_ General Discussion _ A New Motto For Wikiland
Posted by: RDH(Ghost In The Machine)
Since the old motto has become a tired and embarrassing joke, there was http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&oldid=339939251#New_Mottothat 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, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Matt_Lewis, would be:
Written by the unwell, read by the unwise.
Any other suggestions?

Our Man in Rotterdam put it quite well:
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?

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 fucked goofed it up. 
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.

IN Chicago, to paraphrase an old saying, if you got a rabid dog threatening the neighborhood, you then shoot it and get rid of it.
Wikipedia is a threat to value of accurate knowledge, to peoples lives and reputations, and steals peoples ideas and distorts and cheapens them for the benefit of a few leet (global trotting techno gladflys -JIMMY-SUZZIE and a cadre of other wikileet on staff.)

I'm halfway through dealing with it. It was reported as it seemed to be rather spammish. I agreed and moved it out of the way. If other mods disagree then it can reappear.
Not a very warm welcome I appreciate, but often we assume that posters have already got a feel of the place before they dive in.
Anyhow, welcome. At least we haven't blocked your IP - yet
I had popped in to post:

(Eric is an ancient and established member where most people know exactly where he stands, who contributes many focused observations on the happenings of Wikipedia, who is an expert on valves, so there was a lot of context to his post that you wouldn't have picked up on - which is fine, because you are a noob).
As H said to you via e-mail, this is not a social networking site, and I think what this means is that we clearly do natter and chatter about all sorts of crap, but that works best if you first establish your character through your views on Wikipedia, which is the purpose of the site. So, yes it was a heavy handed response, and I am sorry about that, but we can all look on this as a wonderful learning experience, can't we?
For example, we have no idea if you are a person who thinks Wikipedia is a wonderful idea with no flaws, or you think it is a tragedy for mankind, or if you are a person who does not think at all.
What one lesson would you like mankind to learn about Wikipedia?

We shall move that and related posts (including this one, and the deleted one IMO) to the WRR forum as soon as Mr. Bee has amassed enough posts of his own to view and post to that forum...
Anyway, it's just that nobody ever did anything like that here before, and we're a little hypervigilant when it comes to new registrants, given the fact that the real spammers are far more numerous (and probably far more clever) than we are. I'm sure Mr. Bee understands - it's nothing personal!

Thanks for that, Mr. Somey, I think that made sense. So yes, I do understand. But I agree with (and apologize to) John A & RDH [IAWAATJAARDH] - I feel bad that the thread got derailed, and am happy for the crap to be clipped, whether or not I can see it. I'd be even happier if no one had seen it, but that ship has sailed.
Of course, it would be unproductive of me to point out that a quick message informing me of the deletion would have prevented me ever asking, and thus the whole subsequent public analysis of my various shortcomings...
But nobody likes paralipsis.

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.

Jimbo finding a flaw in WP:CONSENSUS reminds me of blubberfaced Greenspan admitting that he'd found a wee error in his view that the market always regulated itself.
You know, if WP:CONSENSUS always worked, it would have no trouble coming to a WP:CONSENSUS as to what the goals should be. Would it not?

Oh, very good. I like my present one (at some point I may even use the real untouched photo), but somebody will surely snap this one up.

Just FYI, Milton: your present avatar photo contains a small detail (actually two of them) that you probably don't know about:
it contains two Roland D-50s. A massively popular keyboard, despite endless complaints about its "bad sound". And still used by thousands of bad bar bands the world over, because nobody with taste or discernment wants old D-50s. Making them dirt cheap to buy on the used market.

Yes, I looked it up. Indeed the '57 Chevy of electric keyboards. Dunno if the guitar is a Fender. I think they should have given LHO a halfstand mic ala Freddie Mercury. It's not as though they tried to do everything in period, as the keyboard is post-1987.

This is great! 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.

That's pretty obscure, Jon. Sure Milton and Ottava will get it. And probably Somey, too.

Yes, a bit of a stretch, but I knew the wag who tagged Pompous Pilot would cache on tuit. I didn't check to see if she really was an abbess, but I figured a posthumous promotion would be politer than indistreetly screaming “Nude Nun !!! Nude Nun !!!â€
