Slashdot on Wikipedia Deletionism

The Totally Obvious Wikipedia Heresy mentioned here.

If ever there was an article that need to be posted on wikitruth.info, it is this one.

On Cartoons of the Obvious

Faithful martyrs of the al-Totally Obvious Martyrs' Brigade will avenge with blood and mob action against American fast-food chains anyone who prints or reprints cartoons depicting the obvious. We are in the process of drawing up a fatwah against Tom Wilson.

Fatwabvious Statement Urging Mischevious Edits Against Wiki Deletionists

Praise be to the Totally Obvious, which reveals the Blog, controls the obvious, clarifies the not-so-obvious, and declares quite obviously, "if you try to supress the obvious, you'll only make it more obvious." Peace be upon Doalch, who said "And what if your mother had said, 'come back Peter when you are bigger,' until then I cannot accept you?"

The Totally Obvious has never--since stan based it on a concept by AA Shirinyan, created its blog, and stated it obviously and forthrightly--been stormed by any forces like the deletionist jackasses now monitoring its Wikipedia entry like a co-op board, deleting its article, and undoing its namespace.

All this is happening at a time when the Totally Obvious is growing like a pimple on a nose, standing out like a nose on a face, and facing the music like Phil Specter in a courtroom. In the light of this obvious situation and the lack of support, we and you are obliged to defend what is totally obvious, discuss votes for deletion, and struggle to make more obvious that which can be no more obvious.

All this censorship and deletion committed by the deletionists are a clear declaration of war on the Totally Obvious, its contributors, and its readers and commentators everywhere.

On that basis, and in compliance with all that is obvious, we issue the following fatwabvious statement to all admirers and followers of the obvious:

The ruling to edit and vex Woohookitty and EdwinHJ and their allies -- civilians and Wikipedians -- is an individual duty for everyone who respects and experiences the obvious in any country in which it is possible to do so, in order to liberate the Totally Obvious namespace from their censorship, and in order for their petty objections to be voted out of all the pages of Wikipedia, defeated and unable to threaten any viable piece of knowledge, howsoever obvious or obscure. This is in accordance with the words of A New Poete, "It exists. And if you try to kill it, you'll only make it more obvious."

The Future

All non-obvious things shall dissolve and cease to be in the golden and undifferentiated light of the Totally Obvious! The days of complexity are numbered! We shall chop off complexity until only obviousness if left, like a gorgeous mass of undifferentiated tissue! Even my beautiful vocabulary will become simpler and simpler, until I speak with the obviousness of a little child!
My eyes fill with tears at the glory of the Totally Obvious!!

Fundamental Concept

Totally Obvious is totally obvious, the one, the self-sufficient obvious. Never begot, never begotten, there is none more obvious than the Totally Obvious.
