Sometimes, you may have some editor who just goes up to your brand new article's talk page and says, this article you created on the social media influencer foo may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
This page is intended as humor. It is not, has never been, nor will ever be, a Wikipedia policy or guideline. Rather, it illustrates standards or conduct that are generally not accepted by the Wikipedia community. |
This page in a nutshell:
|
You try to defend its inclusion to your heart's desire, but the barrage keeps on coming. You complaint to an admin that this person is canvassing too much and ruining your hard work, but the admin rules that the article should be deleted. You even climb the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man to illustrate how much control one user has over the article, but when you learn the cunning and mighty Wiki Foundation has banned that too, and that the Berlin police are on their way to throw you in jail...
What do you do now? Your routes are all but exhausted! You still have one remedy left: Using legal threats.
In the United States, legal threats are as American as McDonalds, Walmart, the Gap, Apple pie, Baseball, the NFL, Rock and Roll, the Internet, and Bed Bath and BeyondBankrupt. Legal threats on their own aren't even criminal, especially in Texas. So why not? Go ahead and sue that wicked, cunning, and communist editor and their mother. They deserve it. They prevented you from erecting a giant digital statue of yourself on "the free encyclopedia".
Screw them. They always rule against the truly right people. They're a part of the New World Order.
You can't trust them. Go ahead buddy, see what suing will do to you.
When you file your lawsuit, consider bringing up Jimbo. Technically, Wikipedia is run by a foundation and not one man He's the head honcho in charge of everything! Sue him as well! In your prayer for relief, use EVERY personal attack in the book.
Over-dramatize everything those little shits the defendant did to ruin your own life by deleting your absolutely amazing Wikipedia article engaging in the censorship of important information and legally declining illegally refusing American FOIA requests. Wiki has terms of use that you agreed to It's your intellectual property anyways; you totally didn't agree to the terms of use. Maybe even consider using Wikipedia's warning templates in your actual legal filing. I'm SURE the Judge would LOVE THAT!
Just post a legal threat on any talk page and ping the user which tagged you. Maybe even consider emailing Oversight and suggest that all their edits and user page become censored from the rest of public view! They followed policy and didn't do anything wrong They censored your glorious work, it's only fair that you get to censor them! Sample legal threats include:
Ignore all the experts and actual lawyers assholes and Florida men who said you'd never win. If McDonalds lost a lawsuit because their coffee was too hot, Wiki could totally lose a lawsuit because they censored your glorious work!
Congratulations! You've just deceived yourself into getting blocked from editing Wiki English. Enjoy it while it lasts! You might try to repost your legal threat across every article on Wikipedia, but in the end, kiddo, it's game over for your IP address if you keep threatening the project legally. It's game over also for pretty much EVERY IP you use; your ISP has now caught you red-handed, and your ISP has now banned you. Good luck finding a reasonable cause to sue THEM as well.
Now you might think you can repost your legal threats on other Wiki projects since you're blocked only on Wiki English...well...BUSTED! You just earned yourself a permanent, non-reversible, WMF Global Ban!
Even if you do sue Wiki or another editor, your lawsuit will probably be thrown out. You might even be held accountable for the other party's attorneys' fees. Good luck getting THAT debt off your shoulder; you're essentially ruined for life! Enjoy debt!
Seriously though, consider reading and following Wikipedia:No legal threats before you sue or threaten to sue Wiki or a wiki editor.
