Wikipedia talk:Silly Things

New Pages going on too long

The new pages have to many jokes on them, some of them have 200, which is to many imo. They used to have just 30 to 50 jokes per page which made it a lot more navigatable.--IvanKnight69 13:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The Next Page Title

New page instructions...

I made a new page instructions page here: Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/New page instructions so that the next page title can be easily added using those links on that page. -- AllyUnion (talk) 06:06, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Can I edit this?

Hey, am I allowed to put my own edits into BJAODN?

• Sounds like a questionable practice to me. Kevyn 16:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Only if you ask really nicely and give us muffins.

lol my "because they are truly great, and the geniuses behind these impressive jokes must be extremely intelligent" edit is still there... 216.120.137.146 11:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Big page

This page is getting big. Really big. Would it be a good idea to break it up into subpages based on the initial letter of the article from which a bad joke was deleted?

---

It certainly looks like it's as long as it ought to managably get!

btw, re the last line - Free will is wanted by 11 articles... oh no! What if we give it to them and they stage a revolt and take over the entire Wikipedia! {sorry, I couldn't resist...}

Thank you!

Thank you one and all.... I needed a good laugh tonight! luckymama58

OMG! I love these pages! They are amazing - few other things in the world are as hilariously, outrageously laugh-out-loud funny as this...I truly have big time stomach pains, about to literally roll on the floor laughing - and i haven't even finished the first page! I LOVE IT. Please continue to submit these articles - what undeniably top-notch wacky hilarity.--Chao 00:59, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Separating BJAODN content from BJAODN templates

What I want is seperation of the actual jokes from the templates, so the page most people would access would simply have the normal BJAODN templates, and have something like {{{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/raw}}. The actual jokes would be at the /raw subpage. This would be useful for something like User:Sgeo/BJAODN. --Sgeo | Talk 22:48, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC). Late addition: I created Template:subpage which could be used like: {{subpage|raw}} --Sgeo | Talk 22:48, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

First of all, your User:Sgeo/BJAODN idea is excellent. I've copied it to the Wikipedia namespace at Wikipedia:Bad jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/Encyclopaedia BJAODNonica.

However, I don't think it's a good idea to differentiate between content and formatting templates here. It's an unnecessary creation of more work (see: m:Instruction creep) for a Wikipedia maintenance page of decidedly lesser importantance.

Really, it's no biggie if User:Sgeo/BJAODN has redundant headers and so forth. The BJAODN content isn't exactly elegant in the first place. :-) • Benc • 22:45, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Fictional BJAODN

How about a page where we could put what we would think is funny, but was never added to an article.? --Sgeo | Talk 22:03, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

Waaay too much potential to explode into something truly huge. That's actually a good thing, but not for an encyclopedia. Take it to our sister project Wikibooks instead, please. • Benc • 22:27, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

BJAODN on the comedy Wikicity

I think any future criteria for BJAODN should be transwikied to "The comedy Wikicity" rather than retain it on Wikipedia since Wikicities dosen't have as strict of a policy concerning article styles and content in the article. --SuperDude 19:29, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Announcement: Wikicomedy just had it first transwiki from Wikipedia: come check it out!. --SuperDude 19:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You know, previous discussions have shown that users prefer to keep the content on the Wikipedia. The Wikipedia should not be without any humor, games or what not... -- AllyUnion (talk) 11:29, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree. In fact, it's one thing to argue that something like Wikipedia:Chess championship shouldn't be on Wikipedia, but it's a whole 'nother matter to argue that content which originated on Wikipedia can just be transwikied elsewhere. The argument used ("Wikicities dosen't have as strict of a policy concerning article styles and content in the article") makes no sense either: neither does BJAODN, that's the point. OK, OK, in the particular case of ASCII cows, which never started on Wikipedia to begin with, we could transwiki (though nothing much seems to be gained from this either). But certainly not the main BJAODN pages. JRM · Talk 12:16, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)

Chess is fine, but this stuff really doesn't make any sense outside of the Wikipedia context. Things that were funny because they were briefly in a Wikipedia article are not necessarily funny in their own right. Please keep this content here. I don't think it adds any value to Wikicomedy. Angela. 05:48, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't matter about Wikipedia's "policy concerning article styles and content in the article", as BJAODN by definition has been deleted from the article namespace. Copy stuff to the comedy Wikicity by all means, but keep it here and add new stuff here as well. the wub (talk) 12:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Question

I can put anything I see funny on these pages right? Oh and I'm not going to put stuff that I wrote on, but if someone wants to see my warning box, it might be BJAODN quality. Rentastrawberry 05:04, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

You can put content from other Wikipedia pages which you consider funny. - Sikon 15:44, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Proposal: Global TOC

How about creating a global table of contents for BJAODN, with links to corresponding pages? Of course, there's an option to list all of them on one page, but this is very traffic-consuming. - Sikon 15:45, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don't ever delete this!

