QUOTE(Kelly Martin @ Thu 4th November 2010, 1:18pm)  Wikipedia measures success based on three metrics: number of page views, number of active editors, and number of dollars collected. All else is irrelevant, except to the extent that it benefits one of those three metrics, and the last most of all. Dare I say it.......Wikipedia sounds like just another commercial social-media invention. "I don't care about content!! Screw the content!! Get me MOAR METRICS!!" |

They did, I think they call it Wikiquette Alerts - at any rate one hears the snorting of pigs, and the braying of asses whenever one loads the feature. |

I am waiting for a song parody of this new fiasco, with Randy channeling Evita for a rousing wail of "Don't Cry for Me, Wikipedia."

It won't be easy You'll think it strange When I try to explain what I wrote Does it still need attribution After all that I've done? Won't you believe me? All you will see Is a song you once knew Although now it's dressed up to the nines Tim Rice will not have a clue. I had to let it happen It had to change Couldn't put it quotes with a source So I took it out of the window I cut and paste in the browser So I chose plagiarism Working around writing not a thing new And this quite impressed them all I always expected it too Don't cry for me Wikipedia The truth is I wrote this for you These are my own words My contribution I give my promise Don't keep your barnstar! And as for plaudits and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to Durova They were all I desired They are illusions Not the RfA solutions They promise to be The bastards opposed me last time So I vote you and hope you'll vote me Don't cry for me Wikipedia The truth is I wrote this for you These are my own words My contribution I give my promise Swear by the GFDL! Have I said to much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you But all you have to do Is look at me to know That every word is true © Scott McD - an awesome wikipedian - (all work is my own) This post has been edited by Doc glasgow: Sun 7th November 2010, 2:59pm |
