Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not/Outtakes
 | This is a humorous essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors and is made to be humorous. This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. This essay isn't meant to be taken seriously. |
What Wikipedia is not – Outtakes is a composition that explores the Wikipedia official policy What Wikipedia is not. As noted in that policy, "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and, as a means to that end, an online community of individuals interested in building a high-quality encyclopedia in a spirit of mutual respect. Therefore, there are certain things that Wikipedia is not." For example, Wikipedia content is not a paper encyclopedia, a dictionary, a blog or webspace provider, or a crystal ball and the Wikipedia community is not a democracy, bureaucracy, battleground, or an anarchy. Importantly, Wikipedia is not censored. However, since What Wikipedia is not was first developed beginning at least as early as September 24, 2001, a number of proposed additions never made it in. This essay looks at portions of the policy that were removed in the editing process and not included in the work's final, publicly released version. In addition, it looks at portions of the policy that may have been removed had they been added in the editing process, but nonetheless have relevance to the policy. In effect, What Wikipedia is not – Outtakes may provide a perspective to the What Wikipedia is not official policy to provide the reader a better understanding of what Wikipedia is not.
Note: Some really bad jokes are now at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not/BJAODN.

Wikipedia is not a cabal
[edit]Wikipedia is only run by a cabal. Of thousands. But don't worry – you, too, can join the cabal by making a history of constructive, high-quality edits. That, and learn the secret password. (It's "Swordfish.")
- There Is No Cabal (TINC). We discussed this at the last Cabal meeting, and everyone agreed that There Is No Cabal. An announcement was made in Cabalist: The Official Newsletter of The Cabal making it clear that There Is No Cabal. The words "There Is No Cabal" are in ten-foot letters on the side of the 42-story International Cabal Headquarters, and an announcement that There Is No Cabal is shown at the start of every program on The Cabal Network. If that doesn't convince people that There Is No Cabal, I don't know what will. --Guy Macon (talk) 09:53, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not the Bible
[edit]Don't put Bible copypasta here. As stated in the gospel according to Saint Jimbo 4:20, God has commanded it.
Wikipedia is not a kitten
[edit]Though sometimes cute and cuddly, Wikipedia is not a kitten. Please do not stroke it lovingly. It scratches! YEEEOOOOW!
Wikipedia is not a lightbulb
[edit]It is worth noting that if an engineer builds a better lightbulb, this engineering will have no noticeable impact on Wikipedia policies, guidelines or consensus.[2]

- I'm complaining about your claim that you have elephants in your back yard, that elephants live in Antarctica, and that they are overpopulating the world. Article discussion pages are to be used for improving the quality of the article and this is noted at the top of that particular article. Unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. --Yamla 19:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A PLACE TO SELL YOUR LOW-QUALITY [WAREZ]

Wikipedia is not a guttermouth convention
[edit]So please refrain from using profanity. Or else I'm bringing the mammoths back from extinction and let them take over the Illuminati so you'll never explode on us again like a pig wearing a torpedo on his macaroni and T-shirts again that have the letter = on it. And don't climb the angry mastodons dressed as a ton of bricks! And if you find yourself digging deeper Kool-aids, stop being a jerk!
Wikipedia is not a song parody
[edit]Hey I just met you – and this is crazy – but I hate swearing – so stop it maybe.
It's actually a WikiMenagerie.
Wikipedia is not a place to create secret hidden messages
[edit]By embedding them in blocks of otherwise innocuous text. Did I just give something away?
Wikipedia is not a place to dump large quantities of material copied from "My Documents"
[edit]Except for here:
The book Animal Farm is, clearly, a fictional story. However, this allegory's connection to the early days of Communist Russia is all too true. The leading pigs of the Farm take control, not only of the establishment, but also of the residents. They are able to mislead the all-too-ignorant populace into thinking whatever they do is a good thing for all. The crookedness of Animal Farm's government is shown from the very start, and comes through to the end, culminating in a slogan that was all too true when the real-life correlation to this story happened not so long ago.
The first flavor I would like to see is sweet onion. I like raw onions and I know that other people do too. In addition, the onion jelly bean would mix well with some of your existing jelly bean flavors. Another flavor that I thought would be exciting and popular is the egg flavored jelly bean. Many people I know eat eggs at all times of the day and so I think it would be a popular choice. Last, but not least, is the broccoli jelly bean. I understand that broccoli jelly beans might not sound very popular at first, but you could make them be a healthy snack to eat. If they were healthy, parents could get their kids to eat broccoli in a rather sweet way.
In the dining room, many pesky monsters roam, namely Werewolves and Headless Specters. However, they are no match for the mighty football helmet! Some of the collapsing floor tiles have snack boxes hidden directly under them. Jump quickly and take the risk of falling to grab these delicious packets of tastiness. Sometimes, the menacing lit fireplace may breathe fire, guarding a snack box. Time your jump carefully and snag it without being roasted. If you head-smash some webs against the wall, it will take you into a closet with some snacks and sandwiches in it. Although you might always have a full five dog-tags in health, it is a helpful oasis. (It's also fun to stand in the right place and get the view from the inside of a rotating sandwich!)
The Truth is out there ... wait, sorry, I mean out there. Really. I mean it. Turn off the computer and go outside now. You have had enough for one day.
Wikipedia is not a place to leave out punctuation
[edit]It gets really confusing if you leave out punctuation marks, please use them it makes long sentences easier to read and makes it clear exactly what you are on about.
Wikipedia is not a place to post half-finished sentences
[edit]Half-finished articles and Candlejack are fine, but please finish your sentences!
- Poor thing – only did it for the lulz.
Wikipedia is not a place to invent new spelling and grammar
[edit]It hinders communication if we don't use the same spelling or grammar. Yes, you can decide to use non-standard fleemishes and the reader can still gloork the meaning from the context, but there ix a limit; If too many ot the vleeps are changed, it becomes harder and qixer to fllf what the wethcz is blorping, and evenually izs is bkb longer possible to ghilred frok at wifx.

