- These are the sysops. If you have a problem, talk to them.
- 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.

Hi!
I'm going to attempt to explainify this all to you calmly and rationally rather than being an asshole. Bear with me, I don't have any experience with this.
- Any time you remove stuff from an article that you don't agree with, it will be reverted. (a la Asperger's Syndrome). Funny > Accuracy.
- Any time you say anything wanky about your pet cause or remove unflattering things from your user page, it will be reverted. Again, Funny > Vanity.
- Any time you add unfunny stuff to an article, whether it is true or not, it will be reverted (a la W, Conservatism). Funny > Truth > Unfunny
- If I had to sum this up for you in one equation, it would be: Funny Lies > Unfunny Truths
If you really want to view this as an agenda, you are welcome to do so, but you should bear in mind that most of the mods here (including me) are bleeding-heart, white-guilting Liberals, and many of them, including me, are total faggots. If you can't tell the difference between sarcasm, satire, and parody on the one hand and propoganda on the other, then you've probably come to the wrong Wiki.--hardvice (talk) 00:35, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

The Big Ol’ Gatsby By: Chuck Rawlings Honors English 11
If the United States of America in the 1920’s were to have plopped down on a psychologist’s couch, the doctor would be in for a very interesting patient with an unhealthy psyche. The “roaring” 20’s were filled with corruption, crime, and the self-centered obsession many citizens had with living out the “American dream.” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famed literary meditation of the time, “The Great Gatsby,” carefully examines all of these subjects by utilizing tangible, realistic characters who revel in the moral abandon and hedonism of the decade. It is through the travails of these characters that Fitzgerald unleashes his most powerful and effective weapon—symbolism, which dominates the novel, leaves a powerful impression and inspires thought-provoking internal discussion.
Doctor T.J. Eckleburg doesn’t say a single word during the entire novel, but his presence on a faded billboard overlooking the “valley of ashes” separating East and West Egg has a powerful effect. Nick first mentions the billboard in chapter II; he describes Eckleburg’s “blue and gigantic” retinas (27) looking out of “no face,” and his “eyes, dimmed by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground” (28). These descriptions create the impression that it represents God or a higher moral power, and though it is the most simplistic meaning that can be gleaned from these descriptions, it is also the most accurate. Whenever Nick mentions it, he normally references both its prominence in the area and its faded, beat-up condition, how it has been “ignored.” This is a perfect correlation to the place of God in American society. God and the moral path of righteousness had been a very omnipresent aspect of American culture dating back to the days of Puritanism of the 1600’s. Every action that was taken by most individuals was done with God in mind and whether He would judge it well. But over time, this presence has faded and been ignored, to the point where little notice is given to the idea of God or any type of moral system. While weakness and corruption has been part of the human experience since the beginning, by the 20’s it had become far more widespread and acceptable. Tom Bucchanan not only engages in an extramarital affair without any care or thought to it being wrong, he actually flaunts it around the city. This is a far cry from a time like the 1600’s, where the character of John Proctor in Arthur Miller’s Puritan-era drama The Crucible is ashamed of having an affair and can’t live it down. The only character who mentions the billboard is Nick, who alludes to it in the narrative any time he is in its presence. This further reinforces the symbolism, as Nick is also the only character who has second thoughts about at least some of his compatriots’ endeavors, and privately admits being “disgusted” at Gatsby’s self-indulgence and the Bucchanans’ wreckless self-indulgence and faux sophistication. The eyes of Eckleburg also happen to be nearby George Wilson’s garage, the place where many of the story’s most selfish and morally reprehensible acts take place; Myrtle’s eyes “wide with jealous terror” (131) upon mistaking Jordan to be Tom’s wife, Tom’s affair with Daisy, the killing of Myrtle by Gatsby and Daisy, etc. The most chilling moment involving the billboard comes when Wilson stares into the eyes while he recalls telling Myrtle “you may fool me, but you can’t fool God.” Clearly, Fitzgerald’s intent in including the eyes was to commentate on the fading presence of God in American society.
