The Worst Inventions of Mankind[edit | edit source]

Yeah, so I worked with RFK on this parody of The Greatest Inventions of Mankind, just want to get some opinions. Do you like the inventions? Do you not? Have you any good ideas of what could be on the list? —rms talk 23:47, 25 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Concept: 7.5 A good concept, The Greatest Inventions of Mankind was a great concept, and this is one too, though slightly less original.
Execution: 6 6 sounds harsh, but in the way Greatest Inventions worked, this didn't exactly. The problem was the approach. Greatest Inventions simply pointed out of the box ways something was good, i.e. it wasn't what you'd expect. However with the Worst things it was more like "yeah that does suck, so?" though admittedly man points do go to Sholeaces without plastic tips. In essence, the list is the problem, the items are too obvious. You're going to have to think outside the box and make the reader read something new. Sorry if this sounds like I'm being a negative dick. The other thing was the slightly more personal jokey approach to it, weirdly in this situation it didn't work too well, I personally think the article requires a slightly more formal approach, as with Greatest. I don't have any suggestions for the list thoguh .....sorry.
Grammar and Formatting: 9 Formatting is fine
Images: 6 The images are only as good as the article in this case, (because of the quotes as captions)
Miscellany: 6 This can easily be fixed, and a good idea is there.
Final Score: 34.5 Hope you get it great.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Probably the best thing to do is clcik Random Page on Wikipedia. :P —rms talk 16:37, 27 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)

Then hit 'edit' and VANDALIZE!!!!!!!, yeah, what you said Testostereich(ballsack) 16:47, 27 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)
I'll probably hit up some philosophy pages like half the time. Damn wikipedia and it's factual.... stuff. —rms talk 16:52, 27 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)
YAY! Now I can add some more man points to my collection, -throw the poker chip like points into a massive pile, hidden under his bed-. *cough*I rock. -- Ragglefraggleking Is Eating Your Bagels 13:31, 28 Jumbly 2009 (UTC)