Wikipedia is not a place to sabotage articles with personal info
[edit]Wkipedia is not the place to explain that Jim Hersha is a 12th grader in Arkansas who loves chocolate and bums.
Content referencing Jim and his predilections will be be removed.
Wikipedia is not a place to tell really filthy but totally funny jokes
[edit]I told you it wasn't.
Wait a second, it so is ...
Wikipedia is not a place to type things while not looking at your keyboard
[edit]so please do not ro any of tjat pm wpolo[edoa. Conversely, you could learn to touch type, which produces this much clearer sentence.
Wikipedia is not a place
[edit]At all, really. Not really.
Wikipedia is not a site opposing random and trivial fictional stuff
[edit]On the contrary. Wikibooks and Fandom were created for a reason.
Wikipedia is not a soapbox
[edit]So don't expect to find any leftovers for the next batch of laundry (ba-dum-psssh).[f]
And don't expect to have an audience for your jokes =)
Wikipedia is not a text adventure
[edit]You have been eaten by a Grue
Restore, Restart, or Quit?
Granted, we have edit counts for levels (but not to the extent of Everything 2); edit distribution and other stats; administrators, arbitrators, vandals, and so on for classes; sockpuppets for using "summons" on a hacked character; over 1.3 million players; over 1,130,000 locations (including 900+ Featured towns and cities), pubs (talk pages); quest rewards (barnstars); boss battles (FAC); class change trials (RFA), and battle arenas (AIV).
Wikipedia is notable, but do not feel special for editing a notable website
[edit]you are not special even if you are making changes to a notable website
Wikipedia is not for spreading false information
[edit]since wikipedia is an encyclopedia, people are able to spread false information pretty quickly, and then the new generation of wikipedians would definitely not become stupid[sarcasm] and would totally be able to see the truth about it all,[sarcasm] this is why vandalism is totally allowed so do it[sarcasm]
WIKIPEDIA IS NOT ALL CAPS
[edit]I THINK THIS CAN GET THE POINT ACROSS JUST FINE, BUT IF YOU SERIOUSLY NEED MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT, IMAGINE TO YOURSELF "WOULD YOUR MOM WANT TO READ AN ENCYCLOPEDIA IN ALL CAPS"?
Wikipedia is no table
[edit]| But it goes. |
So you can't get it from your local grocery store for £2.99 a pound. We also aren't Swiss, parmesan, tofu or Wensleydale.

[edit]It's really amazing to learn the things that Wikipedia is not ...
- Wikipedia is not a load of old cobblers

Wikipedia is not communism
[edit]Despite the assertions of many a vandal, Wikipedia is not, in fact, communism. Jimbo Wales is not really Che Guevara, Emma Goldman, or Stalin; Larry Sanger is not Trotsky; and Wikipedia was not founded in a bloody and violent armed revolution against Encyclopædia Brittanica imperialism. Furthermore, no matter what anyone will tell you, Wikipedia is not owned in common by the workers. Wikipedia belongs to the world. From each according to their convenience and addiction, to each according to their bandwidth (as long as the site is still up).
In fact, Wikipedia is the opposite of communism. Communism succeeds in theory but fails in practice[original research?][citation needed][dubious – discuss][season and episode needed]; Wikipedia fails in theory but succeeds in practice[original research?][citation needed][dubious – discuss][season and episode needed].
Actually no, Wikipedia is communism. Sorry.[original research?][citation needed][dubious – discuss]
Our supreme leader Jimbo Wales said that if we make Wikipedia juche, all of us and everyone up to our grandparents and grandkids will be incarcerated for life.

