This page is classified as a disambig and a stub. Am I wrong in thinking that the disambig tag should override the "stub"? Joyous 16:17, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

I agree, so I was bold and removed the stub tag. Spalding 18:29, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion tag

I don't see what purpose would be served by deleting this article. It can easily be expanded, and it has a set of relevant links in the meantime.

After reading the instructions on the tag, I decided to remove the tag for two reasons: The article is useful, and it has many, many links to it. Spalding 01:52, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Safety

Safety is the ability to enjoy life without fear of harm, danger, or threat.

[edit] YTMND

Props to whoever put in "If you push it to the limit, your safety is not guaranteed." Sure, it is part of an internet fad, but come on. It works. I put up a link to the YTMND that was made because it had that line on this entry. I'm not sure though if putting up the info about the line and its origin is significant to this entry because I feel someone may end up deleting it. But still, the line itself works. --MassProducedGod 22:42, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I think we could discuss it, so as not to get into a revert war, but i think the line is nonsense, it doesn't fit into the article Jesushaces 15:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism by YTMND users

For more details on this topic, see Safety Not Guaranteed.

This page is repeatedly getting vandalized. I'm loving it!

The safety of this page is not guaranteed. You must bring your own edits. Push it to the limit!

(previous 2 entries unsigned by 24.188.65.76 and 216.165.23.140)

Please add any pertinent information on Safety to the article List of YTMND fads. Otherwise, the safety of this article is now guaranteed indefinitely. --Tokachu 18:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Actually it's not guaranteed indefinitely since it's only temporary. MisterCheese 23:10, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
I sure hope this fad wears off fast. It doesn't look like it's limited to YTMND though, probably viral marketing. Once this article gets off sprotect, I'm almost sure that someone else will write about pushing limits. FYI, the sprotect itself is now the subject of vandalism.ytmnd.com. Weird. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 00:38, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit will not be guaranteed

Before a revert war starts on that I think that can stay in, it is not normally visible as it is in a comment. It is also quite correct and it will probably disuade the vandalism a little. Shogun 01:28, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I think the main problem isn't that the words "Your edit will not be guaranteed" is considered vandalism or not, since it's not displayed on the article itself. I think the only reason why it's there is to make the warning less boring. It isn't trying to fully repeat the meme.
The reason http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Safety&diff=prev&oldid=38724816 I reverted Jolb was because he deleted the whole warning, which will be needed now and whenever this goes off protection. However, I found out about the Snape (x kills y) warning, found it more fit and decided to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Safety&diff=prev&oldid=38746086 use something like that instead. But if you feel it shouldn't be on it regarless, please explain it, since we have the 3RR and all. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 08:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Protected at present but I did clarify the warning very slightly. Still hidden, though. The joke has worn a bit thin after numerous reverts on numerous safety-related articles. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] 12:24, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Seeing as how my comment will ultimately end up on a vandalismtothelimit.ytmnd.com/ YTMND of its own, I will say this: if YTMND users push their vandalism to the limit, I will push my indefinite blocking option to the limit. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is guarenteed. — Deckiller 22:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
The vandalism to it seems to have died down, as do the other fads. But there's really no reason the vandalism should continue. Everybody knows the eventual consiquences. --LBMixPro<Speak|on|it!> 23:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well, they're right.

Typically you don't want to push things to the limit. When you do, for things such as cars, computers (as in the CPU drive), and other medicine (as in an overdose), your safety cannot be guarenteed. It's true. However, I still think that since we now have a seperate article, we can keep it all in there.-Serapindal 3.13.06

-hmm...I am a ytmnd fan, but this vandalism isn't funny...however, you have a point, and I never thought of it that way.

[edit] Vandals have spelling trouble

I think this is funny (Vandals have spelling trouble). Anomo 01:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Page Protection

Let's face it, this page just needs to be protected. Its safety just can't be guaranteed. Keeping this page unprotected could be considered not unlike pushing it to the limit. In all seriousness, wikipedia doesn't exist for the sole purpose of being the internet vandals' bitch. I will pay you when we get back.129.11.81.217 20:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
