Actually, I bet the better question is how long until someone has the stones to link it back to http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com, like every other article on every other website on Wikipedia.

I hope none of the Good People left on Wikipedia do anything retarded over the article to get deadminned. Full log, for the curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...pedia+Dramatica |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_Dramatica How long until it gets the AFD treatment yet again? The big problem with ED is that it's "an 'encyclopedia' anyone can edit." |

Yes, we know that Web 2.0 technologies that let anyone write anything online are evil. Lets not divert this--this thread is best suited to chronicle what will be a huge war over this article.

Yes, we know that Web 2.0 technologies that let anyone write anything online are evil. Thinking on it a bit more, I agree with you. Other people's reputations aren't all that important. What's important is that people can write whatever they want without consequence, even if it's libelous. |

Can we fork this off so Pro and whoever is interested can debate the evils of the intarweb? |

This isn't the thread for this. Can we fork this off so Pro and whoever is interested can debate the evils of the intarweb? Why not simply proceed with the discussion about the deletion debate? I'm not stopping anyone else from posting here about it, nor do I intend to flood the thread. This post has been edited by Proabivouac: Wed 14th May 2008, 8:16am |

Does anyone have a copy of the one just deleted? It's pretty much the same as the content shown at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Running/...from_March_2008 plus a few minor additions. |

FT2 has restored the article, is this GFDL compliant?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&action=history I know for a fact that many, many revisions are missing from there. |

Thats the new version only - the old history has been put somewhere else I am assuming.
Edit: wrong that hiostory goes back a long way. I am assuming there has been a massive amount of oversighting then. This post has been edited by Viridae: Wed 14th May 2008, 8:34am |
