My goodness WTVEDDB. I feel I am called to do somthing about other pages, but, b-4 I can move on, I need to know why there is unrest with Oprah's page (which I worked on several years ago). In the name of truthiness, which can be believed by popularity merrit, I think the unrest posting should be deleted. So tell me, why is there unrest with Oprah? (and restore my confidence...)

New template! The "PhT" template is not quite right for the series on Colbertist Feeling (Philosophy of Truthiness), hence:

However, there's a problem: as it stands it tends to engulf the entire page in the border. What am I doing wrong here? --Atenea del Sol 01:18, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * That's got it, thanks. I was kind of thinking that this was one of the Templates of Approval, since anything associated with Colbertist Thought/Feeling is definitely a good thing.  Anyhow, since Colbertist Philosophy is the basis upon which the religion of Colbertism is founded, it would be a good thing.  Or do we create a new category for it? --Atenea del Sol 01:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Guide To Templates
This level of HTML is far above me, but it should be possible to run a macro that takes a URL: wikiality.com/Template:*

and inserts the code { {*} } in alphabetical order into an sample page:

wikiality.com/Templatesamples or */Templates/Samples

And lists the categories directly below it, including the "no includes" As opposed to inserting them in the page footer.

I've noticed it is often faster to make a new template than to find a suitable existing one. Worsening the confusion. The benefit of this would be:
 * 1) Cleaner pages
 * I've found several that are basically the same
 * 1) better cross linking and indexing of content
 * 2) generating more page views and longer average visit.
 * 3) Raising ad CPM =)

This is a tool that could be used on all wikis

no problem, helps me learn

check this rant http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/psamples.html this clown has way to much time on his hands. all that and he came up with 1% ???? thats not even a statistical margin of error... try checking a major university!

is there a page that visually shows all banner/margin templates? kinda like Worst Page Ever or is that counter intuitive to the way templates work?

--PhantomDuck 23:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Cross Categorizing
Saw you dropped some categories from banned hottie banner. I put some back. crossing will drive traffic, especially to new content that link to, but not from many pages.

Something I learned at off-road.com. when I was there we were second only to nascar.com in motorsports traffic. we drove traffic through controversy and cross linking all content. Now they suck. and are openly ridiculed on the off road community for being sell outs

They Destroyed the navigation model, fired all the good editors/writers. traffic there is down 10% in just the last 90days. When traffic began to slide Advanstar had Alexa change their designation from Sports/motorsport to Recreation/outdoor, so they could be #1 in their segment. Now they are #15, behind Gorp! If they were in motorsports they would be in the mid 20's

I was Sr Editor and VP Marketing/Corp Partner at offroad.com, was decent at html, very rusty now, this markup is easier.

if you have some time go there and search my pen name Mr Dune,I have several hundred thousand words there.

Advanstar has no balls, they didn't want to keep me or many of the other more "controversial" staff. We were VERY political and extremely Gonzo. Advanstar pussies have turned the site to editoral advertising fluff and can't we hold hands with the eco fags kumbai ya stupidity. They deleted or blocked all my best content.

This one slipped by the PC Nazi's (their new formatting removed the Header which read:

Its done... a couple suggestions:

Specs are boring and everywhere on the web for nerds that care... use uber truthiness!

You may want to trim some of the fields like max fuel/ range, those are with aux or drop tanks,blah blah... see? BORING! zzzzzzz

I also widened it to 250 to allow for less facts and more truth

aircraft are nothing BUT specs, could make that template 30ft long. only geeks and engineers care about that crap =)

I think I'm starting to get the hang of the spirit of Truthiness, some topics like a couple I just did Cavalry Stetson need more fact than truth (if someone ridiculed my Stetson, I'd terminate them) while Drive-In Movie is a perfect vehicle for beligerant satire, I think???

I can only assume since I haven't been scolded in awhile this would be true... I'm sure Big Brother has viewed all my contribs and edits...

Colberto Ertgo Sum
I'd like to do a rewrite of this, starting with spelling it correctly - it should be under "Colberto Ergo Sum" - I Colbert therefore I am. (Implying that Colbert is a verb, which has interesting implications all on its own.) If you want it to be "I watch Colbert, therefore I am" it should be Vigilo Colberto Ergo Sum. Suggestions? --Atenea del Sol 01:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * "Colberto Ergo Sum" is only correct to say "I Colbert Therefore I Am." If you're trying to say "I Watch Colbert, Therefore I Am" it should be "Vigilo Colberto Ergo Sum."


