[edit] Wikipedia:Wikipediaism

This humorous(?) page (created July 6 by User:Bassman600) is problematic, and could prove divisive because it will be easily misunderstood. "Wikipedianism" might mean different things to different people, but I'm sure this isn't what would jumps to mind for most people. Delete or move to author's user space. heqs ·:. 12:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

• Strong userfy The author can write, within reason, whatever he wants, but this is not an item of broad Wikipedia interest. As the nom noted, the content is easily misunderstood. Shalom ^Hello 13:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
• Aye aye, cap'n Move to the author's userspace, slap on an {{essay}} tag, and call it a day. Arknascar44 ^{¡Hablar Conmigo!} 00:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

• That's why you userfy it.--WaltCip 01:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• well hey, someone fill me in on how to "userfy" something. im still a newbie. remember??? dont bite the new guy.

• If the outcome of the discussion is to userify the page then it'll be done for you, but for the record you have to click on 'move' at the top of the page and move it to User:Bassman600/Wikipediaism. Hut 8.5 12:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete somebody might actually make the mistake of thinking this is a ligitimate page.--Sefringle^Talk 16:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
• Wow, so someone might think its real? HAHA! You guys worry to much about what people think. thats why i put a flippin tag on that says its a joke. user:bassman600

It's nothing personal. It's just that most humor pages here, even really weird ones, have some element of truth to them that are relevant to the project, whereas this is just crazy. Also, it's not really appropriate to associate Wikipedia with external political events in such a way, some conspiracy theorists out there will just tee off on this sort of thing. heqs ·:. 15:43, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Also being unable to WP:AGF and be WP:CIVIL might not exactly help your cause.--WaltCip 21:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, if not userfy. It's in project space, tagged as humour. I got a good laugh out of it when I read it, so I think it should be kept, if not userfied.

i understand that i didnt care for the AGF before. but i've had a change of heart and im pushing for the save and revival of this. bassman600

• Userify no point in this being in Wikipedia-space, but would do no harm in userspace. Hut 8.5 12:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
