Hi, welcome to the Funny vandalism page! It's still under construction but there are already some good preserved copies of funny vandalized pages on it. But still mixed up with the postings I posted on the Wikipedia:Village pump which had as title I'd love to vandalize a page to make it funny. And the replies of other people to it are still all here. Feel free to reply as well, and to add more funny vandalized pages. Paul/laudaka (add me to your Y!M/AIM/etc. list if you like!) | Talk 15:16, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

(My English might be weird because I'm from Europe.) Is there anybody else who'd love to make a vandalized page that has a lot of the original content of the article but with all kind of things added or changed so that it is very funny? I'd love to vandalize a page in such a way, because I'm a big stupid moron with an ugly face, but I think Wikipedia is really great and I really would like it to become a real encyclopedia. Many articles are awesome and could go right into a real encyclopedia. Because I don't want to "hurt" Wikipedia I will never do such funny vandalism.

The page that really would be my favourite to make funny is: Slashdot trolling phenomena in the page you would do everything that is described there. Like widening the page itself to demonstrate how trolls do that and at the same time making fun of it.

Couldn't we have a contest at April's Fools day who can make the funniest vandalism? Oh no, nobody is ever to take Wikipedia serious any more if we do that! :-P (If I'm correct English people make all kind of jokes on April's Fools day, don't they?)

Am I the only one longing to make such funny vandalized pages, although I would never do it? Laudaka 22:52, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC) (Paul/laudaka)

P.S. When I edit Wikipedia I normally do it very seriously, LOL. I like most correcting all spelling errors and I will also try to rewrite articles to make them more interesting to read, for example by comparing the weight of a space probe with something familiar like a car, so the dull statistics like weight, time of launch, etc. become more lively. Laudaka 23:01, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC) (Paul/laudaka)

There have been a handful of occasions on which I found myself unable to resist the temptation to put a joke in one of my contributions. In every single one of those cases, it took less than 24 hours for someone to notice and remove my joke—a fact I found very reassuring. Mkweise 23:01, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Done it once, stayed there for almost three days before someone removed it. Jor 23:03, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I'm glad I'm not the only one with these impulses. I very much wanted to change this article so it just read: WWJD? RTFM. fabiform | talk 23:16, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

When you have an impulse like that, it's clearly time to phone your Wikiholics Anonymous (WA) sponsor, even if it is a very late hour. (Maybe we need a WA chatroom?) -- Jmabel 23:40, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Uncle Ed posted this obituary of the pillsbury doughboy to the main page's recent deaths listing. It was hilarious. →Raul654 00:01, Feb 11, 2004 (UTC)Added even more later: unfortunately hard to read for people from non-English speaking countriesPaul/laudaka (add me to your Y!M/AIM/etc. list if you like!) | Talk 15:16, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

You bastard, this means we've all got to go over your edits with a fine-tooth comb looking for a scintilla of a flake of a whisker of a smidgen of humour in any edit you've ever made, and if any is found, pound it, smash it and grind it into dust. Humour vill not be tolerated! And I'm only half joking... one use of a little witticism in half of one sentence once led to LOTS OF CAPTIAL LETTERS in summary comments, a huge debate on the talk page, a listing here on the pump, a vote, a ballot stuffing and finally the removal of the humour from the page (though in fact the un-stuffed ballot was to do the opposite) (see Talk:London Congestion Charge) Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 13:17, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I put a subtle joke into an article months ago, hasn't yet been found, bwahaha. Personal subpages should be acceptable for parodies in any case, and one could give permission for others to "improve" them, in true wiki fashion. Stan 14:55, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

- - Added later: Excellent idea Stan! And how naughty of you to put a subtle joke in!! We're making an encyclopedia not a comic book :-P Laudaka 07:10, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC) (Paul/laudaka)

Before I became a registered user/contributor, I made several ridiculous comments. One I particularly enjoyed was at the page about Hamilton Fish III. If you go to the page history and pull out the original version you can see it. Katagelophobia

Added even more later: For everyone who wants to see it, here it is. It's hilarious, but unfortunately rather hard to understand for people from non-English speaking countries. She made 10 more edits so you're probably in for a good laugh if you sift them through. (It will be appreciated if you move some of them to here if you think it's gonna make us laugh as well.) The correctional edit had as Summary "partial silliectomy". Does anybody knows what this is? Haven't a heck of idea. English is not my native language. But here it is, the article created by User:Katagelophobia before she registered. Paul/laudaka (add me to your Y!M/AIM/etc. list if you like!) | Talk 15:16, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Added much much much much later: -ectomy is a suffix that has to do with the surgical removal of something from the body, such as an appendectomy. The word was gotten from "silly." - Arthur George Carrick 21:00, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

At the end of his life, when he attended his friend [[Alfred Landon]] at his 100th birthday, confessed to touring the country as an oddity with then former President Richard Nixon. Why were they an oddity? They were stuck in a most unusual position that resulted from a wild game of Twister in 1965. This was kept a big secret during the Nixon administration, notably when Nixon advisor John Ehrlichman would take the time to airbrush out Fish from all White House correspondance from then on. When Fish died, Nixon was stuck with him wrapped around his person until they were buried together in April of 1994.	+	'''Hamilton Fish III''' (December 7, 1888 - January 18, 1991) served in the U.S. House of Representatives from New York from 1920-1945.

