Vandalize Every Equation

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Vandalize Every Equation is an organized Wikipedia vandalization effort and a forced meme started by jbs in the summer of 2007.

The average mongrel dumbass opines, to questions of Wiki-legitimacy, that while TOW is not a reliable source for humanities topics, it is a reliable source for factoids related to exact and natural sciences. Vandalize Every Equation hopes to systematically erode this remaining source of credibility by adding intentional errors into LaTeX equations.

[edit] Theory

This is what will happen to mathematicians who see this if you do this.

Asspie Wikipedians only know about useless shit no one cares about and obtained by

watching television,
watching movies,
reading fan fiction,
gaming, and
using open-source software.

Consequently, they never know anything useful, educational or credentialed. Therefore, edits relating to Runge-Kutta won't be reverted for years, while edits to the Harry Potter page will be reverted in milliseconds, not because the edits were necessarily vandalism, but rather because the someone used an American spelling while the rest was in British form.

Any physics problem that doesn't involve Jewish relativity
Any formal languages or algorithms problem that doesn't involve the existance of quantum computers
Linguistics topics that don't directly relate to Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, Klingon, Modern Hebrew or some other asspie artificial language understood by nobody.

[edit] How To

Go into the source, and it will look something like this:

[; \mathbb{I}=\mathbb{T}\cup\left(\underset{n\in\mathbb{N}}{\bigcup}\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_{n}\right) ;]

Now, make the following replacements:

Replace every instance of	With
\frac	either \atop or \choose
\in	\subset
\subset	\in
\mathbb	\mathcal
\mathcal	\mathfrak
\mathfrak	\mathbb

Wherever you see \xxxxx, where xxxxx is some greek letter spelled out, capitalize the first letter \Xxxxx.

Wherever you see \Xxxxx, where Xxxxx is some greek letter spelled out with the first letter capitalized, change it to \xxxxx.

Change every	To
\exists	\nexists.
= sign	\neq
\cup	\cap and vice-versa
\bigcup	\bigcap and vice-versa

????

Profit!

For more advanced vandalism techniques, you can study Advanced Cockulus or actually learn math jokes. For example: <math>e^\pi-\pi=20</math> is a good test for floating point errors. As no one on wikipedia can get the jokes on XKCD, they won't know this is a setup because they don't read it.

[edit] Project goals

The stated goal of Vandalize Every Equation is to discredit the Wikipedia Jews and restore mathematics and the sciences to its rightful owner, Springer-Verlag. <math>e^\pi-\pi=20</math>
