User talk:GTBacchus
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Hello, GTBacchus
THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.
Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:
- 1. New User
- Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.
- If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. Take your time and start slowly.
- 2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.
Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.
Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list.
If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.
- Dear Stupid:
- Please do not re-create pages after they have been deleted,
- even if they are on your watchlist.
- Thank you.
- Yours sincerely,

[edit] MONGO
Can you do something about his abuses? He deletes screenshots of this website, bans people FOREVER and doesn't tell them, he banned the person who warned him he was featured here, and MONGO's gone crazy. I think you should ban on on wikipedia and get ED's screenshot back up (with today's featured article, too). Samsara 07:13, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- I am just now becoming dimly aware of this furor. MONGO may be on the warpath, which is inappropriate, and he needs some kind of zen slap from someone, but he happens to be right about the ED article at WP - it's all unverifiable original research. I think ED is the cat's pyjamas, but the intellignetsia haven't found us yet. As soon as Salon or Slate or another magazine like them does an article, we're in. At Wikipedia, I play by the rules. I do try not to be a raging dick about it, though. -GTBacchus 22:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- ED needs to either get a news article about it or it will move to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Parodies/Encyclpedia Dramatica/ Also I said something GTBacchus should tell MONGO he's featured because that's the only way he won't ban the person who tells him. And he did ban the person who told him. Samsara 23:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Helping ED out on Wikipedia
When MONGO and others were abusing power you did nothing. Samsara 00:58, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Fuck you, I'm homeless right now, dickhead. When MONGO and others were "abusing power", I was trying to live. Don't fucking tell me what to do, kthx. Sometimes, I get online for a few hours and try to catch up. At that point, it's pretty hard for me to give two shits about the shenanigans that go on over an article that really needs to get deleted. Don't fucking tell me what to do. I don't think I'd be "helping ED out" by preserving that article. ED doesn't need a Wikipedia article about it that violates Wikipedia policy. Why don't you stop being such a tool? "You did nothing"... what a fag. -GTBacchus 03:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- LOL. --Sheneequa • Talk 04:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Seriously?
- Your wikipedia profile says you have a degree in mathematics, which I'm sure thanks to the people in washington, there's no job market for. The quickest job to get is telemarketer/salesman and they're decent for a few days if they aren't pure commission until they fire you for not selling enough. Long time, if you have no felonies, security guard is best -- very easy to get into with a clean record and they don't like to fire people. Samsara 06:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Also, if you can sell it for over $10,000 I'd recommend selling your wikipedia admin account. Samsara 06:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Seriously. I just moved to a new city, and I'm between homes, between jobs, etc. There's always a market for math teachers, but it takes a minute to get things set up, just showing up in a new place. Get a phone, fix the van, get an apartment, fix the dead computer, at least one more part-time teaching gig... these things take a minute. Meanwhile, I'm actually kind of enjoying the lack of tethers (probably why I moved with so little planning), but I am eager to get my online time back soon. Thanks for the tips anyway. -GTBacchus 08:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Where are you then? SchmuckyTheCat 14:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- In your town, Schmucky. Maybe I'll be surfing on your couch next! -GTBacchus 18:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- srz, lets dine and socialize. SchmuckyTheCat 07:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soo..... http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,1497856,00.html
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/magazine/story/0,,1497856,00.html eh?? Samsara 08:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- It's kind of crap, but slightly better than nothing. I mean, it certainly doesn't serve to verify a singe word of the article, so... what does it do? -GTBacchus 08:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it serves to keep the article. And the George Bush joke is one I really like. Samsara 09:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- No it doesn't, it's not that kind of game. You can't win on a technicality. I like the George Bush joke, too; I laughed out loud. Now, if you really really want ED to have a Wikipedia article, you should write more and lulzier articles here, and help make ED better and more famous, so people start talking about it in print, and describing it and raving about how cool and funny and smart and mean it is. Then someone can write a proper WP article that nobody will complain about, at least, not with any legitimate grounds. I've explained this point much more fully at TOW than I'm inclined to do here. Aren't there some furries you could be making fun of, or something? -GTBacchus 09:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

What about moving to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Parodies subpage? Samsara 09:15, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that seems pretty appropriate. -GTBacchus 09:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- So that's what wikipedia will do? Samsara 09:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe. Hopefully. I think it's what I'm going to start pushing for. I appreciate you showing me that link; I had no idea such a page existed. Wikipedia's unpredictable though, sometimes. Maybe we'll keep the article (like GNAA), maybe we'll delete it and salt the ground (like Brian Peppers), maybe it'll turn into a stub (like The Game (game)]). I think moving it to the Parodies page would be better than any of those three, since there isn't even a stub's worth of properly verifiable content in the article. -GTBacchus 09:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- So that's what wikipedia will do? Samsara 09:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Why one source may be enough
Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikitruth
Almost all its sources are its own website and it's been highly fought over. So, it can work. Eh?? Samsara 09:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Techweb news, The Guardian, Slashdot, The Register... writing entire articles that are actually about Wikitruth, with all kinds of salacious details about some anonymous admin they call "Skip" - woah. That's what ED hasn't got yet. Write more and better ED articles. Generate more lulz. Make us famous and proud, my young nigger. All of this squirming and wishing we were already there is pointless and unproductive. -GTBacchus 09:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Why don't you mention the article and see what happens? Samsara 09:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Which one? The Guardian? Yeah, nobody seems to have collected all the independent published mentions of ED into one reasonable place; that would be worth doing. Keep watching. -GTBacchus 10:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
