Forum:Incoherent Babbling wiki
To fill community in, we have been looking at this site:
http://editthis.info/teh_ib_wiki/Main_Page
which appears to be almost exactly the topic as us so i have suggested that we offer them to join Illogicopedia as a either a merge (we basicly absorb them and they become part of the wiki) or we give them their own namespace (so they would become a miniwiki of us)
I have written a proposal here
http://illogicopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Illogicopedia:IB_offer_draft
Now i want your say before we make the offer, if you have any objections, improvements or statement that need to be made make them now.--Silent Penguin
Sounds like a good idea but i couldn't access their wiki and are there any vandal etc issues we should worry about, if not go on aheaad.--testostereich
Seems the filter replacing "t e h" (without spaces) with "the" breaks the link. Misspell it and it'll work.--Fluffalizer
At further examination, it seems to me that IB is in fact a wiki ABOUT that adult swim board, rather than a seperate entity. Asema 21:26, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- What adult swim board?--Zerotrousers 06:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Even if that's the case, it would be worth pursuing at least some connection with them, especially if it's based on an "off-topic" forum. —Faust (damn) (summoned devils) 12:57, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well I'm not sure if they are about the board on adult swim or if they are an extension of it.--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 16:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Seeing as they devote a fair bit of the wiki to the board and its members, mayhaps we can also suggest a halfway solution apart from a full merging, the merging/moving of their incoherent babble into our wiki while keeping their old one as place for information about the board and its members? --The Divine Fluffalizer 17:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Should we revise the draft a bit then?--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 17:30, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

- After talking with Hindleyite, we believe that this draft needs to be ajusted, as we are unsure of the standpoint of Teh IB wiki--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 13:20, 22 Arply 2007 (UTC)

Whats the latest on the teh ib wiki, have we formed any sort of contact with them yet,...--Testostereich 17:54, 1 Aym 2007 (UTC)
Well, "Teh IB wiki" is still going, so do we need to consider them again? they are really running out of Disk space now, i think we need to get together on IRC/IM some time and talk about what we should do about this wiki. This would really boast our content count, but its whether we want to confront an admin or something, what do people think? Im still unsure, as alot of it seems to be about the users themselves and not on anything in particular.--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 14:29, 17 Yoon 2007 (UTC)
I'm for the idea but i don't know if a complete merge would be ideal. What about contacting their admins through their talk pages. Do we know if they're rules or "comandments" contrast seriously to ours?
On second thoughts I don't know if we should join with them. Though both the wiki's intentions are very similar the small differences are apparent. In illogicopedia the nonense is carefully structured (most of the time) into a structured and usually with intention to be entertaining and a sometimes funny form of article, where facts are used and distorted for unknown purposes.
In teh ib wiki the nonsense is completely untamed and random with no purpose as such. My presumptions may be wrong but I still feel there is a distinct difference between the two wikis. In my opinion illogicopedia is more entertaining as a wiki and therefore i believe we shouldn't host a complete merge between the two wikis, and if a move does occur i think it should be that teh ib becomes a mini wiki within us. Maybe there should be a vote on this subject?
I think we probably wouldn't want to just dump all the content they have over here, but I don't know where people are getting the idea that nonsense has to have a purpose - that seems self-contradictory to me. --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 17:00, 26 Ditzimber 2007 (UTC)
i think we gave up on this, cus the IB wiki is attached to a board on adult swim an appears to simply be a vanity about the board, hence why they have a large userbase and a small number of articles--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 22:30, 26 Ditzimber 2007 (UTC)
