Ideas[edit]

What’s Hot[edit]

Humor![edit]

This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous.
Such material is not meant to be taken seriously.

I voted for Oshwah during the mid-term elections, and you should too! (this is probably going to get old)

Last Month In Brief[edit]

User:Sir Sputnik and User:Justlettersandnumbers both had requests for adminship and both of them were successful.

Topic Swap[edit]

TheGoodUser gives PorkchopGMX a topic about Wikipedia and PorkchopGMX talks about it, and vice versa. (Idea)

Thegooduser’s Topic (given by PorkchopGMX): (comment: can't think of a topic right now, will give one soon)

Thegooduser’s Discussion:

PorkchopGMX’s Topic (given by Thegooduser): PorkchopGMX, what do you think about paid editing?

PorkchopGMX’s Discussion: Well, paid editing is fine in some cases (like being paid to do editing about something not related to the payer), but it must be disclosed to everybody involved. Some paid editors have edited articles and the editors have conflicts of interest, and that is strongly discouraged.

Notes[edit]

TheWikiWizard has a new assistant editor, PorkchopGMX! Wikipedia:TheWikiWizard/Be bold!
