WikiFallen


Attack page masquerading as humour. It's regrettable and unfortunately necessary that some Wikipedians end up blocked or banned. But, to attack them like this (to kick them when they're down, as it were) is not in keeping with the ethics of the Wikipedia community, especially as embodied by the words quoted here. It is not constructive to the encyclopedia and should be removed.  Claret Ash  15:25, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * KEEP - This isn't an attack page. No one's being named, or hinted at, or even linked to.  About the only thing even close to a name is "Nupedia".  Keep as humor. @- Kosh  ► Talk to the Vorlons ►  Moon Base Alpha  -@ 19:45, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page serves as an reflective learning tool for Wikipedians.  It was written by prominant Wikipedians, and it contains wisdom disguised as humour.  No individual is being attacked.  Anyone who feels slighted might be well advised to read it a little more deeply.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't intend to attack anyone when I made this essay. However, it is as you say, a sad reality that a lot of talented yet misguided editors. The page was meant to keep others from falling to the same pattern. After all "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster...". -- Lenticel ( talk ) 04:46, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * For the record, I don't think you had anything less than good motives in creating the page.  Claret Ash  12:28, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. No identifiable person is referenced in the content here. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:54, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Just to clarify, I never stated in the nom that any particular person was being attacked. In fact, my words clearly indicated that I believe the page to be an attack against a class of people. That no individual person is named is irrelevant. I feel that banned and blocked editors should be either helped or ignored. All this page does is emphasise that they've been rejected. It should offer either constructive advice (like WP:TIGER) or say nothing at all.  Claret Ash  12:28, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that this page does more [good] than you appear to see. However, it would be really good if would add to the page to help reduce its inadequacies.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:53, 29 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment I find the whole WikiFauna thing vaguely repelling — and not in the least amusing — even if this isn't a particularly bad example of it. Perhaps nom. would like to put the whole Wikifauna set up for Mfd? We could then have a debate about whether this kind of stuff should be in Wikipedia space at all? -- Klein zach  13:19, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I consider the WikiFauna stuff to be harmless silliness serving the same objective as WikiLove but with less sugar. Much less sugar. Then again, the joke can go too far (How long before we see WP:WikiDinosaur or WP:WikiAmoeba?) Having said that, I am tempted to send WikiLove to MfD...
 * Anyway, although I'm still not convinced of the value of the WikiFallen page, I won't press the issue further. I'm respecting the consensus and withdrawing my AfD nomination. Thanks to everyone for their input. And I'll see you at Miscellany for deletion/WikiLove  Claret Ash  13:38, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
