Ok, I know all you people are disgruntled and banned ex-Wikipedia lovers who are now living the politics of hate and reprisal .... good for you. I think wikipedia sucks, I dislike uncyclopedia's links to the wiki foundation and encyclopedia dramatica is not safe for school or work.

Join me at http://wiqipedia.org the home of Wikipedia haters. It's designed to break Wikipedia's back and make it humble and it does a much better job than Wikipediareview.com which is becoming totalitarian - I bet I will get hate reply's, accused of link spam and all the other accusations those hated Wikipedia SOBs would make. Infact the people on this baord moderate, censor and ban just like Wikipedia ! Maybe this is a fake forum run by Wikipedia !

Er no. Bad start.

I've got a WP record cleaner than Jimbo Wales. I just noticed that the place stinks. And understood that you can do more about here than on WP.

You're not going to get nearly the amount of "hate replies" as you think.

The day where Wikipedia Review goes completely totalitarian is the day I leave. That's way off. We're not a democracy but we're not totalitarian dictators either. "Do what we say"? Hardly.

As for linkspam (or not), I really don't care what links are posted here, so post away to your heart's content - especially if it mocks Wikipedia (why would we want to remove those kinds of links?). If you want to mock Wikipedia, go ahead and do it (I'll provide the neon sign). Why would we want to stop you?

Speaking for most of us, if anyone wanted to object to something - even a link - we would say so. Wikipedia is in the business of silencing people, not us. The worst we do around here is throw the opinion in the Tar Pits if it's especially objectionable (maybe warn people if things get really out of hand, and I mean really out of hand). In fact, I'd like to know exactly what led you to believe we do that kind of thing here.

So feel safe here. We won't chew you up and spit you out like WP.

I almost confused you with wipipedia. Are you the site that lets people post vandalized versions of wikipedia articles? I heard there was one but I can't tell what your site is.

Second random article I got

http://www.wiqipedia.org/w/index.php?title...hing&oldid=2695

It was just a period in it.


That is perfect!



Hmmm you need to update your software MediaWiki: 1.6.10 ? All the buttons I'm used to are missing.

You are right it was meant to be a site where people could post vandalized versions of wikipedia articles but it has been hijacked by teenagers who hate each other!

I don't like the idea, Wikipedia already spread inaccurate informations on the web, stuff like Dramatica or your project further makes it worst making of the web a collection of more junk. We need a better alternative than Wikipedia not worst.

Its always good to have more options for people. I think it might be more useful than ED, and may provide a niche for people who want to make light of things but without grossly offensive shock images, pornography and nasty loads of hate. More kind of "The Onion" style, right?

I may contribute later on. I am becoming a bit frustrated with ED, as it seems to turn everything in to hate.

Each to their own, and it is good to have something for everyone.

Enyclopedia Dramatica is one of the, if not the, worst wiki I have come across. Take the page about Phaedriel for example. It makes me sick just looking at it. If you want an attack site, go there, not here.

PS: this message does not count as an attack on ED. This is true!

I don't think you'll get much argument from anyone here. At last we agree on something.

I added my first 2 articles there:
http://www.wiqipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Review
and
http://www.wiqipedia.org/wiki/Truth

I think I like the format. I am considering modifying some ED articles so that they are funnier but not as nasty.

Actually, that WR article is pretty well-written and is pretty funny.
This is what funny should be, not that crap that ED thinks is funny.

I tried to have the exact opposite of the truth, and to state as fact many of the most ridiculous things that Wikipedia have said about WR.

I might re-write truth. Its a bit harder to write it.

I did the same thing for Encyclopedia Dramatica and Wikitruth:
