'''Wikipedia''' ("the '[[Slavery|free]]' encyclopedia") is a satirical online encyclopedia that [[Parody|parodies]] [[Uncyclopedia]]. It uses lots of [[parodymium]] when parodying. It was founded in 2001, when it began its noble goal of spreading the world's misinformation in the most inconspicuous way possible. Academic experts claim this is the reason they strongly urge students not to cite Wikipedia. The real reason, obviously, is that they fear the [[The Terminator|Internet will take over the world]], and they still believe [[Library|libraries]] are relevant.<ref>{{W|Wikipedia}}</ref> Originally written exclusively in Klingon, the project currently spans all the known languages of history, thanks in part to contributions by [[C-3PO]].<ref>English ''and'' Spanish</ref> The English version has more than forty million pages, most of them capitalization redirects.

Pariodes Uncyclomedia projects like Unnews, replacing "Un" or "Uncyclo" to Wiki, creating a dozen Wikimedia projects like Wikinews.

Only one vehicle for article humor is employed at Wikipedia: actual information. However, much of the behind-the-scenes aspects of Uncyclopedia are also parodied, from the abundance of maintenance templates to the system for rating articles. Like Uncyclopedia, Wikipedia has guidelines regarding what is and is not acceptable content, and these guidelines have become exceedingly long and complex as a parody of Uncyclopedia's comparatively simple rules. The site has gained [[Attention whore|media attention]] due to its articles on {{W|New York City|place}}s, {{W|Tom Cruise|people}}, and {{W|List of Legends of the Hidden Temple episodes|painfully obscure pop culture}}.

Wikipedia's name is a [[Gibberish|portmanteau]] of the words ''wiki'' – a technology for stealing content from other websites, from the Hawaiian word ''wiki'' ("[[Sporkism|thief]]") – and ''pedia'' ("[[child]]ren"); literally stealing content for perverting children's brains.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:History_of_Wikipedia_bots&oldid=291860188 The filthy thieves behind Wikipedia]</ref> Its logo is a spherical magical puzzle globe, named [[Merlin]] after the loyal wizard of King Arthur's court, which serves as a spoof of Uncyclopedia's hollow potato logo.

==History==
[[File:Nupedia.png|thumb|left|200px|The name "[[Nude|nu]][[pedia]]" clearly shows a connection with Jimbo's earlier project [//images.uncyclomedia.co/uncyclopedia/en/9/94/Jimbo-bikini-babes.jpg bomis.com].]]
{{Conservapedia}}

Wikipedia traces its origins to 2001, when a pair of bored computer geeks, [[Jimbo Wales]] and [[Larry Sanger]], decided the same principles that made things like the graffiti on bathroom stalls great could also be applied to internet encyclopedias.<ref>A popular misconception is that the idea for Wikipedia came after reading the "[[TFAODP|True Facts and other Deleted Prose]]" section of Uncyclopedia.</ref> Armed with a pretentious sense of self-righteousness and a can-do attitude, the two bright-eyed youngsters [[Ye Olde Webbe Desyne Shoppe|created their website]], named "nupedia.com". Naturally, this venture was a [[EPIC FAIL!|spectacular fail]]ure. Instead of learning from their mistake, though, Wales and Sanger decided to go the AIG route, and rename their idea while making no real changes to it.

So, they discarded the idea of "Nupedia" and switched to "Wikipedia", which had four letters before the pedia instead of two, and was therefore twice as good an idea. As time progressed, Wikipedia began to draw lots of attention: from internet nerds to computer geeks to technology lovers to sedentary basement-dwelling web-surfers, the whole world was talking about Wikipedia.
[[File:Lolwikipediasux.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Banzaikitten vandalizing Wikipedia. Good boy!]]

However, Wikipedia still had to find a way to make [[money]]. Although Wales and Sanger toyed with the idea of setting up a small [[porn]] server in a subdomain, they eventually decided nobody really wanted to see them naked, and settled on switching to a .org domain. They hoped they could con enough people into giving them money to pay for their bandwidth usage, and quickly coded a button that read "click [[Do NOT click any links!|here]] to donate to relief funds for the [[Rwanda]] genocide". A few thousand gullible PayPal users later, and Wikipedia had all the money they would ever need.

