Wikipedia is the absolute worst reference for anything, ponies included.

I'm a retard for not linking the actual article

>>42254920
Yes, because they're copying the homework of the professional liars that have been writing hitpieces on us since before Moot left.

>>42254920
No, nothing on WP is because it all follows an agenda.

I think MLP might have the most cartoon characters on Wikipedia, it has like 21 characters total right now. It has more characters than South Park, which has like 14 or something.

>>42256014
That same image is on the cutie mark article too

>>42256021
The Simpsons has more

>>42256025
Ok fair, excluding Simpsons though probably MLP still has the most?

A couple of months ago someone posted about the fanfiction page specifically:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic_fan_fiction
I hadn't remembered seeing that page ever before, which made sense after I checked the page's history. It was only two weeks old at that time.
The point is, there was one specific user who was going on an editing STORM. This dude has done quite a bit since the start of April.

Boston University considers Background Pony as comparable literature to Dune. Kek, Lyrafags win again. Joking aside though, that list of notable fanfics is painful, no My Little Dashie, no Anthropology, no University Days, no Keepers of Discord / Best Night Ever / Enchanted Library
>>42254903
I love it. Shame that the 2020 BLM stuff didn't go into Marenheit 451

>>42256030
Reminds me of the guy who recently started adding MLP articles to TARDIS Wiki.
A pony appeared in the background of an episode? It gets an article.
The main MLP article there goes into way too much autistic detail to the point you wonder what the fuck does any of this have to do with Doctor Who.

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, even (You). You just need a reliable source that mentions it then you can add it.

>>42256051
Fair point. I'll give it a go later

>>42256030
>every episode of season 1 has an article now

>>42256028
Simpsons has 35 character articles.
FIM alone has 21
South Park has 15
Family Guy has 10
SpongeBob has 9
Powerpuff Girls has 2
Fairly OddParents has 0

>devoting a page to a woke nu-PPG character over the primary three
Total Wikipedia Death

>>42256359
You do know anyone can be a Wikipedia editor, right? I have no doubt the two are notable enough for Wikipedia, it just takes someone to take up the mantle and actually write an article. It has nothing to do with agenda, just that there's more easily usable information from reliable sources on those two characters, which is why they were created first.

>>42256362
>You do know anyone can be a Wikipedia editor, right?
That's what they want you to believe.

In reality, it is run by a small cabal of people with the same interests.

>>42256365
I'm a Wikipedia editor lol and I've created plenty of articles without getting nuked because I don't fucking cite shit like Reddit or Twitter.

>>42256369
I'm not interested in discussing this, since you're obviously invested.

"Reliable sources" (i.e. "it's good as long as the site follows our agenda") is the main cancerous reason they use to enforce their ideology.

>>42254888 (OP)
I love how most days the "did you know" section on Wikipedia is filled with random "fun" facts that nobody gives a fuck about
>did you know that richard l. morrill was the highest-paid private-school president in VA
literally who? wholly uninteresting
>blu fiefer
also literally fucking who
>>bonkbuster
???

>>42256374
That's because the DYK section is taken from articles that were most recently created, not random facts that Wikipedia editors hand-chose

>>42254895
>LGBTQ
>cutiemarks of a straight ship
what did they mean by this

>>42254903
this article basically wasnt a thing until around 2 months ago, and it mustve been written by someone on this very board. it could be you, it could be me! it could even be-

>>42255991
>african-coded
LMAOOOOOO

>>42256411
They are though, aren't they?

>>42256377
huh, I had no idea, though from a glance at a few of these articles' history tabs shows it's less recently created and more recently updated and overhauled with lots of new info

>>42256416
Yeah I think it includes newly created articles, newly revamped articles, and articles that were promoted to "Good" or "Featured" status

>>42256369
Presumably you only edit articles relating to pop culture. Try editing any history or politics related article and see how well that goes for you.

>>42256506
So then don't?

>>42256014
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Own Work

>>42256397
I don't think they even know themselves.

>>42256533
I don't. I used to but I've realised that it's pointless even being a Wikipedia editor if you're not a hyperautistic shut-in.
Every article on the British Empire is controlled by an ESL literal communist who has used multiple sockpuppets to evade blocks, and no one cares enough to stop him anymore, which is why articles like the Malayan Emergency one have large sections sourced to communist newspapers like the Daily Worker with known forged images.
As the other anon said, Wikipedia policy and "reliable sources" don't even matter anyway. Many experienced editors will often just cite WP:BOLD or WP:IGNORE to justify fragrantly disregarding policy, and will get anyone who reverts their changes back blocked.
Larry Sanger was right.

>>42256549
You don't deserve knowledge if you don't want to read a book about it.

>>42256601
Then why are you editing an online encyclopedia?

>>42256606
Uh, besides the MLP fandom wiki I haven't edited any other online encyclopedia.

>>42256612
>Fandom
Blegh. Why hasn't any turboautist from this board made his own FiM wiki?

>>42256634
There's equestripedia but it's very barebones

>>42256683
Jeez you weren't kidding. Even the main six articles are three paragraphs long.
Hopefully the fandom wiki forks at some point.

