From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Hello, Smokecrackintomordor
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. To start you off:
- Sign your comments using four tildes (like this ~~~~)
- To answer a message, reply on the user's talk page.
- These are the sysops. If you have a problem, talk to them.
- 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 and ED IRC. If you need an admin, the list of active ED Sysops will let you know who's around. To chat with or to ask for help from other ED users, then please hit up the experts in #wiki on our IRC.
If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter. If that's not enough ED for you, feel free to join the all new ED Forums.

- Did you read ED:BASIC? You should, because it's really, really discouraged to be making this many new articles before you're here for a while. Miltopia 08:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Look, don't take it personally, it's just a good idea to get the feel for the site before making new articles, I was here about 2 months before mine. It's not because we don't like n00bz, it's just that it's good to learn the basics first (like signing your name, which you can do with ~~~~. Miltopia 09:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Thnx dude!!!! --Divx-Mongool 21:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

How about you don't replace articles with shit. White•Mystery
| —Jesus' Baby Daddy |
He didn't need to read it. It sucks. Kthxbye. - Jasper Jasper @ MeowMail.com 20:27, 5 March 2008 (CST)
- I have a good idea. Let's argue with an admin about a shitty edit and then revert him. White•Mystery
- Although I will give you the fact that the article also sucked before. - Jasper Jasper @ MeowMail.com 20:30, 5 March 2008 (CST)
- The gods of IRC have smiled upon you. If you MERGE the article versions instead of just deleting the old shit, you can make some changes. However, the new content definitely needs some serious improvements. White•Mystery
- Look, I've been sitting here watching Recent Changes and reverting vandalism all day. When I see an edit pop up that removes almost 4,000 characters from the article, and I read over the edit summary and don't see any changes I like (because, by the way, I like 50% of the old article) I'm going to revert it. While I probably should have told you to merge it, you need to consider the fact that every day I sit here reverting dozens and dozens of hits of vandalism and I'm a little bit jaded. White•Mystery
- Packing memes and christmas into The Aristocrats produces something that looks like this. Which, oddly enough, I do find funny, so maybe it was the way you told it. - Jasper Jasper @ MeowMail.com 20:52, 5 March 2008 (CST)
Smokecrackintomordor Block
I've unblocked you as the block log said you'd only been banned for a day. I'll be keeping an eye on you though. ~ CATS 08:16, 6 March 2008 (CST)
- The block page clearly says who banned you and for what reason. I know this because I tested it by banning myself. You know for a fact that it wasn't me who banned you. Anyway, since you're new here, I'd like to give you some friendly advice. I came right out to you and said that I should have asked you to merge the articles, but it had been a long day. If you didn't pick up on it, that was an apology for being a little hard on you. You aren't going to make any friends here if you purposely try to deceive other sysops, and what you posted on weev's talk page was very misleading with regards to my actions. You've got an apology, an unblocked account and, as far as I'm concerned, a clean slate so you need to make the best of it. White•Mystery
- It's absolutely always a good idea to do major edits in steps. Not only does it reduce the chance of looking like vandalism, but you can put in detailed edit summaries that make it clear you're trying to clean something up. Most importantly, however, ED is a big target for denial of service attacks and it's not uncommon for you to submit a major change as the server is getting pounded and lose everything you just did.
- I don't honestly expect you'll see it again, but when you go to edit a page and you are presented with the block message it comes up with a bunch of text at the top of the page and an uneditable text box at the bottom of the page. The text up top has steps for appealing a ban, who blocked you, why they blocked you, and the block duration.
- As for messaging you and asking you to tone down the edits, that was the plan, but the procedure around here is that you revert the edit and then leave a message on the person's talk page. Since all previous edits are saved, nothing is really lost, and it puts the article back into an untouched condition. I typically leave a more detailed message than "replacing shit with shit" but I was currently in the middle of trying to help someone with something on IRC after watching Recent Changes for the past 10 hours and I typed that without thinking.
- Just to warn you, you did catch me on a bad night, but I'm generally considered to be the nice sysop around here. I didn't ban you because I don't ban people for disagreeing with me. However, reverting an admin is rude here, and usually leads to a ban if it keeps up, it's how things are here. Mouthing off to some of the sysops will get you a swift ban, too. I'm not trying to intimidate you, but ED isn't a touchy feely place.
Tapestry Image Captures
Are you using IE or Firefox? There are plugins available for Firefox to do captures like that. In general, you might want to look at something like ScreenPrint32. I haven't used it for a while, but I used it several years ago when I was writing documentation and it's great for stuff like this. (As always, make sure you virus scan the download since it's not by a large publisher.) White•Mystery