Seeing that this method showed promising results, the Financial Department of Wikipedia decided to make an even greater fund raising event, which attracted more people. Vandals, not wanting their work to become inaccessible, contributed more than the average writer. Worshippers of Mr. Wales had their part too, using their secret Swiss account so that the sum of all human knowledge would remain in safe hands.

By 2007, Wikipedia had become one of the top ten ''Web 2.0'' websites, and today it has more than five million articles, mostly about [[band]]s no one has ever heard of, one-time [[Naruto]] characters, and rare diseases mentioned in passing on ''[[House M.D.|House]]''.<ref>It's rarely, if ever, Lupus.</ref>

In 2017, [[Wikipatreon]] started.

==Content==
[[File:Size of English Wikipedia broken down.png|thumb|260px|The distribution of "content" on Wikipedia. Note the generic "everyman" to the left.]]

Yes, Wikipedia ''is'' quite content with itself. Thanks for asking!

Not really a surprise, since it is ''the'' largest of all Wikimedia-operated wikis. It also has the most active users of any wiki since its very beginning, with currently over 200,000 more users than Uncyclopedia.<ref>Granted, most of said users are nothing more than [[HowTo:Survive a Robot Uprising|bots]], [[troll]]s, [[Politician|people with an agenda to push]], or the [[CIA]].</ref>

===Articles===
[[File:Dog.JPG|thumb|left|An example of one of the rare non-manipulated photos found on Wikipedia]]
[[File:Wikipedia's page on themselves.png|thumb|left|Wikipedia's page on themselves]]
{{Nicequote|Isn't it annoying how Wikipedia always copies your homework?|a school kid|Wikipedia}}

Wikipedia currently contains three billion articles; ninety percent of them are either vanity, vandalism, capitalization redirects, [[WP:Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive904#Dozens,Thousands upon thousands of unnecessary redirects|redirects about boobs and profanities]] and conspiracy theories, cabal propaganda, lists of [[profanity|profanities]] in different languages, [[video game]]s, video game sequels, video game tips and walkthroughs or a combination of two or more. Nine percent are random facts about Tamil People, and the other one percent are ''cited lies'', or ''wikifacts'' as they are officially known to Wikipedians.

Normal article layout is very similar to that found on Uncyclopedia with images aligned mostly to the right. Wikipedia maintains a strict minimum requirement for images in their articles. If an editor is unable to find enough appropriate images he is required to create enough to fill the quota or his article will be deleted.

===Review process===
Wikipedia's success in producing accurate and informative articles is largely due to its review process. Although the wiki concept encourages everyone to offer contributions, it's understood that very few people are as clever as the editors. All Wikipedia editors ask themselves the following questions when deciding whether or not to revert the edits:

*"Was it written by a friend of mine?"
*"Did they link to an article I previously wrote?"
*"Am I in a good mood?"
*"If not, is it a means of winding up someone?"

If unable to answer positively to all these questions, edits must be reverted, with smug comments posted on the talk page of the offending user. Also, if an editor dislikes another editor and the editor who is disliked edits a page and the editor who dislikes the person who edits the page, then the person's edits will be reverted even if the edits are good edits.

==Criticism==
===V&alism===
[[File:Wikipediaphysics.png|thumb|right|400px|A typical Wikipedia article]]

Wikipedia, due to its popularity<sup><span style="font-size:12px">'''[[O RLY?]]'''</span></sup>, has been a subject of persistent [[Moron section|vandalism.]] Critics '''[[I maed a yuky doody|POOOOOOOP]] LOLOLOLOLOL''' have charged that this makes Wikipedia an unreliable source '''[[Mr winkler is GAY|OMGIHATE MY TEACHER HE IS STUPID IM GONNA KILL HIM]]''' for information after taking a shit. In responding to this, Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales said,kiujhy7gtfrijuhygfc
"This is a persistent issue<br>
'''{{Q|IM GHEY AND I LUV TO KISS MY OWN BUTT.|Jimbo Wales}}'''

, and we are working our '''PEEENISSS''' shafts to stop [[Edgar van Dali|potential vandal]]s before they reach the site '''I LUV TO FUCK MY MOM'''<sup><span style="font-size:12px">'''[[Truth|UR MOM GAY]]'''</span></sup>
'''[[Penispenispenis|PENIS!!!!!!!!!!!11111111onetwo]]'''
There have been efforts within the Wikipedia important community to improve the [[Bullshit|reliability of Wikipedia]]. The English-language Wikipedia has introduced an assessment '''(HAHA, ASS)''' scale against which the '''SHITBITCH''' quality of how'''ank Sara Johnson's ass''' is judged '''GO SMH COUGARS!!!''' , other editions have also adopted this. Roughly 2000 '''ELECTION WAS RIGGED''' articles in English have passed a rigorous set of criteria to reach the highest FUCk, "[[Uncyclopedia:Best of|featured article]]" status; such articles are intended to provide '''KATIE IS SEXXXXXXXXXXXYYYYYYYY''' thorough, well-written coverage of '''MAH BALLS''' their topic, supported by many references to '''Chuck Norris'''-reviewed publications. In order to improve reliability, some editors have called for "stable versions" of articles, or articles that have been reviewed by the '''mostly [[Hyperdrinking|drunk]] and naked''' community and locked from further editing – but the community has been unable to form a GIANT PENIS DRILL
[[File:Wikipedia Vandalism2.JPG|left|150px|LOLFAG!!!!!!!!!]]

'''OMG BUTT FART LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL BUTTTTT'''
consensus in favor of such changes, partly because they would require a major software overhaul, and '''partly because [[Russians|Wikipedia editors]] couldn't find there asses with both hands and Google maps''. A similar '''''<nowiki/>''Brainewashing'<nowiki/>'' system is being tested on the German '''NAZI'''pedia, '''UR ALL TARTS XD LULZ!''' and there is an expectation that some form of that system will make its way onto the English version at some future point. Software created by Luca de Alfaro '''FUCK HIM''' and colleagues at the [[University of California|University of California, Santa Cruz]] is now being tested that will assign "trust ratings" to individual Wikipedia contributors, with the [[Censorship|intent]]ion that eventually only edits made by those who have established themselves as'''s''' <s>"trusted editors"</s> '''COMMIE FASCISTS''' will be made immediately visible. '''Many people think it is van<u>a</u>dalized so often due to the obvious fact that it is written by pricks, for [[prick]]s'''

In fact, Chinese people have found evidence that Wikipedia is copied from Uncyclopedia. Don't believe me? Search it up for yourself!

===Why vandalism on Wikipedia is good===
Take a look at this unblock request:

|}
{{-}}

===Reliability===
Wikipedia has been known to be ''very'' [[Lie|reliable]], with random facts about sex, cities and [[WP:Toilet paper orientation|sexual orientation]]s strewn about everywhere.{{Citation needed}} And of course, people who copy-paste from Wikipedia's articles always get [[Epic Fail|full marks]] for their assignments. According to John Seigenthaler, Sr., an advocate for Wikipedia, Wikipedia "is great. I read the article about me, and it correctly stated that {{W|Seigenthaler incident|I was involved in the Kennedy assassin}}ation, before I even ''told'' anyone. I love you, Wikipedia!"

In the summer of 2007, Wikipedia was criticized for accurately displaying the location and planned movements of all US troops stationed in Iraq in their article on [[Aspergers|asparagus]]. Though conservative journalists such as Geraldo Rivera and Joan Rivers repeatedly edited this information out, Wikipedia editors quickly replaced it with even more detailed reports. This led to the first "revert war" in recorded history. Many online nicknames fell in the conflict, and it was finally the Supreme Court who stepped in and settled it stating "The reliability of the Wikipedia is paramount. Wikipedia is the United States' best source of [[Porn|information]] and we can't let fear hamper our quest for knowledge."<ref>Then they retired to their quarters for martinis and high colonics.</ref> The asparagus article was then summarily deleted and a small goat was sacrificed to the [[cabal]].

In cases where reality would seem to conflict with any given Wikipedia article, reality must be altered to ensure consistency. One such conflict led to the Bill of Rights being rewritten to exclude the [[Irish]].<ref>Which, frankly, was long overdue anyway.</ref> While Wikipedia claims their images to be 100% factual, the pictures are in fact [[photoshop]]ped with the purpose of [[Schizophrenia|altering the way people view reality]].

[[Conservapedia|It is also a well known, but grave fact that Wikipedia has a well known liberal bias.]] Other biases include the tendency of individuals to write only [[Generic Dog|about topics]] for which they have a strong emotional attachment or personal interest.

===Violence against YouTube===
{{Main|Wikipedia vs. the YouTubers}}

Wikipedia bought YouTube over [[Coronavirus disease 2019|COVID-19]], and changed the name to Wikitube.

==Future plans==
[[File:Notebook and pencil.jpg|thumb|left|Wikipedia's projected hardcopy design due to hit shelves in 2023 in Wikipedia's current growth rate.]]

Wikipedia has faced financial difficulties in recent years. In an effort to ride out their hardships, Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales<ref>If you speak his name enough times, he will show up on your doorstep with cookies and beer.</ref> has expressed interest in expanding Wikipedia<ref>If you say Wikipedia enough times, God kills a kitten.</ref> into other forms of media. He has shown a particular interest in portable forms of Wikipedia such as the energy saving "GreenWiki+ Nano(v2.7)" (shown at right). There have also been rumors of a straight to DVD edition of The Wikipedia Movie, but at the time of this writing, no confirmation could be obtained.{{citation needed}}

===Advertising===
While Jimmy Wales<ref>We're friends now, and friends call him Jimmy.</ref> has long maintained a firm opposition to any form of advertising on Wikipedia,<ref>Or "The Wiki" as me and Jimmy like to call it.</ref> economical difficulties are making this hardline stance difficult to maintain. While all other wikis<ref>Note the distinction between wikis and "The Wiki". It's important and Jimmy will quiz you if you ever meet him. Not that you will. You're reading Uncyclopedia and are obviously beneath his notice.</ref> except [[Uncyclopedia]] succumbed to the allure of easy money a long time ago, Jim is determined to keep Wikipedia free from advertisements of any sort for as long as Uncyclopedia and the other wikis have adverts. Although, they didn't deny the possibility of advertising themselves on their Main Page. They've also been inviting other wikis to help them to drive more traffic to their site, for example Uncyclopedia. Furthermore, Wikipedia has recently taken up a rather aggressive marketing campaign of demoting other wikis in the chance of getting more hits for itself, as seen at the top of the page. Many respond to this negatively, instead referring to supporters of the campaign as "gay", "pussies" and "complete idiots for even thinking demoting other wikis would work".

{{Conservapedia}}
{{RationalWiki}}

The poor, meme-ridden "comedy" website '''Uncyclopedia''' is the stuff of Internet legend and infamy. The site, which is thought to have originated in 1860 as an [[United States|American imperialist tool]] for global domination, is now a [[Global Village|multinational]] effort, and is [[That Gray Thing on the Back of Your Screen|view]]ed as the best of its kind by some.<ref>[[Nobody cares]] really.</ref>

Uncyclopedia specializes in [[Uncyclopedia is the worst|tedious mockery]] of [[Nobody|perceived competitor]]s and petty in-fighting, with much of the content seen as mass-produced junk. Yet, there remains a peculiar fondness for some of the articles by fanatics. This is a view that has sparked a substantial shift from the site's satirical aspirations, causing it to instead redirect its resources into pathetic [[Russian reversal (joke)|Russian reversal]]s and endless references to [[Chuck Norris (accountant)|Chuck Norris]]. This is compounded by the need for [[How To:Write An Article That Stands No Chance Of Featuring On Uncyclopedia|articles that appease]] a "softer consensus".
[[File:Redx.gif|right]]

==History==
===Ancient Uncyclopedia===
{{Main|Ancient Uncyclopedia}}
Uncyclopedia was founded by billionaire entrepreneur and media tycoon [[Oscar Wilde]] sometime in the late nineteenth century. The early Uncyclopedia was not the impressive effort it is today. It all began when Wilde would often write puerile childish jokes on scraps of paper to his male friends to encourage more "[[Gay|intimate relation]]s". The Internet was, conveniently, invented in the late 1980s and allowed Wilde to pursue the same method through technology, and thus he was able to [[Cybersex|extend his efforts]] globally.

Wilde's efforts were spotted by [[Sophia|Sophia Loren]]<ref>The human incarnation of the Gnostic deity according to [[Insane|quack]]s.</ref> whilst on vacation. After hours of debate, they decided to found an internet site that would allow for Oscar's [[Whore|whoring]] and Sophia's [[Attention Whore|showcasing of talent]] to take place in one convenient location. Thus, in 2005, a crumby website was born and a whole new [[Why?:Give Up|reason to live]] for the [[Work|unemployed]] was [[Global Village|broadcast]] to the world.
[[File:WikiMeet London - Jimbo talks.jpg|thumb|left|300px|When Jimmy Wales first met the [[Uncyclopedian]]s his {{W|Affect (psychology)|affect}} was friendly and aloof.<ref>Having extricated himself without hurting their feelings, he later commented that the delegation were "a bunch of weirdos".</ref>]]

===Wikia buyout===
[[Bond Villain|Bond villain]] stock-type [[Jimbo Wales]] bought the site from Wilde in 2005. This was done off the back of economic difficulties and bad press over Wilde's "libertine lifestyle". Wales's motivations for the purchase are not known, as he later commented that he personally disliked the fact that he owned such a "low echelon" of the [[Internet]].<ref>Jimbo has often commented to his henchmen, that Uncyclopedia was like the sole of his shoe: gathering page views for [[money]] and protecting his sweaty, corn-ridden feet.</ref>

In 2006 Wales and his [[Wikia|Wikia firm]] relinquished to a 20% stake in the site and allowed Wilde to be reinstated as CEO by the last quarter of the year. Wilde was anxious for a new investor, as he found the site a "hassle", and Uncyclopedia was sold by Wilde to News Corp. for all the money in his wallet, change from a nearby vending machine, and some pocket lint, totaling $12.50. Oscar Wilde was kept as acting CEO for publicity purposes despite managerial decisions being shifted to [[Wikia]] and News Corp. stooges.

Wilde had often commented that Uncyclopedia was never "really there" but that it "just pretended" it was on [[Blue Screen of Death|computer screen]]s. Experts agree that this [[UnBooks:The Digital Divide|ignorance of information technology]] and Web 2.0 forced Wilde to sell to News Corporation. The conglomerate had no problem with the lack of quality or worthwhile content as is apparent in the quality the articles now featured. Since then there has been an ever greater emphasis on the "sizzle" rather than the [[Penis|sausage]] of which Wilde was always so fond.

===Demerger===
::{{NQ|Can I [[kiss|lick your potato]]?|Rock-O-Jello}}
As of 2013 Uncyclopedia has demerged itself from Wikia's grasps, despite many necessary compromises. Wilde was elated by the change in power.
[[File:Uncyclbosch.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Uncyclopedia looks forward to an era of [[The Divine Comedy|fire-fueled creativity]].]]

===Future===
::{{NQ|Go eat shit fuckers!|[[Fisher Price: A Retrospective|4.252.99.182]]|Uncyclopedia's future}}
The site is something of a [[Paradise Lost]] and it is hoped that it can be restored to the glorious [[HowTo:Properly Whore Your Article|whoring effort]] Wilde envisioned while [[Hyperdrinking|pissed out of his mind]] during his studies at [[Oxford University|Oxford]]. The site has [[Goatse|expanded a great deal]], with in excess of forty thousand articles taking up server space. Some have speculated that lax attitudes have opened Uncyclopedia's future wide open to the infection of [[Uncyclopedia Vandals|vandal]]s.

It has been the case that the site will continue to function on more experimental articles involving MS Paint, sex and/or racism jokes. [[Zombie Jesus]] famously commented in 2007 about [[Uncyclopedian]]s: "How these 'special people' find the on button on their computers let alone edit the site baffles me."

Another aspect new user can partake in is "[[VFS|power hunger]]". For the comedy wiki, this remains one of the slightly more amusing things for a spectator of the site. It can be hilarious to hear the [[IRC]] discussions, or the forums where those [[Socratic Method|skilled in debate]] [[Wikipoleonic Complex|keenly hope to persuade]] the existing community that one day they will "seize control" of the impoverished site and restore order.<ref>For what [[Evil|diabolic]] reason only Sophia knows.</ref>
[[File:ChronChron.jpg|thumb|left|230px|The first ideas for Uncyclopedia were laid down by {{u|Chronarion}} in 2001. Like all geniuses his reward has been having the credit for achievements stolen by a tedious meme, ''vis-à-vis'' Oscar Wilde.]]