 * I personally think it would be interesting to have two different pages for the two concepts - one for Colberto Ergo Sum (although we MUST correct the spelling, it's not ERTGO) and another for Vigilo Colberto Ergo Sum. They're linked parts of the same philosophy.


 * OK, we now have content on Colberto Ergo Sum and Vigilo Colberto Ergo Sum. I'm working on a more overarching Philosophy of Truthiness, because it has come to my attention that we don't have one, and my gut wants to make one. --Atenea del Sol 19:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Proof that Atheists are Sodomites!
Romans 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness....

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Satire: Bill O'Reilly or the Whole World
Okay, serious fundamental question; who are we satirizing here? Cause Colbert aims at Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michael Medved, Dennis Prager, Michael Savage, et al. None of them are virulently anti-semitic. None. In fact, three are Jews.

So I understand satire. I've done satire. I'm a good writer and I think I understand character development and working in an ongoing continuity.

But the trick is, to make sure you don't go too broad, too over-the-top, or you miss your mark. The trick is to stay in character.

So are we trying to stay in character for Colbert here, or not? Are we satirizing the people he satirizes, in the way he satirizes them or do we have broader targets and a wider brush. Because one is totally different from the other.

That's a serious concern for me.

I give not two shits whether anyone thinks Jews killed Jesus, but nowhere has Stephen Colbert made that point as forcefully as anyone on that page. And I kept the idea, in the way I thought he'd express it. If that's wrong, well, I need to know. Because if this isn't an exercise in technical skill (how well can I mimic a well known comic and his widely publicized material) but instead just an exercise in the randomly broad satire, then it's not really the same. Is it?

What rules are we playing the game by?

I've written racist characters and bigots and jingoists of all stripes. It's easy. But what are the rules?The Egoist 04:10, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Good question. We try to satirize everything.  As far as who we're most like?  I'm going to have to say that we're more like the people who would listen to Bill O'Reilly, et al., a person who get their information from a source where reading is not involved: TV and talk radio.  The next generation's O'Reilly, a Papa Bear2.0, if you will.
 * Certainly we want to be as close to Stephen as possible, but we can't simply transcribe everything he says--that would be copyright infringement and he's made his feelings clear on that, well, maybe Viacom has made his feelings clear for him!
 * You know that since he hasn't covered every topic, we have to take an educated guess as to what he would say, which is where the satire/mocking comes from.
 * As far as the Jew page in general and the Christ-killing in particular, maybe if it was written in the character of an imaginary love-child of two high-status megalomaniacs like Stephen and Mel Gibson?
 * Please note, your caution on this page is appreciated, I don't want the page to turn into Stormfront, nor do I want the fact that Gibson is an unapologetic bigot to disappear from that page. After all, he's not the only ignorant person out there.  I want his ignorance mocked mercilessly.
 * Maybe what can be done is create a "controversy" section where the "guilt" or "innocence" of Jews in the death of everyone's savior is examined? Or, maybe a sharply composed "explanation" for why people believe Jews killed Christ that sounds similar to one of those "Elvis is still alive" true believers screeds.  Or, the section could be one politely-worded circular argument that wraps back onto itself several times?
 * We'll figure it out.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Try it now; Second Paragraph, Opening.


 * I generally prefer not to revert. Give me another quick crack and we can hammer out some compromise language. --The Egoist 05:38, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that's pretty solid. Not too Stormfront for Stephen, not so forgiving.  We can keep tinkering some other time, but I'm down for tonight.The Egoist 05:50, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Try Jew now. With the new and expanded Christ Killing section.The Egoist 15:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * More Revisions to Jew. Re-introducing the more hardline anti-semite stuff so that that it's funny and thought threw. The reason I ditched so much in those broad deletes was that, I'm sorry to say most f the ::::::writing was bad and alot of it was just lists.  I'm trying to re-assemble it into, well, a coherent article.  Take a look when you get the chance..The Egoist 16:22, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Lists are not necessarily bad; they can be a way for beginners to add their own joke to a page without knowing too much about code. However, when they dominate a page, there are several ways to solve the problem: remove the lists altogether, convert the lists to sentences, add non-list content to the page.
 * The Jew page is looking better, especially with the separate Christ-killing section.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 18:31, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
