CWCki Improvements

[Mr. 0]

I agree that some of the content is A-Loggy and unfunny but I generally think if you're going to say 'be funnier' or 'write better' you need to either provide an example or give actual pointers on what can be improved and how otherwise it's just unhelpful bitching. I'm not pointing the finger at you specifically, yours just happened to be the post I was replying to. The A-logging thing is fairly specific, because it's clear what you mean., that comments that are unnecessarily hateful or profane should be removed from the articles.

Just my two cents.

Well as far as "writing better" or "sounding funnier", it is, as you know, entirely subjective, but I suppose what I intended to mean was written in a way that everyone would collectively agree was grammatically correct and referential to the source (like for example, Chris's antics that particular instance) while still able to make a relevant or semi-relevant (and not humorless) joke to add a bit of flavor, if you will, without out right insulting him.

are we archiving the q&a's from his ebay sales?

 

[sparklemilhouse]

^ Archive everything! Always always always.

 

[Pikonic]

yeah i agree with the q&a archiving. It is content and some of it is funny

 

[José Mourinho]

Just archive the Q&As. I find them important.

here's what i got @Alan Pardew

Wow. The Forums seems to have gotten a new paint job and extra bells and whistles.

The Spanish article has the section "Why Spanish speakers hate Chris" in it. I think this section could be edited to be less A-loggy.

I removed some of the nit-picky stuff.

I've found that one of the biggest culprits of A-Logging on the CWCki is kind of sneaky and harder to spot: silly piping that leads to the more insulting parts of the CWCki like "Pedofork" and "Rape."

The cwcki doesn't need to be 100% serious. It's supposed to be funny. No one wants to read a 100% serious wiki on an idiot who shits his pants.

on the contrary nobody wants to hear some sperg's standup routine about a man who shits his pants. the things described should be funny on their own. personal touches to a wiki detract from what should be an absurd and humorous thing independent of commentary.

there's a reason why ED isn't popular anymore, and it's because it lost what made it entertaining.

You already made this post in this thread and then there was a discussion following it between other people where they hashed it out. But, if TL;DR, here's what I said before that:

Really my idea for de-A-Logging the CWCki was to remove the extreme stuff, like out-of-place suggestions that Chris is a rapist, a sociopath, stuff like that.

The sweet spot is funny but not tryhard.

I'm working on tidying up some of the articles. Mostly correcting typos, grammar, decreasing repetitive words and phrases (like making sure every sentence in a character's bio page doesn't start with "one day"), and generally making pages more appealing to the reader. Working on the character articles at the moment. This is my first time editing the wiki, so feedback is appreciated.

UPDATE: Just finished up Sonichu's character page. Considering beefing up the 'Sonichu as a Mary Sue' section, since it seems pretty lacking.

 

[Pikonic]

Good job on the "weening" page.
Maybe that page, along with ALogging, should be somewhere on the "New to the CWCki" box on the from page.

Seriously, the fuck is this? It's just a list of some trolls, with only passing mention of the actual CWCism. I think the entire "Variations" heading could and should be condensed into a paragraph at the beginning. Incidentally, does that game linked at the bottom still exist anywhere?

It's a joke page started by Champthom just for fun. Don't know whether it's worth keeping it now. And yeah, the game linked at the bottom is gone.

Damn. That game was funny. Maybe there's a copy of it on the Web somewhere? Maybe at the site it was hosted?
