[edit] Moving the article
I like it, insightful enough for me to not VfD it even though it doesn't really belong. --Alex Krupp 23:38, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)
- You're right, it doesn't belong in the "Wikipedia:" namespace. I've moved it to meta. Lowellian 20:06, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- By the way, I did not just move the article here; I was the original author of this article. :) —Lowellian (talk) 05:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, but by moving it to meta, you did not change any of the article itself. Thus it makes no mention of the other sister projects. (no meta account--Wikipedia user HereToHelp) 18:56, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Title?
Shouldn't the title be "Wikipedia is a MMORPG" instead of "an MMORPG?" Massive doesn't actually begin with a vowel or a vowel sound. cookie 19:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- "Massive" may not begin with a vowel sound, but "MMORPG" does: "M" is "em". —Lowellian (talk) 05:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This is absolutely stupid
Wikipedia is no more a MMORPG than Congress is. Articles are magic items? Whoever wrote this has absolutely no idea what even constitutes a "game".
Wikipedia is an online library that essentially allows anyone to add a book to it about just about anything. That isn't a game. And neither is 'edit wars' a game. Thats just griefing, and its been around much longer than the internet has. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.102.7.2 (talk • contribs) 05:08, June 23, 2006 (UTC)
- What does this article/opinion has to do with Meta anyway? NielsF 01:54, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Can't people ever see these types of articles are JOKES? Sheesh.72.130.133.0 01:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps we should make a big banner at the top of the page with flashing text reading "THIS IS HUMOROUS. LAUGH!" People don't really know if this is serious, because they don't see the Category:Humor at the bottom. Nishkid64 01:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Stop making Wikipedia jokes, they aren't funny.... TheFireFox 17:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] It's good
This page is extremely well written and innovative, but misses a point or two. It doesn't mention that "players" belong in "classes" (sysops, bureaucrats, etc.) and "races" (POV hunters, WikiGnomes, Wikifairies etc.). --Orthologist 20:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- I like this page too. I think it's quite an apt observation.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What about...
The um... Cabal? Wait... There isn't one... <Shifty eyes> Yes... Let's go with that... Alx xlA 02:59, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikiholism?
Hey i loved this article. I just wanted an explanation of how this fits in the Wikipediholism spectrum. J-stan 17:11, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia is like an MMORPG, but Wikipedia is not an MMORPG
People who treat this place like a game are probably violating WP policy.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 13:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Fighting vandalism may be like trying to slay a dragon with an infinite capacity to grow new heads and breathe fire, but it's important that editors (and especially admins) derstand that WP is not a game and do not treat it as such.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 14:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Too many brackets
I think the humor of this essay is being distracted with the large number of terms in brackets. If no one disagrees, I will go ahead and incorporate their contents into wikilinks to the respective words.--Alasdair 16:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
