Forum:Illogicopedia on Wikipedia!

<<< Back to Logical Sector • <<< Back to Forum

Oh look! I've developed Illogicopedia into a valid Wikipedia article!

Take that, society and its boundaries! -- 18:19, 28 Aym 2008 (UTC)

Oh you, what with your disdain for society and all it's cleverly placed cliffside ropes :P I thought it was very well worded. Drinks are on MMF --Testostereich • (ballsack) 20:02, 28 Aym 2008 (UTC)

PS they're about to delete it --68.195.143.29 11:30, 29 Aym 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, fuckers. We're not "notable" enough, apparently --

I need help, people! Have we got any major, or any non-trivial mentions anywhere? -- 13:08, 29 Aym 2008 (UTC)

Sorry dudes, the system screwed us over again! For months I've been looking for an excuse for us to make an Illogicopedia WP article buuuuuuuuuuttttt I knew it would just get slaughtered just as it is doing. Er, best to forget completely my vote there...

MMF: Kudos for trying. I want the article moving here so we can continue to compile it and recreate when we get that double page spread in the Mirror. -- Judas!!! 15:54, 29 Aym 2008 (UTC)

I archived it, in case anyone may want the original text for whatever reason.

Too small! Bah

Metalflower: I have to say the Wikipedia article is a very good attempt. The sticking points seem to be that:

1. They think we're trying to promote Illogic
2. We're too small and insignificant. Boo.

So, to rectify this we would need some newspaper coverage. Proper newspaper coverage. The problem is that usually Uncyclopedia gets this coverage ahead of us - perhaps we need something fresh, a new angle on the wiki format that would make us noticeable but for now we're just another wiki. I mean, even Wikis three times the size of ours aren't notable enough for WP.

So, oooooon a lighter note we are actually one of the top 500 Mediawiki wikis in The World. Here's the proof. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 14:24, 31 Aym 2008 (UTC)

RFK: I have an idea. MY grandma works at the local newspaper where I live. MMF says we need newspaper stuff. I might. MIGHT be able to do something. Ps. if they delete the ?pedia article....I will vandilize them soooo baaadddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your grandma, RFK? Cool... slip her some Werther's Originals and we might get some coverage... :) MMF - here's a list of references. I'm not exactly sure how many you've used or if they're even relevant but here goes:

• Associated content: the best wikis on the web (paragraph on ?pedia)
• Yahoo India (trivial mention)
• Illogic one of the top 500 Mediawiki wikis
• Illogicopedia on Starkedsf - How to edit ?pedia
• Tip And Trick (trivial mention)

This may or may not help. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 17:13, 1 Yoon 2008 (UTC)

--User:binclin 09:23, 11 Yoon 2008 (UTC)

well, some brainless moron kept recreating it and now its locked --Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 23:05, 14 Yoon 2008 (UTC)

Brilliant. Now it's going to be twice as hard to get it taken seriously. And Binclin: there's a version here. Oh yeah, I fiddled with your sig there... hope you don't mind. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 11:24, 15 Yoon 2008 (UTC)