Thank you, Laudaka for giving my long forgotten uselessness some completely undeserved treatment. Suddenly I feel encouraged to insert more goofiness into some more pages, which could become a problem as these "bad jokes" pages increase in popularity. Regardless, reading all of these is a enjoyable diversion from the daily grind of occasionally adding information to some articles. Oh, also, I'm a man. Katagelophobia

[edit] Current Record for Longest Unspotted Vandalism

Does anyone know whats the longest period of time a vandalism has remained on Wikipedia ? I recently reverted vandalism made in August 2003 !! or something like that. Need to recheck which article that was. Jay 11:32, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Added even more later:

The current unconfirmed record is:about SEVEN MONTHS User:Jay, please have a look at that article, so we can make this the first official record for longest unspotted vandalism!

BTW are you French speaking Jay????// You type spaces before ? and ! just like is the rule of style in French. Paul/laudaka (add me to your Y!M/AIM/etc. list if you like!) | Talk 15:16, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Added later: Phew so I'm not the only one with this urge to make funny articles. *big smile* I feel relieved. Maybe I'll make a parody on an article on a subpage of my User page in a few weeks. For the moment I'm bussy with spelling corrections. Laudaka 07:10, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC) (Paul/laudaka)

Someone (not me--really) edited the Columbia University page as follows:

Brian Greene - Mathematics and Physics professor, foremost researcher in String Theory
[...]
[[Josiah Kwokstradamus]] - Noted molecular philosopher and theorist, freelance perfume manufacturer. He expanded on Brian Greene's work to develop rope theory.

(added by Wikisux)

Hahahahaha Wikisux, you forgot to sign so I added your name between parentheses. That's really very funny rope theory. Hahahahahahahaha. ROFL. On the Village pump there was either a very naive person or a troll who wrote something not funny but which evoked many many funny comments. I've added it here.

[edit] From the Village pump: We MUST Americani[s/z]e Wikipedia.

Why are there so many British English spellings on Wikipaedia? I'd hazard a guess at the fact that us Yanks are thick as pigshit and forget that there wouldnt BE a WWW if it wasnt for Tim Berners-Lee. We have serious issues of perception. We shoot our own soldiers. We shoot media people from other allied countries. We pick more wars than we pick our own noses. We all eat McDonalds and we're all fat as fuck. Maybe us Yankees should remember that the word 'English' comes from the word 'England', meaning that therefore the English spoken by those from England is correct. Oh - and us Americans also have sex with animals on a regular basis whilst taking it up the farter by sex-swaps.

Wikipedia will be taken over by Australians. We are writing a script now to replace all instances of "hi" with "g'day", and to convert all IPA pronunciation guides to appropriately diphthongised versions. Jeronim and I are handling the technical aspects, and the Australian-controlled Fox Broadcasting Company will do the PR side. We have an informal alliance with the Board of Trustees and developer corps, both of which are dominated by Europeans. -- Tim Starling 03:11, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)

Don't forget - vegemite will now be a regular part of every Wikipedian's diet. →Raul654 03:14, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)

In keeping with the tradition of British colonialism, we will allow you to retain your dietary habits as long as you speak our language. -- Tim Starling 03:33, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)

and if your food is very good (sorry that's not you Australia) you are welcome to send delegations to set up restaurants in Aus :-) Erich 03:54, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC) [Actually, America has excellent food (and contrary to popular belief, we have far more than just fast food restaurants).]]

You are all doomed. My new language bot BeowulfBot V1.0 will soon be along to revert all unorthodox spellings of this new-fangled English to correct cwene 's Anglo-Saxon in any case. Sjc 06:21, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

"Cwene" means "prostitute" and "concubine" rather than "queen", and is the reason that there is the term "queen" referring to a homosexual, which doesn't have anything to do with royal connections. ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 23:13, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Why are there so many ~~British English spellings~~ idiotic trolls on Wikipedia? This is unacceptable. Is Wikipedia based in ~~England~~ an elementary school or something? The default language of the Internet troll is ~~American~~ poorly written English, as ~~Wikipedia's should also~~ it always has been and probably always will be. -- Jmabel 06:26, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism On Hippie

the kit kat candy bar has the words "kit kat" imprinted into the chocolate. THAT ROBS YOU OF CHOCOLATE! that is a clever chocolate saving technique. Ill go to the factory like "you owe me some letters." - - I went to a vending machine to get a candy bar, the button that i had to push was "h" "h", so i went to the side, found the "h" button, and pushed it twice. fuckin potato chips came out man, cause they got a "hh" button, you need to let me know! I'm not familiar with the concept of "h h". I did not learn my "aa bb cc"'s god god dammit dammit [1]

[edit] Willy on Wheels praise

On June 8, 2006 a vandal added this to WoW's article, "This makes him "The Michael Jordan of vandals"; a true virtuoso of the craft, the gold standard to which all future vandals will be compared. Since he retired in October of 2005, Wikipedia lost a bit of its character; though like the beloved Elvis Presley, imitators will ensure that he will truly never be forgotten. Here's a toast to Willy: May your wheels always stay mobile."

It's comments like that that are the exact reason why all the LTA "wanted posters" were perma-deleted. Because it became a "Hall of Fame" glorifying vandalism. --Kitch ^{(Talk | Contrib)} 13:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My User Subpage

Just some funny vandalism I did to express my hate for Kidz Bop (it's still under construction). -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 00:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is this?

Why, this is utterly worthless vandalism of an article about funny vandalism - but THIS vandalism cannot count as funny vandalism, as it is completely devoid of any value, wit, physical existence and rabies. Pie, scissors, exploding whales, snicker-snack.
