Retarded outside of some ability. And I doubt too many of them are outright retarded like Chris-chan. I think it's mostly people who fall into Wikipedia like it was a PvP MMO. Everything is power plays and internal politics. I think in the end it's largely misplaced motivation, and Motivation is Everything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fensler_Films#GI_Joe it's vitally important that we have a play-by-play of all of these When the children reach out with a stick, Snow Job approves ("Give him the stick."), then immediately contradicts himself ("Don't give him the stick!"). When they reply to him simultaneously with two statements ("We're sorry," and "Do you know my dad?") Snow Job then sings a loud "Oh" to an A note in a bass-baritone voice.

Footboy posted:Luckily, while Wikipedians love to explain jokes to the point of ruining them completely, they're very bad at citing references. You could nix that entire section. Is it just me, or is the skier man saying 'lawn' and not 'loch'? I realise he looks visiably scottish, what with the red hair and all, but I still think hes saying 'lawn' Ageed, I'm pretty sure he's saying lawn. Loch doesn't make much sense, anyway. Errick 22:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC) How does Loch not make sense. the kid is on a lake.Xinline88 Just listened to it again and he's definitely saying 'loch'. makes a hell of a lot more sense than lawn. 72.228.245.16 05:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC) its not meant to make sense, its gi joe.

Excalibre posted:idk mostly i read it for more serious content but sometimes it's kind of useful to look up unfamiliar pop culture references or figure out what season a tv show episode was from or whatever Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: Why is there no image of the subject of the article? A: The image has had a tumultuous history on the encyclopedia, since a Vote for Deletion in 2005. Between 2005 and 2009, the image was repeatedly uploaded and deleted under our criteria for speedy deletion: namely, G3 (pages that were created solely to vandalise the encyclopedia) and G4 (pages recreated after a deletion discussion, when the recreation did not address the reasons for its deletion. In April 2009, the image was uploaded, and a user made several edits to the image and included it in a manner the user believed to address the criteria; however, the image was summarily deleted and the deletion later endorsed by the community. In mid-to-late-2009, a consensus of editors on the talk page agreed to have the image used, but hidden by default, and later shown by default. The inclusion was controversial, and led to a Mediation Cabal case to resolve the dispute by those wishing to include and those wishing to exclude the image. After another summary deletion, a deletion review found the image to have been deleted out of our normal process, and was deferred to the files for deletion process. After a lengthy nine-day discussion, which pitted the reasons of Wikipedia not being censored and precedent in cases regarding website screenshots and notable images against copyright concerns, ethical concerns about using pornography without the subject's consent, and a opposition to use of offensive content, the image was eventually deleted, with the closing admin noting that, while Wikipedia is not censored and may contain offensive images, there were still concerns about whether the image would pass our non-free content criteria which precluded usage.