This is the best Wikipedia page (of course the links contained on it are the most important, but you get my point). Don't ever delete this page! Matei Tache 6 July 2005 02:55 (UTC)

Votes for Transwiki

It seems some people feel this is inappropriate content for Wikipedia. Perhaps it would be more appropriate as a subpage of b:Jokebook? I don't mind doing the transwiki myself, and I'll tidy it all up in the process. Besides, we have content at Wikibooks which we'd like to put in there, and I feel it's inappropriate to put BJAODN from Wikibooks onto Wikipedia. - Aya 42 ^T C 17:11, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Little late to be getting in here, but I'll offer up that the only time I've ever actually mentally pronounced it was in reading the title of Encyclopedia BJAODNinca I came up with an instinctive BUH-joN... a pretty hard N because of the D. Similer to the differences between su and tsu in japanese. subtle, but there. -M^ask 03:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the correct pronounciation is /bya.on/ - the D is silent, and the J is pronounced like a Latin I. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 13:44, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Although it's probably actually /byao.dən/. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 15:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Unless you can actually be bothered to learn IPA, in which case it's something like /bjæ.a.dən/. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 14:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I suggesting taking out the "bad" because it's subjective POV to state quality of jokes and also unverifiable without an IRL study. So JOADN would be Joanne or like J + Odin. DyslexicEditor 15:43, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Are you also suggesting blocking Christian Wikipedians because the Bible doesn't cite its sources? It's just a bit of humour. (Sorry about that, I tend to blurt out random things). Oh, and it'd be JAODN - /dʒæu.dən/, or similar. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 08:12, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how to add this to BJAODN

There's a stub type up for deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion under August 24th. The "Hot Jewish Actress" stub. I don't know how I can add it to BJAODN but I think it's funny enough for inclusion. If I put it on BJA... won't it just dissappear when it gets deleted? Is there any way to make sure it still stays up here? Dismas 09:15, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Dismas, I know of that one. Sorry, I can't help you post it. Stopped by to tell you that, believe it or not, a group of stub types named "Porn Actresses Who Really Excel At Anal Sex" (or suchlike) were also created by its creator, with ratings of 1, 2 and 3, depending on their level of skill.

It IS deleted from one place AND recopied elsewhere. "RADAR /reɪdɑɹ/, from RAdio Detection And Ranging," from Acronym and initialism. So "And" is perfectly legitimate to use. On the other hand if it is either nonsense or a bad joke why is it here? to laugh at. How bad can the joke be if its good enough to save for others to laugh at?

New idea for how to gently convince pranksters to stay off of Wikipedia

I created a new template: Template:Uncyclopedia {{uncyclopedia|name}}

This way, when you tell someone "please don't post your jokes here, there are other sites for that stuff," you can also give them a shiny box to click on so that they know where to go to post their nonsense in peace. This is not intended to dry up the well of new content for BJAODN (nothing short of a fascist revolt will do that), but rather to dry up the complaints that come when the BJAODN is deleted from the encyclopedic portion of Wiki. --M@rēino 20:57, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Is This Fair?

Question: how can Wikipedia possibly claim objectivity when its articles have names like "In Soviet Russia, Bad Jokes and Other Nonsense Delete You!" and most of the other titles refer to Western pop culture?

It doesn't have articles with those titles. This is in Wikipedia space (hence the "Wikipedia:"" part of the title). So it's not an article. In any case, if you want to propose non-western-based titles, go ahead on the proposal page! Grutness...wha? 23:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Suggested new BJAODN-related page

I'd like to create a page titled something like Wikipedia:Weird titles from deleted articles, for articles that have been deleted but whose titles are either surreal or just plain strange. It was prompted by two articles currently on AFD: List of magical negroes and Allah-Kitten controversy. I thought I'd better suggest it here since it could easily become a fork of BJAODN. Any thoughts? Grutness...wha? 23:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Dates?

