If anyone knows how to use the math thing, plz do. --Q\DAN 04:37, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

    • On the server side I assume --Q\DAN 05:07, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be a good idea to tell people what a good/bad ratio looks like? One joke for every forty words? One joke for every fourteen words? How many is "not enough"? --Mister Six 10:19, 28 Oct 2005 (UTC)

it's never actually stated what a good ratio isNivi 08:58, 24 April 2008 (CDT)

For those who are confused, maybe take a few funny / lulzy articles and do a ratio count on them, and compare their scores with the unfunny article you are working on? --Naerys 05:35, 28 June 2008 (CDT)

Dividing gives a quotient, not a ratio dumbasses! Samble 00:03, 2 December 2008 (CST)

Subtracting Points for Facts

If everyone wrote articles without any verified facts, then how the hell will ED be able to tell what articles are a forced memes/completely random shit/etc.? I think subtracting a point for verified facts is a little overkill. Justj0sh1ng 20:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)Justj0sh1ng

That's why I don't bother with it.--Fiskie (Flame | Stuff to revert) 20:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
  • You two do realize that it's more of a joke and not meant to be taken literally right? DYS 20:29, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
