!

Do we really need to have pics of genitals randomly scattered through the forum?
I was explaining to a Wikipedia editor what cogent criticism she could find here, and she fired back an email that she saw a 'cartoon photo of an old man with a leather band around his balls' and that she was not going to register because of that. She has about 2,000 edits to Wikipedia and I'm trying to get her to realize she's wasting her time, but now I have egg on my face. ... At least I hope it's egg... |

OK ... I have thought of a work around and will tone it down or censor elements of it ... as I tend to be preaching to the choir here anyway.
I'll try posting clips and hosting full images elsewhere for anyone that is interested. If the moderators can oblige (I cannot re-edit the older post), you can tell your friend it is safe-ish to come back.

Had nothing to do with switching to the Euro, beyond the possible idea that being "Europeans" gave the Greeks silly ideas that they could live their favorite "European" life style. Consider the French, who by law have 5 weeks of vacation, 35 hour work weeks, and retire at 60. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ermm.gif) The Greeks figured: "Why not us?" Well, because they couldn't afford it, is why. The French can't either, actually, but it won't bite them in le cul until later. I'm preparing to be amused then. |

If so, as I say, it wasn't and couldn't have been because they suddenly thought of themselves as European. No, it was definitely the fault of the Euro. Firstly, it means the Greeks can no longer devalue their way out of problems, since the single currency obviously locks their exchange rate to the rest of Euroworld at 1:1. Secondly, it allowed the Greek economy to get hopelessly overstretched because investors thought that they were as safe as any other Euro country. |

QUOTE(Milton Roe @ Mon 9th August 2010, 10:00pm) Thanks very much Milton. I think that proves my point completely. I asked "Do you have any evidence that the amount of holidays increased, or the length of the working week reduced, or the retirement age fell, recently?" Your link says QUOTE As a consequence of decades of bargains struck between strong unions and weak governments, Greece has promised early retirement to about 700,000 employees, or 14 percent of its work force, giving it an average retirement age of 61, one of the lowest in Europe. So it is not a recent phenomenon due to any sudden realisation by the Greeks that they are European and can hence be more like the French. |

Ehh, quit spoiling a perfectly good ongoing thread, okay? I'm sure Mr. Awbrey simply used the word "drachma" because it's recognizable to most people as a form of currency (even if its use has now been discontinued). In other words, Wikipedia uses drama as a means of increasing participation, which in turn is referred to in fundraising letters as evidence of their "success" and "global reach," thereby bringing in currency.