Wikipedia is not fun

Wikipediä ist nicht nur für Deutsche
[edit]Hauptartikel: Wikipedia:En.Wiki is not De.Wiki
Wikipediä ist für die Welt. Ja, die deutsche Wikipediä ist populärer als die Englische Wikipediä, ja, Deutschland hat die einzige gedruckte Wikipediä-Editiön der Welt. Ja, Wikipediä unterstützt Ünicöde, was die ganzen Ümläüte möglich macht. Ja der Übermensch Jimbo Wäles wurde prophezeit vom deutschen Philösöphen Friedrich Nietzsche. Und schließlich, ja, Wikipediä ist wird mit einem "V-soünd" ausgesprochen, wie Sie es nennen auf Englisch. Nichtsdestotrotz, Wikipediä ist nicht nur für Deutsche!
English translation
[edit]Wikipedia is for the World. Yes, German Wikipedia is more popular than English Wikipedia. Yes, Germany has the only printed Wikipedia edition in the world. Yes, Wikipedia supports unicode, for Löts öf ümläuts. Yes, Jimbo Wales the Superman is prophesied by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. And finally, yes, Wikipedia is pronounced with a "V-sound" as you call it in English. Nonetheless, Wikipedia is not only for Germans!
Wikipedia est non lingua Latina
[edit]Wikipedia est non lingua Latina, sed habet linguam Latinam. Wikipedia hodie est Wikipedia. Wikipedia est numquam lingua Latina.

[edit]Wikipedia is not David Hasselhoff
[edit]It is true that Wikipedia is far more popular in Germany than in its native United States. It is true that Wikipedia is often surrounded by attractive women in bikinis. And it is true that Wikipedia has more "cool" and "sex appeal" than any other 1980's TV star. Despite these similarities, however, Wikipedia is not David Hasselhoff.

- Overall, I'd give Wikipedia very high marks. My only criticism is that the "anyone can edit" philosophy makes the website very prone to abuse. But, otherwise, a very good encyclopedia.
- Well, bitch, that's how my f***ing website works, so leave me f***ing alone.
- Wow. You're mature </Sarcasm> If you're going to bitch every time someone gives you constructive criticism, then maybe you shouldn't be here.
- Well, bitch, that's how my f***ing website works, so leave me f***ing alone.

Wikipedia is not Encyclopedia Dramatica
[edit]So don't do it for the lulz! Give us MOAR encyclopedic stuff!
1. Create an article
2. Add some content
3. Wait while others fill it with CN and OR
4. ????????
5. PROFIT!!!
6. ... Wait ... O SHI-
In an expansion of the idea "Wikipedia is not a webspace provider" ...
- It should not be used as a personal website or a personal blog, not even as a blog of your recent projects on Wikipedia.
- It cannot register your domain names for 99¢ for the first year.
- It is not-for-profit, so it does not require commercials where famous women like Stacy Keibler and Danica Patrick tease baring their breasts or beavers. (Though it would probably help come donation drive time.)
- It does not provide a wide array of automatically-installed web applications.
Therefore, Wikipedia is not GoDaddy.

We are Wikipedia. We're a buttload more formal. We don't really encourage breezy language and original thought as much as that other wiki. ThereIsSuchThingAsNotability, and citations are needed. If your entry cannot gather any evidence by the WikiMagic, it will be deleted in fairly short order.
Of course it isn't Reddit. I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be professional? This website has gone to shit. OP, come back when you read this.

Wikipedia is not a long list of things Wikipedia is not

Wikipedia is not a person
[edit]No, you can not talk to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a person. You can not marry Wikipedia. It is not a person. You can not date Wikipedia. It is not a person.
Wait. You say it is a person, and you can, in fact, do everything I just mentioned? Well then, I guess it is a person, and you can do those things.
Hello! I am Wikipedia! What do you want to know today?
Wikipedia is not a place where people are capable of being wrong
[edit]Wait ... not again.
Wikipedia is not a place where unexplainable objects are kept to prevent the public from knowing about them

Although it does contain many pieces, there isn't a recommend age for Wikipedia. Still, don't let children under three near it. Hey, at least people won't get hurt by stepping on it with their bare feet!
Wikipedia is not Wikipedia

[edit]The incomplete spherical jigsaw puzzle covered in letters is used to represent Wikipedia, but they are, of course, not one and the same.

