Hey Folks!

I'm TheKaplan.

My userpage got increasingly out of date, with both my philosophy, interests, and activites changing over time. The old userpage can still be found here in it's entirety, but it is not representative of me.

At the moment I'm trying to involve myself more in history articles than contentious political ones.

You know you need to take a break from wikipedia when...

edit

The other day I got into a bit of an argument with someone out in the real world. I started to tell them that they were going to be blocked for violating WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. It was nagging at me that something wasn't quite right but I couldn't figure out what. I realized about halfway through the second sentence. It came out something like this: "You cannot talk anymore. You are in violation of...uh...the rules of the house. Nevermind." TheKaplan


have a story of your own? add it here! (maybe we can eventually make a whole subpage)


Humor on wikipedia

edit

I actually think the funniest part of the humor section of the WP universe is the humor tag itself (example[1]). I can just imagine, in my best robot voice:

/Initializing search...
/Scanning...
-Page located
/Analyzing...
/Detecting humour
/Evaluating comedic value...
-Comedic value confirmed
/Tagging...
-Tagging complete