I think it would be really handy to put the start and end dates of each BJAODN so we kind of know the timeframe of where the jokes are coming from in time-sensitive issues, such as the 2004 presidental election (I ran across it whne reading BJAODN #17) - Hbdragon88 06:24, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Proposal

That the "BJAODN 42:" be removed from the current title. Redundant, doesn't need to be part of the actual title, and might not have originally intended to be such. At the very least the "BJAODN" part has got to go. Morgan Wick 06:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikia

Well, unfortunately we don't keep it because all of the jokes here are "bad", we keep it because that's the way it started - it's tradition, you see. And if we renamed it, that would mean all the jokes involving BJAODN (Encyclopedia BJAODNica, etc) would not be funny. -Jetman123 22:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• Because "The Answer to Bad Jokes, the Universe, and Other Deleted Nonsense" is modifying "BJAODN 42". You can picture Deep Thought saying: "The Answer to Bad Jokes, the Universe, and Other Deleted Nonsense is... BJAODN 42!" But Dirty Harry wouldn't say: "The You've gotta ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel like Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense?' Well, do ya, punk? is...

Complaints about protected pages and rouge rogue admins.

In the interest of streamlining the process of unprotecting wrong-version-protected pages and quickly removing the admins who perform this heinous act, I've created a simple form which can be filled out and attached to the talk page of the malprotected article, the admin in question, the admin's user page, the talk pages of any associated users, Jimmy Wales, and the talk page of Star Trek, mostly because those guys have nothing better to do.

The original version was a simple page on MetaWiki, but has been modified somewhat for form-filling use. In order to make this form Policy^TM, I'd like to ask the people here to review and assist in updating this form to meet current WikiPedia needs.

Thank you for your attention. ~Kylu (u|t) 04:29, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Joke namespace

Maybe we should make a Joke: namespace, to clearly segregate all jokes from real articles. There are various jokes on the BJAODN page, and other humorous essays in the Wikipedia: namespace. These should be moved to the Joke: namespace, e.g. Joke:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense. Pcu123456789 15:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Other users have begun to crack down on cross-namespace redirects, and the BJAODN redirect was in article space, so it's gone now. However, on the upside, the incident has made me use the shorter redirect, WP:) . --Kuzaar^-T-C- 18:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

My proposal for a new BJAODN page

I've seen many silly edit descriptions, and I was thinking that a new BJAODN page could be made out of them. The following edit summaries could be included in the article:

• dude, this freaking rocks
• LOLOLOLGOATSE!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111!!!!!!!
• JIMBO WALES SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JIMBO SUCKS@
• WHAT KIND OF IDIOT ARE YOU, I'M NOT A TROLL, I'M A VANDAL!
• untidying up
• Reverting good edits

I created that new BJAODN page

If nobody's commenting on my proposal, I might as well make the page. Check it out! Wikipedia:Vandalism edits with silly edit descriptions

Too bad it was deleted, I think it's a great idea. (Then again I often think things are funny when everyone else doesn't.) --WikiSlasher 07:00, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I did this vandalism and don't want to put it in just because I did it...

So, I'll paste the vandalism below, and you guys can decide if it belongs or not. I think this was on the Helen Keller page for about a half an hour.

Appearance on To Tell the Truth

In 1960 Keller appeared on an episode of To Tell the Truth. She was completely unable to stump the panel consisting of Kitty Carlisle, Peggy Cass, Bill Cullen, and Orson Bean. She failed miserably due to the fact, that in the opening segment, the impostors' speech differed greatly from Keller's. This memorable segment is written below:

• Announcer: Contestant #1, what is your name?

Contestant #1: My name is Helen Keller.

Announcer: Contestant #2, what is your name?

Contestant #2: My name is Helen Keller.

Announcer: Contestant #3, what is your name?

Contestant #3 (The real Keller): Ehruhruuruurhrhhhrrrrr.

That's it. You decide. FireSpike 18:18, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Blocked users with bizarre usernames

I noticed that this page has been deleted because it was said to glorify vandals. Technically, all of BJAODN glorifies vandals and their stupidity to some extent, so I'm not sure how this page is any different. I'm not proposing that BJAODN be deleted, I'm just curious as to why that page was singled out.--Lorrainier 15:44, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

BJAODN doesn't glorify vandals. It glorifies humor. People have the right to show their sense of humor outside of Wikipedia. However, pasting humor on an article on Wikipedia is considered vandalism, because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. This page is not a Wikipedia article- it is a Wikipedia page. The humor was deleted from Wikipedia, but lives at this page. This page's URL begins with en.wikipedia.org, but is not part of Wikipedia, because it's not an article. Since people have the right to show there sense of humor (however stupid) outside of Wikipedia, the humor should remain, and none of the BJAODN pages should be deleted. SupaStarGirl 12:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you, but how do we restore the page? -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 12:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I've listed it here asking that it be restored since it was deleted without discussion. Feel free to request that it be restored/stay deleted here.--Lorrainier 22:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

The deletion has been overturned. An admin should restore the page soon.--Lorrainier 23:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Possibly the largest title for a Wikipedia article?