==Purpose==
Initially, Uncyclopedia was intended to be a parody of renowned [[Observational Comedy|comedy]] [[encyclopedia]] [[Waste|Wikipedia]]. However, due to economic and mental constraints, the site now relies and insists on trusty [[Worst 100 Uncyclopedia In-Jokes of All Time|in-jokes]] and moronic junk. This was instituted by Wikia, who have sought to compete with rival comedy Internet sites such as shock humor website [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] and the [[Money|advertising rich]] [[American|yank dumpster]] ''The Onion''. Of course, no site is really comparable to Uncyclopedia, as it occupies a very unique space on the outer rim of the internet.

For the founders of the site, the aim was to provide healthy, [[Oscar Wilde]]-nubile [[Gay|young men]] with nothing better to do than [[Making up Oscar Wilde quotes|make up quote]]s and [[I burning your dog|write]] [[Redundancy|article]]s based on the [[Bollocks|course]]s they were studying whilst at [[University]].<ref>Oscar found men of this sort "ripe for seduction and naked towel dances as well as my fart art".</ref> This has still proved to be the case though the site has pursued younger contributors to spark mo/e interest and competition. The result has been an annoying amount of "intellgentsia"<ref>This is not how you spell intelligentsia.</ref> who readily have an English textbook from [[Education|school]] to correct contributors.

The site's initial aims in 2005 included writing articles with an [[HTBFANJS|intelligent, satirical and funny intent]]. As time went on and numbers increased, a greater need for recognition and competition amongst the users was demanded. This led to the [[VFH]] page, which allowed articles to be showcased to the rest of the community on the [[Main Page|front page]]. Furthermore, due to the high amount of [[drama]] and [[bitch]]ing on [[Euroipods|discussion page]]s, a community forum was invented to allow whining and drama to proceed more smoothly.

During January 2008 a decree proposed new policies: the nomination and voting for an article's deletion on [[VFD]], the uploading terrible and/or perverted images, the creation of useless categories and pointlessly categorizing images and the egregious level of more useless and unfunny [[Templasexual|template]]s and [[quote]]s that are to be spammed onto articles.
[[File:Cool-wilde.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Uncyclopedia's founder and acting [[Chief executive officer|CEO]] [[Oscar Wilde]], seen here in 2008 on a long-term sabbatical at [[Paradise Inc.]]]]

==Characteristics==
The site was, for a time, famous for its clever articles, but the [[Drama|tedious drama]]s are also often cited as a source of amusement for [[You|editor]] and [[Adminses|admin]] alike. The bitter in-fighting has also been used to allay many a [[Virginia Tech Massacre|high school/university shooting]] as lonely young men flock to ''compete'' on humor, particularly the kind of [[humor]] they have found [[HowTo:Get Laid|girls unresponsive to]].

[[Oscar Wilde]] instituted a [[Cabal|hierarchical administration]] in the early days of Uncyclopedia to run the site without his supervision. This [[UnBooks:The Bilderberg Group|evil sect]] would allow for bickering about the site's direction to take place in a clean and [[Banana skin joke|less soil]]ed environment than the rest of the site. Entry to the so called "[[cabal]]" for users usually depends on how vocal the current active members are and whether the more moderate voices can stand the drama of yet more "queens" coming to the fore. The cabal system is widely criticized even by members themselves; an anonymous source has commented, "Once you're wedged into the cabal the only real way out is farther up it."<ref>The source was [[Hardwick Fundlebuggy's Prison Journal|liquidate]]d by the cabal as a routine precaution.</ref>

The site also has a [[Walpurgis Night|religious structure]] based on Judeo-Christian beliefs, though many [[Walpurgis Night|atavistic pagan element]]s have been introduced for disciplining the less intelligent. Good examples of these include Sophia, [[Pastafarian]]ism, Chuck Norris and Russian reversals, which engender loyalty despite whining and in-fighting. The official [[Church of Uncyclopedia]] was dissolved alongside many of the classic memes when Wilde began his [[Holiday|sabbatical]] in 2008.