>>42256030
This guy just keeps going.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slang_of_the_My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic_fandom

>>42256082
I remember when it was nearly impossible to keep MLP episode articles from getting deleted on Wikipedia. I dare this guy to add a screenshot image to every episode with an article.

>ponybeat
>it's just ponyfied eurobeat

>dubtrot
>it's ponyfied dubstep without the dub

>>42254888 (OP)
>dubtrot
I have NEVER heard this term before.

>>42257722
I haven't heard it since 2013. And ponybeat I've only ever heard in relation to Super Ponybeat.

>>42257702
Isn't it spelled "ponified"?

>>42256170
>>42256201
That says it's by yokku11nyan. It was this picture. You can see it on the Internet Archive.

>>42256043
Tardis Wiki is a goldmine
https://tardis.wiki/wiki/Talk:Penis

>>42257764
They're literally just ponified versions of dubstep and eurobeat. Not actually genres upon themselves.

>>42258031
There was another one

>>42257696
>I dare this guy to add a screenshot image to every episode with an article.
Every season 1 episode has a screenshot already, do you mean the other episodes?

>>42257696
>I remember when it was nearly impossible to keep MLP episode articles from getting deleted on Wikipedia.
It's because people back then weren't defending MLP articles from deletion in the correct way, using reliable sources. People are still trying to get the MLP articles deleted (someone nominated the CMC article for deletion just last week), it's just that the guy is playing by Wikipedia's rules perfectly and defending them from getting deleted.

>>42258303
>screenshot
>128x128 px thumbnail

>>42258327
You don't know how Wikipedia works, then. You can't put high resolution screenshots of copyrighted material because it goes against the non-free content criteria. A bot comes around and resizes the images for every single television episode screenshot, not just MLP.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content

>>42258333
I know how it works just fine. It's still retarded. NO site on the internet needs to follow this rule, just Wikitards think they need to.

>>42258338
Yes they technically do lol it's just that Wikipedia is one of the most viewed websites in the world so they're more prone to getting their shit sued, no company's gonna care about a tv's wikia

>>42258340
The resolution they use is still too small. It's retarded to resize originally 1920x1080 HD material to the size of a stamp. Just don't put in any images then, they don't serve any purpose.

>>42258345
The images look just fine for me, skill issue tbqh

>>42258347
Whatever you say. Like I said before, you're obviously invested, so you'll find anything acceptable.

>>42258350
Maybe, but you are severely autistic, so you'll find nothing acceptable. Different sides of the same coin.

>>42258345
Who cares
You're not going to Wikipedia to watch full episodes

>>42258390
This, Wikipedia is meant to see what people outside the FIM universe say about the episode, if you want in-universe trivia or fandom opinions then that's not what the point of Wikipedia is

>the point of Wikipedia
Leftist indoctrination?

>>42258390
>You're not going to Wikipedia to watch full episodes
Unless it's something in the public domain, in which case feel free to put the entire fucking thing on the article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Does_Dallas

>>42258405
Okay? But MLP isn't in the public domain, so who cares?

>>42258407
I know, I just think it's funny there's an entire 84 minute porn film on Wikipedia like it's nothing.

>>42257722
>>42257764
bronies clinging to any form of relevance they can muster. we're hip! we're relevant! what do you mean everyone moved on? we're busting gender conventions or whatever else it is we convinced ourselves of!

>>42258428
The hell? I never knew the "X does X" comes from actual porn. I mean, it obviously sounds like it, but it's referenced in fucking children's entertainment.

>>42258967
anon, the concept of 'does' is not a porn thing. 'does' means the act of causing something to happen, by taking action. if your coworker talks about 'doing Vegas' then they'd of course mean an enjoyable trip where they gambled, enjoyed nightclubs and fancy restaurants. 'Riverside Elementary School Does Christmas!!' on a banner would perhaps refer to the school board doing a festively-themed bake sale to raise funding for sports equipment, or something along those lines. you get the picture.

>>42259061
I obviously mean the "<name> does <city>" format. Was that a common thing to say before 1978?

>>42259069
Look. You or I would say Anon Does Vegas to refer to a wooo what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas lol! kind of trip. It follows that Debbie Does Dallas is a tongue-in-cheek riff on that kind of saying, by implying a different meaning of 'does'.

What you're suggesting, though, is along the lines of 'were the Super Hornio Brothers popular in the 80s or something??'.

>>42259077
>You or I would say Anon Does Vegas to refer to a wooo what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas lol! kind of trip.
Okay, so I'm right then? It sounds like the "Grannies gone wild" episode. Nobody calls it that without knowing what it refers to. They're just being deliberately obtuse.

>>42259089
>Nobody calls it that without knowing what it refers to.
that seems like a 'you' thing, not an 'everyone else' thing

>>42259100
The very first time I heard "<name> does <city>" I thought "The hell? That sounds like something from a porn movie. Oh, is this just an American thing and they don't actually mean anything with it?" It was baffling because I kept seeing it in completely normal "safe" entertainment and media. It's ridiculous to me that porn is so ingrained in American culture it has entered the common vernacular.

>>42257886
verPONEt

>>42258303
That's what I meant, yeah. If he's going all out on MLP stuff for Wikipedia, he should try adding a screenshot to every episode article. That was tried a few years ago, but some of the images got deleted because they weren't deemed necessary.