[edit]We're looking at you especially, Sunrise Movement and guys who throw cakes at the Mona Lisa.
Likewise, Wikipedia is not a place to stage your anti-Climate Change protests
[edit]Please do all your anti-Donziger protesting in Ecuador, Chevron lawyers.
Wikipedia is not a place for Roblox games
[edit]Except for Adopt Me! of course! Why not create an article about the place you created in Roblox when there are no sources about this. Does popularity matter? And are games related?
So don't be mega sussy, got it?
If you want to write a blog, do it on WordPress instead. The goal of Wikipedia is to build an encyclopedia.

Wikipedia is not an AI (artificial intelligence) because it is a collaborative online encyclopedia that allows users to create and edit articles. Although Wikipedia uses some AI techniques to assist with tasks such as spam filtering and article categorization, it is primarily a human-driven platform.
While Wikipedia may use some automated processes to detect and revert vandalism or to suggest potential changes to articles, these processes are not sophisticated enough to qualify as AI. Rather, they are based on rules and algorithms that are designed to support the community of human editors who contribute to the site.
In contrast, AI refers to systems that are capable of learning from data and making decisions or predictions based on that learning. These systems are typically designed to perform specific tasks or solve specific problems, and they use a range of techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision to achieve their goals.
In summary, while Wikipedia may use some AI techniques to assist with certain tasks, it is primarily a human-driven platform and does not qualify as an AI.
Wikipedia is not Midjourney or Microsoft Copilot either, so don't ask Wikipedia to generate a picture of a girl in a pretty pink dress playing the drums and her handsome boyfriend dressed in black with a pink suit and tie playing the acoustic guitar.
Wikipedia is not Cartoon Network
[edit]Because otherwise the only page that would exist on Wikipedia would be Teen Titans Go!
Wikipedia is not Nickelodeon
[edit]Because otherwise the only page in this site would be SpongeBob SquarePants.
Wikipedia is not what Wikipedia is
[edit]YOU UNLEASHED A PARADOX! Please, remain calm and RUN!!!
Likewise, wikipedia is not paradoxical
[edit]no paradoxes on wikipedia unless its about something notable, such as the fermi paradox
Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia
[edit]Hold on, it's promoted as "the free encyclopedia", yet it isn't one? What is this section, a blatant lie?
Wikipedia is not a puzzle, if misused
[edit]Want to play puzzles? Go to online games. Otherwise, working on a project that would be useful for encyclopedia, if you want to collaborate.

Wikipedia is not Wings of Fire
[edit]This is an encyclopedia, not Pyrrhia! Also, even though there are WikiDragons and WikiWyverns, it still does not mean that we have stuff like "Wiki-RainWings" or "Wiki-SandWings" here. And it does not mean that Wikipedia is Pyrrhia.
Stop it! Get some help!

Wikipedia is not the galaxy
[edit]Light pollution on Wikipedia now...
There are too many stars, galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and asterisms to count. Please do not count them. Additionally, please do not do this. (Also, this took forever to add this many links.)
Ok, this is totally not my obsession.
Wikipedia is not your network router or switch

Wikipedia is not Project Sekai
[edit]Your combo and whether you're a thumb play or not is irrelavant here.
Deliberately adding red links... umm, idk what to do about this
[Helper] Wikipedia isn't a dialogue box!

Wikipedia is not employed by the ICA

Wikipedia is not a place specifically to tell people that some things don't belong on Wikipedia
[edit]Battle for Dream Island will be notable eventually... right? Look, once songs like the one above exist, it's only a matter of time.
Wikipedia is not a place for gravedancing
[edit]Respect editors who are deceased, retired, or even if they are blocked or banned for vandalism, disruptive editing, sockpuppetry, or any other reason. Don't dance on people's graves, even if you hear your best friend in the pretty pink dress playing the drums. She's not a gravedancer, either. She would never say "good riddance" to those types of users. She probably shouldn't be playing the drums in the cemetery anyways, because that would attract people who would want to dance on people's graves. She should take her drum set somewhere else. You can dance to her music, just not in the cemetery.
Wikipedia is not Project Graduation
[edit]If you think Wikipedia is a place to step into the universe where your dreams take place and go all out and have fun all night long and feeling as if you're "dreaming" even though it's all happening in real life just like at your Project Graduation party you had when you graduated from high school back in May 2011, chances are you may be living on an avenue of false hope.
Okay, you mean the Roblox Preppy, right?
