--Abort, retry, fail 21:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC) Hello, Abort, retry, fail

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User

Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.

If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. To start you off:

• Sign your comments using four tildes (like this ~~~~)
• To answer a message, reply on the user's talk page.
• These are the sysops. If you have a problem, talk to them.

These tips will hopefully prevent you from getting raeped by the ED admins.

2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.

Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.

Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list and ED IRC. If you need an admin, the list of active ED Sysops will let you know who's around. To chat with or to ask for help from other ED users, then please hit up the experts in #wiki on our IRC.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter. If that's not enough ED for you, feel free to join the all new ED Forums.

Oh, and I'm a petty, vindictive, megalomaniacal crypto-fascist effeet twat who thinks posting an image in french is a sign of sophistication.

Tip

If you want the edit summary to say what you're redirecting something to on a redirect, just leave it blank nd it does it automatically. Miltopia 22:05, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

"Hai2u"

You're supposed to have over five thousand edits before welcoming and unwelcoming lulz.--Razor Ramon 02:01, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I am on a search for main-page appropriate articles. Web 2.0 is well-written, but could use moar expansion, and Open source is slightly boring. ILU 4evar if you choose to make either multi-level bonus win. Tfo 19:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Lulzcon UK

So I'm putting together a Lulzcon UK for Feb when I'm in London. I have Colin, User:ShowMeDoMoney, User:Bombuzal, User:Abdul, and there's User:Growling_mad_scientist and User:iicatsii so far. You in? Is there anyone else I'm missing? --Is It Cos I Is Black? 01:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• Sadly Ill be busy on whatever day its scheduled for. Otherwise Id love to come, natch. :'( --Abort, retry, fail 01:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Wow...that sucks. I'm the opposite; name a day -any day- and I can tell you right now I'm not doing anything. I don't know if that's sad or glad.--Is It Cos I Is Black? 01:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
    • That means you have too much money. D: KEKEKE_{Talk to me} ^{Listen to me.} 02:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Yeah, Im gonna be hella busy the whole first half of next year. I got a research grant, could be my chance to get my name in print and become irl-famous!--Abort, retry, fail 12:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
      • IRL fame will only lead to an article on ED where you will be mocked, deflamed and Photoshopped onto vidcaps from pr0n movies. Do like I did: take your grant and spend it all on hookers and blow. But save enough to coast -happily unemployed- for at least three years. When the well starts to run dry, hang on tight and start praying for the aliens to come down and do away with work, money and stuff like rent (god, they better hurry).--Is It Cos I Is Black? 19:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

vandalism

okay so one questions is. that dumb thing i made on Massive damage is vandalised (by you haha) should i wait untill i read more articles (btw, I've read alot, so. i mean, uhg. yeah) or should i clean it up right away. is it really that bad? geez.Gogoranger 14:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• clean it up, but dont forget to remove the {{shit}} template. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a worthless article, just tidy it up, format it properly, add some wiki links and pics, and some lols. have a look at some other articles in the Memes category, that'll give you the right idea for how such an article should look. And add a gallery, a meme is nothing without image macros :)--Abort, retry, fail 15:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
  • man, eff this crap, that wasnt fun, i was cleaned it up and all and then it gets baleeted. whats up with that? i guess ae wants to keep down the number of articles? what, do i have to be a member for like 2 years. i dont want to re-publish the site because it wasnt.. fitting here. geez. how long did you have to wait before you got anything up here for a long time.. hmmf.Gogoranger 19:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Hmm, its been restored and looks pretty good to me. A worthy start. Some of the people with power here love to abuse it (I'm looking at you, ODB) but there are some reasonable ones too. If you have any problems with one, just go and cry to another one. With luck, the second will not only help you out, but start a wikiwar with the first.--Abort, retry, fail 14:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
      • With luck, you will be impregnated by three unicorns with a diaper fetish by the next full moon. Just sayin'. KEKEKE_{Talk to me} ^{Listen to me.} 17:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Not a noob, kthx. Fake Your Space is a good stub that can be linked from MySpace and Facebook for lulz. Maybe somebody who has more time on the Internets can do so before I can. --Neurophyre 23:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
