[edit] Wikipedia:Write like this we should

I saw this page created in April, and added it to my watchlist, to keep an eye on it. I had forgotten about it until today, when cleaning up my watchlist. Nothing has been done with it, no-one else seems to have picked up on it, and I feel it is a worthy candidate to delete. --Daniel Lawrence 15:26, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Incomplete VfD nom left over from April. Looks like late April Fool's joke attempt. Completing VfD process; my vote is Delete. Niteowlneils 16:50, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Apologies for not fully completing the VfD process. Thanks for finishing it off for me. I'd also like to note that this page has been heavily edited since putting it on VfD only a couple of hours ago. --Daniel Lawrence 17:47, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete--not just Yoda English, but incorrect Yoda English. Meelar (talk) 16:51, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Where's the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Yoda English)?—Wahoofive (talk) 18:03, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, you don't need one. Yoda English simply mimics German sentences structure, with predicate at the end of the sentence. It is a known source of jokes among syncronous translators: a German sentence may end with "nicht" ("not"), thus inverting the whole sense, to at unpleasant surprise of a parallel interpreter, especially when the sentence was long and translated piecewise: "We agree with all your conditions, stated henceforth and herewidth, blablabla,... not!" mikka (t) 00:08, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Potentially funny idea (BJAODN attempt, maybe?) that doesn't go anywhere and doesn't quite sound enough like real Yoda talk to even be amusing. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:02, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Stuff like this is why BJAODN shouldn't exist. It only encourages the creation of useless pages with the sole intent of trying to be funny. Random vandalizers are already running around being disruptive. We don't need users to be doing the same thing. -ÅfÇ++ 20:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete to BJAODN we should. Laughed much I did, although Star Wars fan I am not. --Idont Havaname 21:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• BJAODN. Hey, at least it wasn't in the article namespace. -- BD2412 ^talk 21:45, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
• Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. I thought it was funny. :) Sincerely,  Short Verses  ^(talk) 22:37, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Oh dear... I fear this was indirectly my fault. Someone made a vaguely inane suggestion at the village pump - something like that that all articles should appear in US English, UK English and simplified English (thereby tripling the number of articles). I suggested yoda-speak as another viable alternative and pointed the reader to this (then non-existent) proposal. Seems like someone thought it was too good an idea to resist... BJAODN Grutness...wha? 00:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• BJAODN/delete This is one of the better jokes I've seen lately. Ashibaka (tock) 01:09, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to meta, where we keep humour. James F. (talk) 02:46, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• BJAODN "delete this.. we must". JamesBurns 06:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Send it to BJAODN we should. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
