Talk:ED Improvement Drive

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

amen. --Drunkenlazybastard 21:39, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

This will be a great new Encyclopedia Dramatica. --TruePaige 22:34, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

But I liek reading about TV SHOWS, MOVIES, AND IRL PLACES. Do online interweb gam€s count? Son Kevin 22:38, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

Well, we don't want to nuke all of them. But articles such as California, The Iron Giant, and Everybody Loves Raymond aren't rly what we are about. As for interweb games, they are by defination internet related. Non-interweb video games might not be. --Blu Aardvark 23:34, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
- lol, stay on topic, we're talking about not nuking everything. Though I agree with everything except California. They have internet there, no? Son Kevin 23:39, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
  - Oh right, right, right. But we probably will be nuking quite a few articles during this process of de-shit-ification. --Blu Aardvark 23:42, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

I agree exponentially, there is far too much newfag shit around her lately. --Entropy 23:30, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

God damn there are only 5 days left in August. NINJA 23:47, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
- Well, we are actually going to carry it past that, but I wanted to distinguish this from any future projects we might attempt at a later date. --Blu Aardvark 23:48, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
  - Everyone has a slightly different idea of what should stay and what should go so it's gonna have to be consensus. I think California should stay or you have to collapse all the dominos behind it (states/cities etc). However, I'd probably try and head off Samoa (I went thru about 10 states before I found a red link..and -yes- I know Samoa's not a state) at the pass so the mission statement isn't totally out the window. I also tend to keep stuff that isn't strictly speaking ED material if it's well written AND lulzy or it's been around forever.

--OldDirtyMudkips 23:53, 25 August 2007 (CDT)

- - - Indeed. California was a bad example, naturally, but there are plenty of other locations that really don't have much in the way of internet relevance. --Blu Aardvark 00:21, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

I would love to help if I can. --Philaster 01:03, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Go right ahead. Here's an easy way to help. Visit Category:Crap, find an article, and make it not crap. Rinse and repeat as necessary.--Blu Aardvark 03:09, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
- The fact that there are over 500 sites in Category:Crap is quite daunting. Bdsuxxx 06:08, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
  - Well, there may be only about 5,000 actual articles on all of ED. Makes the overall scope of the task seem easier to me. --Aghar 10:15, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
    - I've done some of that over my time here and some of those articles are irredeemable. Also I've written a crap article but I sort of wrote myself into a corner and don't know how to make it better. I am however, compiling a list of DevianTArt articles that are fail and those that are redeemable but should be rewritten. That's where I'm starting.--Philaster 11:49, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
      - Here is the aforementioned list that is completed. I also consulted with MissEchelon because she knows more about DA than I do. It is quite a sizable list. For what it's worth, I believe that the Sysops should flush these pages of pure fail.--Philaster 17:34, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
So all the non-internets related stuff is going? That's shit. Hell, that's severe anti-lulz.-ByAppointmentTo 11:24, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
- I don't understand either why our first priority is to get rid of the non-internets stuff. We've already tried purging the encyclopedia of non-internet related material, and we reverted a lot of it back. I think we should focus on getting rid of the shitastic pages about every single furry ever.NINJA 11:43, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
  - Come on. Furries have EARNED their lulz enough to be featured here. We need to clean that shit up, but there are enough freaks among 'em that furries need to stick around as a category, just for the Babyfur shit alone. - Jigsaw 21:42, 7 November 2007 (CST)
  - Needed probably needs to be addressed first. Seriously, "Hyperreal"?

--Aghar 12:22, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, theres alot of stubs and non-internet crap like Everybody Loves Raymond like that, from sombody that hasnt been on Ed in awhile (He started the page on Pocky i mean wtf). Also, heres what ticking me off, newbs adding stuff that makes no fucking sense to Articles like this --Jericho 20:43, 26 August 2007 {EST}
- But Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pocky are to weeaboo like what wolves are to furries and Jenna Jameson to 13 year old boys. We can't possibly mock the waps if we don't mock their fap material NINJA 17:53, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
Pfft i know Yugioh is revelant(hell i wrote 75% of that page), but look at the changes that newbs who think there funny are doing to articles like these. --Jericho 15:43, 28 August 2007 {EST}

1 Lol hi
2 Only Firefox?
3 Fucking Crap
4 wow

[edit] Lol hi

Gee I sure wish someone had said back months ago that this was going to happen, this being ED going to shit. PLEASE PLEASE fix it with ruthless abandon for the feelings of little fanboys, I miss being able to laugh at ED. Also I am banned on TOW. Lol. Miltopia 20:37, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

LOL MILTOPIA IS BACK LOLOLOLOLOL --Blargh 20:48, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
- what the fuck is "feleings" supposed to mean?--Theburk 20:55, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
  - Ask Blargh, he changed it back... dipshit. Miltopia 21:06, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Awesome, just pls don't delete harmless lurkers like me. Because I like contributing from time to time. And I gave you monies. --Ernest the eunuch 18:41, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Only Firefox?

Konqueror, Safari, Flock, Seamonkey, and many other web browsers contain spellcheck. Just leave it at "anything but IE" or something like that. -JVz 21:30, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

I think Google toolbar for IE has spellcheck. Saying Firefox-only makes us look like Firefucks, when we aren't. NINJA 21:43, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
I'll grant you Safari, but the rest are teeny shit or Firefox in disguise. Flock & Seamonkey especially; Flock is just Firefox tweaked with web 2.0, and Seamonkey is owned by Mozilla anyway. - Jigsaw 21:46, 7 November 2007 (CST)

[edit] Fucking Crap

Making my way through the crap pages, picking out some stuff to rewrite and putting baleetplz on completely crap articles. The longer I do this, the more I want to say just fucking DELETE EVERYTHING. Almost 99% of furry/devianTART pages read like bad grudgewank and it's all the same thing. I propose we banish the two and start over. If a furry/TARTlette is interesting enough, you'll hear about them again. E-Liz 02:29, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

Even though all the "fandom furfag" pages read the same, some of them are genuinely funny. Especially if the furfag knows about ED and is butthurt. Maybe a bunch of them should be combined into one page, kinda like this DramaJason 04:49, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

For the most part I agree with you, those sorts of articles are basically the same format repeated ad nausium. Right now we are focusing on obviously shit articles and deleting them, as well as articles which have no internets relevance, we aren't fucking unfunnypedia here. There is going to be a lot of house cleaning going on here, and furry and/or devianTART articles are going to receive extra scrutiny. Keep up the good work. Here, have two internets:

<3 --Drunkenlazybastard 02:34, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

i pretty much avoid devianttart articles - dont know the site - means nothing to me- articles are mostly boring - the edit war and vandalism is lol tho'

About half of the articles we have on people could afford to get nuked. Which half is important though. - Jigsaw 21:49, 7 November 2007 (CST)
