From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Hey, first you come in here and make some fucking shitty articles which didn't make a single human being on this whole planet even shiver of humor, then you take the right to craptemplate several articles (which were perfectly fine!) and start whining about "racist bullshit".. go to that other wiki. ~ Banaan 10:46, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

--- I'm sure someone shivered, if even just a little... I crapped a lot of articles today, yes. I did that because they were crap. There were plenty of other articles that I didn't crap today. There are some very vague standards around here as to what is funny, and I'm working it out. One thing I do know is that; nerd jargon (the popular word of the day - repeated over and over again) and LJ in-jokes are NOT funny. They will NOT gain this site readership.

It's clear to me that my brand of political humor (or my political leanings) is NOT appreciated around here, and that's fine. I don't really care about that. I AM starting to care about how every single word that I wrote last night was deleted only hours after I put it up - then they called me a 'tard and a loser, like I actually did something to hurt the guy.

I can only nod my head and smile if an editor doesn't like the work I did, but there are too many other bullshit articles on here to warrant this kind of special attention. ---thefortunateson

• If you have an opinion, you're unfunny. ~ Banaan 11:09, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

- It IS pretty funny to be a total dick, so I'm not counting that against you. Just don't forget that everyone probably thinks your sense of humor sucks, as well.

• I don't care about black people. ~ Banaan 11:46, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
• If you are only working out what is funny around here, don't start throwing around the fucking crap template. What the fuck? Also, who the fuck are you to go around telling people what will and will not gain this site readership? Pull your fucking head in newbie, this is girlvinyl's site and if she wants nerd jargon and LJ in-jokes, that's what she is going to get. Fit in or fuck off, this isn't your living room. --WKD 21:42, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

This is the deal

We here at ED don't really care to argue with you. You cause trouble, whether it's justified or not, nobody cares! ~ Banaan 11:54, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

You are very unfunny and weird, but I think that if you had enough time you could shit a good article. I would suggest taking a break from here and learning the meaning of funny, practice on other wikis and then try again. Of course, I don't think you'll even get that chance. Aim for something else. --Bojeenka Hitlar 12:02, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I thought you were a maintainer. That's kind of the only reason I was even talking to you. Fuck off, dude. Who are you, anyway?

• I'm The Man, shitting on you. ~ Banaan 12:13, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Actually, you're more like an uncomfortable cushion under my ass. -thefortunateson

This is what I expect will happen - I'm probably not going to disappear. This encyclopedia thing is a good idea - even your bullshit can't change that. Before this site founders because of bullying and irrelevance, a lot of guys like you two are going to need to fade away. -[[thefortunateson Thefortunateson 14:18, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)]]

• You're a man of visions, visions in the ass that is... ~ Banaan 15:06, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Tips

Rather than creating a shitload of useless stubs that you claim to be "articles in progress", try creating just one decent, funny article at a time. You'll find that will earn a more positive response. Established contributors have been trying to help you, and you really should listen. Also, remember that this encyclopedia is intended to contain humorous articles specifically about Internet drama, communities and personalities. --Jacknstock 17:18, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hello, Thefortunateson

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.

These tips will hopefully prevent you from getting raeped by the ED admins.

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.