Whilst pressing the Random Article button, I came across this article: Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We've Slipped On, and Egg Shells We've Tippy Toed Over. Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards in the Spokes, Automatic Biographies. Could that possibly be the longest title for an Wikipedia article? --tgheretford (talk) 21:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

No, but it's quite close. The longest current title for a wikipedia article that I know of (an outdated list can be found at User:Interiot/Reports/LongTitles) is How Hedley Hopkins Did a Dare, robbed a grave, made a new friend who might not have really been there at all, and while he was at it committed a terrible sin which everyone was doing even though he didn't know it.

WP:DAFT also lists several lengthy former titles, including (with apologies for the language...) FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING CUNTING COUPLES.

Adding a bad joke

I realized that I just made an edit that may well be worthy of BJAODN status... is there a nomination process? It's not likely to be deleted as it's a talk page comment on the notability of a person mentioned in an article, but I just realized how unintentionally hillarious it may be...

Fair use images

I notice that there are some fair use images on these pages. According to fair use criterion #9, fair use images are not to be used outside of article space. Is there an exception for these pages, or should the images be linked/removed? Khatru2 09:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Link them. --GunnarRene 09:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Searching

Hi.

Is there any way to search this for something I heard has been BJAODNd without slogging through all those very long pages, anyway? 74.38.35.171 22:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

First thing I would try is Google. Wikipedia gets indexed frequently. ~ CZeke 19:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The wages of sin

What normally happens to those who make the silly edits that get posted here? Vandalism is supposed to result in at least a warning, but it seems odd to scold the poster and then turn around and enshrine his work in BJAODN. Some of the better ones in here are so elaborate they must have been perpetrated by experienced Wikipedians; does that "go on their records," as it were? (Or are they just always careful to make the edits while logged out?) ~ CZeke 19:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Not Sure How to ADD

I recently saw two moves of AL Gore to "total idiot" and a move of Miley Stewart to "The new page". Also, Michigan has been twice attacked with changing random links to "idiot." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zbl (talk • contribs) 23:39, 30 January 2007 (UTC).

DWWE

I know it's been about a year, but can someone add pieces from the DWWE and Digimon Wrestling articles to this BJAODN article. They were hilarious. They talked about a "10 ft bohemoth" and somebody getting knocked out by a bookbag or something. Priceless. I would put them on here, but I don't know how to access something that has been deleted, or if you even can.--Pelican 07:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, a line from the Wikipedia article about many of Wikipedia's articles not having citations ending in a {{fact}} template was included on one of the pages, and is still on the article, so, yes, I think. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 15:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Two questions

In case no one noticed, earlier today or last night, I forget, WP:AN tentatively proposed MfD'ing the whole thing (BJAODN) I think. Aside from the serious aspect, doesn't that seem like a BJAODN candidate itself?

Secondly, (sorry if this is a dumb question; I rarely come here and contributed an entry for the first time tonight) does it literally have to be a bad joke, or nonsense that was deleted to qualify? What if it's was an edit by a legit editor that is just incredibly funny or ironic?

— SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 08:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

1. Well, it was proposed before (but on April Fool's Day, so there were comments like "Send to BJAODN", and it was claimed to be deleted with the "I" in "Deleted" changed to an "l" (capital "i" to lowercase "L")), and it wasn't deleted then, but... no, I don't really think it seems that ironic. But then again, I have a very weird mind.
2. Yes, you can add things like that, but it should be clearly marked as such. Like something from the Wikipedia page was added, although it is still on there for its factual accuracy^{[citation needed]}.

• No need to get like that. I'm sure there's a loophole somewhere... Belgium EO 01:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

What now?

I staunchly support the notion of BJAODN, and would hate to see it die quietly. Two concerns have been raised:

1. It's not funny, so it's a waste of time.
2. It violates the GFDL.

The first concern is nonsense - who is anyone to judge? The second concern is legitimate but not insurmountable. All that needs to be done is to post a link to the diff of the nonsense alongside the nonsense. This makes the editing process substantially more annoying, because you now have to do two copy-and-paste jobs instead of one, but it will maintain the connection between content and its original authors. Diff-linking is standard in places like WP:AN3 and can easily become a habit. Entries can be monitored for compliance and deleted after an arbitrary waiting period (7 days?).

I made another suggestion on the WP:AN thread, which is probably less practical.

This move for deletion is total rubbish. Don't take our nonsense away from us! At the very least, move it to the Illogicopedia so it isn't lost forever. But I guess that would be violating licensing also. Sigh. -- Hindleyite 12:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

• For vandalism diffs, the diff alone is sufficient. For deleted articles, the names of the authors should also be used. The more formal archiving system suggested by Dark Ermac is not necessary. YechielMan 22:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
