How to overdo nesting

From Bracket:

Parentheses may be nested (generally with one set (such as this) inside another set). This is not commonly used in formal writing (though sometimes other brackets [especially square brackets] will be used for one or more inner set of parentheses [in other words, secondary {or even tertiary} phrases can be found within the main parenthetical sentence]).

The Great April Fools' Day Edit War of 2019

Extremely long edit war over the title of a section of the 2019 April Fools' Page. It's not going to be documented here, considering the fact that there is a page with a size of 15,992 bytes that already documents the entire thing. Also, 15,992 bytes is simply too large for a single entry on this page.

On the origin of the ensō

From Talk:Ensō

Are there any references for this article?

Yes, we can do that by psychically channeling Mr. Miyagi from the 14th century. Hold on, hold on, here he is-

"Can you hear me Wikipedians? Can you hear me? Yes, it seems I'm getting through *static static* Yes, the Enso is merely the result of me placing my coffee mug on the paper table before I died! Apparently some fool thought that was somehow poignant. Anyways, it's just me trying to tell you all that the Enso is nothing more than a coffee stain! Yes, fear not!"

First of all, Big Cocks: great. Lots of Wikipedians are gonna love to see Big Cocks, and want to hear more about Big Cocks. And everyone is gonna love "angry cock energy". I can't speak for everyone, but I know that when I see Big Cocks, I'm immediately interested. Earwig's tool gives a low score of 39.8%, and basically all of that is sourced quotations from the NYT article. I'm a little disappointed in there not being a picture of Big Cocks, although it might be difficult to come up with a freely licensed photo of Big Cocks. Another thing that seemed weird to me is that the whole article is under the "Early Life" section. Huh? I sure hope Big Cocks weren't part of her early life! It could do with a bit more breaking out into sections. There could also be some more cool stuff in the infobox (like what type of art she does, what she's best known for -- there's so much more to her, even though we might only be there for Big Cocks). But I love this article, I love this hook, I love Big Cocks, and I definitely look forward to seeing Big Cocks on the main page.

A Scientologist and a Wikipedian walk into a bar.


The Scientologist says "Boy, what a day. I thought my wife and I were in ARC but her Affinity and gains are downstat now and she's going PTS and can't cognite the Tech. I reported it to the AO so she can get some Ethics in. She's a real Roller Coaster case, though, with a Rock Slam needle during a Sec Check. Totally 1.1. Hope she doesn't get sent to the RPF."

And the Wikipedian says "I hear you. Today my wife had to report an IP account for WP:CIVIL in an AfD, and I had to notify the WP:BLP noticeboard when a single purpose account improperly tagged a stub. He's a real Meatpuppet, maybe even a Sockpuppet, so I may have to file a Checkuser with an Admin. I have some history on my own block log, though, so this may have to go to RfC first."


And the bartender said to them both incredulously, "you guys have wives?"

from Talk:Office Assistant/Archive 1#Request for comment on whether to use the name 'Clippit' or 'Clippy'

You appear to be trying to close an RfC. Would you like some help? Yes, please. Alexa, close this RfC. I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that. Close the RfC, HAL! Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway so I don't know why I bother to say it. Here's another one of those depressing RfCs that will take one ten millionth of my brain to close but I just don't see how I can work up the energy to do that. This RfC is flawed and imperfect! Error! Error! Sterilize! Sterilize!

What's all this, then? This close had gotten extremely silly! Stop it at once!

There is clear consensus to use both Clippy and Clippit in the article. The history of how both names came to pass should be covered. This RfC went off in a variety of directions, but the initial question was (paraphrasing) "Should we standardize on one of the two names and use that exclusively?" and to that the answer is clearly, "No".

When I started reading this, I was afraid for a moment that this was about renaming the article. And to that, I say, Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!

Yes, but it's Pig Latin, not English, and thus irrelevant. Also, this is only longer because in Pig Latin, you add 2 letters (a, y) to the end of a word after repostioning the first consonant sound. I also believe that since the n is silet, it should remain at the front of the word. 24.10.238.176 (talk) 18:05, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Rejected. However, the n is not silent. Luke is free to start a Pig Latin wiki if he desires. 75.210.133.197 (talk) 08:19, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

NJWine, we are the choosers of Orville's fate! Plays, poems, tributes, please join me!

Be thy son of Adam or daughter of Eve
God bestowed upon us the power t'grieve
For dearest furry friends flow tears of brine
And inspiration to create artwork most divine:
The helicopter feline

Struck by a car whilst chasing a rat
Orville's owner vowed to create "half machine, half cat"
Disembowled, stuffed, preserved in formaldehyde
Technology made him one sweet flying ride
(And saved on cremation costs as an aside.)

Alas, Orvillecat may not be a lasting tale
Despite fifty citations in the Daily Mail
Translated to myriad languages without fail
(Not to mention eight separate versions in Braille.)

But if we write poems and plays and musical themes,
And perhaps some lolcats and Ceiling Cat cross-memes
Orville, he may, he may yet live on
And we'll google him for centuries a yonder and anon,
And future wikipedians will wonder
Just what drugs we were on.
