God: Valuable Wikipedian, or disruptive editor with a history of sockpuppetry? edit

Can the bible even be considered a reliable source? Until(1 == 2) 15:38, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting question. Since it's claimed to be the Word of God, I'd imagine we'd have to treat it as a self-published source. ;-) -- ChrisO 15:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning God would have to be a well-known researcher in a relevant field. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But should we block God if he edits the article on himself? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 15:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We should certainly block Jesus as a sockpuppet! -- ChrisO 15:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a sockpuppet, just another aspect of the main account. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Given the large number of Sockpuppets and aspects of the main account that are female, and the sons of God and all the various pantheons of gods and goddesses, nymphs, dryads, water sprites and kings who deified themselves, isn't there some way we could avoid the view that God is always personified as a single male deity?

Despite the illustration showing quite a crowd of gods and goddesses and angels roaming around up there in the clouds giving eachother the finger, it seems like the omnipotence is a myth because everything always gets screwed up reverted back to square 1.Rktect 20:24, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the funniest thing I've ever read. JuJube 21:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't the omnipotence thing entail admin powers? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm, good point. Maybe that would be the first ruling by the ArbCom to deomnipotence. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 16:02, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm holding out for the devs to add a "smite user" function to my editing panel. -- ChrisO 16:09, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The omniscience would mean he'd have a problem with verifiability, not truth. :-) SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only if they violate the NPOV policy, on that note, could God declare all of creation CC-SA? That would make all other media a derivative work that falls under the same license. Until(1 == 2) 15:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

God is a terrible editor and should be blocked, I've asked him for sources multiple times but he just keeps saying "but I was there, I saw it!" - he just doesn't get core policy and seem to have no willingness to learn it. He also has a tendency to make personal attacks and threaten to turn me to a pillar of salt the last time I asked him for a source - besides the Jesus meatpuppet, I think he also operates a sock account called theholyghost. --Fredrick day 16:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is all in good fun of course. But I wonder what would happen if we made the same jokes abbout Mohammed. Snakesouls 18:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

*yawn* Another thread on Jay? Will ^(talk) 16:08, 1 July 2007 (UTC

Based on this discussion and a thorough review of His contrib history, it seems that God has just about "exhausted the patience of the community". While I'm reluctant to take action against a user with such a long history, I think it's reasonable to consider an indef-block at this time. Doc Tropics 16:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If Jayjg is so biased, why does he have the mop, checkuser, and oversight privileges? And why did Jimbo directly appoint him to the Arbcom? Will ^(talk) 16:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, Doc was talking about God, not Jayjg. Though I know some people have difficulties in telling them apart... -- ChrisO 16:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd much rather consider action against God than Jay...I know which one is likelier to smite me : ) Doc Tropics 17:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow Fred, you must know a different god than I do, the one I know is really relaxed, and does not exhibit human failings like wrath. Until(1 == 2) 16:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

since there are more than 3,000 Gods worshipped by humans - I daresay that's the case. --Fredrick day 16:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey now, watch it. Remember, the Biographies of Living Deities policy applies here too. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 16:22, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to check it out but someone's been pushing to have the {{blp}} tag applied to the Talk:Jesus page. Seriously! - Alison ? 16:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we'd need a reliable source to confirm that he's still alive. Has he written anything lately, has he been on TV? -- ChrisO 16:32, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He's been talked about on TV all the time & I know one or two folks who claim to have been in contact. I don't think secondary sources will do here. My only concern is that he or his Father may try to sue the WMF for defamation or something and, given he's apparently got quite a few followers out there, that could be tragic - Alison ? 16:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alison, I initially thought you were joking there...yeeeeeeesh. Though AMiB's edit summary is about priceless here. [1] Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 16:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe you guys are already talking about banning God. You all suffer from a severe lack of WP:AGF. Personally, I think he has the best interests of Wikipedia at heart, even if his contributions in the short term are hard to appreciate. I vote for a warning as of now, with gradual short 1000 year blocks as necessary. If he doesn't improve in a few more eons, then we can raise this matter at CSN. nadav (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

People, people, really. Unlike the Koran, large chunks of the Bible are categorically not supposed to be the literal word of God, so the Bible is hardly a self-published source: hence, if and when Our Lord edits The Bible, He will not be violating WP:COI and WP:AUTO.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Durova. Don't you hope to keep Me banned. You have no idea how many potential account names I have - these are only the ones I have cared to reveal yet! And don't underestimate the number and force of my meatpuppets either (Dan. 7:10). Moreover, I can easily edit through any number of proxies in all nations of the world.

It's well documented by theological experts that Satan can only act with God's permission, so in site policy terms that makes Satan a bad hand meatpuppet of God. Good call, Chris. God will have to address this when he e-mails me. I also expect him to do something about his WP:MPOV before I'll lift the ban. He may be in charge of the universe, but until he understands that he doesn't run Wikipedia he isn't welcome here. Durova^Charge! 20:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Has anybody considered blocking the underlying IP range of 666.666.xxx.xxx/16 and 777.777.xxx.xxx/16 to prevent socks from using IP's to avoid the ban? I would reccomend a 666.xxx.xxx.xxx/8 and 777.xxx.xxx.xxx/8 but as I understand it mediawiki limits range blocks to the /16 range. Any ideas on the collateral damage for such a large range block ;). -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:10, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Collateral damage depends on how many angels can dance on the head of a pin SirFozzie 20:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If they're angels then they have serious WP:COI and we ought to discuss possible WP:MEAT.

Durova^Charge! 20:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, then there would be no technical collateral damage for such a large rangeblock and we should just block the 777.xxx.xxx.xxx/8 and 666.xxx.xxx.xxx/8 to get rid of all the bad eggs?-- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm offended at the fact that you are offended. JuJube 17:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I first posted inside a table yesterday. It was a long comment on a user's Talk page and I thought the multiple paragraphs looked messy without being unified visually by something else (a colored table cell-- I would rather have used a div colored with a CSS variable, but figuring out how to do that without disrupting monobook.js was beyond my patience at the time). I decided to use the colored cell here because I'm in a minority of like 30:1, and I didn't want the single objection in the whole thread to get lost in the sauce.... As for "Each to their own taste", sorry, but I've always found that sort of statement ("Everything is relative" is another) to be a cop-out and, really, a lie to the self. Mainly, we're not talking about, say, a taste for fish here, or asking "Stones or Beatles?". We're talking about people using other people's most sacred conceptions with contempt, as targets of derisive humor. So it's a matter of respect for others, not a matter of taste. Then there's the matter of what these mocking people may or may not bring to the table on their own-- can they offer us anything spiritually that's even close to these traditions they mock? Can they attempt to answer The Big Questions (Is there a purpose to life?, Is there life after death?, Is there an objective ethics?, etc.,.) with anything close to the power of these traditions they mock. Plainly, no. All they have on tap is rather adolescent, rather predictable sarcasms that try to tear down something they could never have built themselves. And that's about as sad as it gets, to any taste. JDG 17:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The most profound mysteries of life and death often inspire people to crack jokes. I see this in the hospital every day; at home, where Life of Brian is in heavy rotation on the DVD player; and so on. It's a fact of life. You can reasonably choose to call it disrespect, a defense mechanism, or just part of human nature. That's a matter of taste. MastCell ^Talk 17:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mast, you followin me around to make sure I'm Decorous? And, if not, you declare me a pathogen and do your thing?... Hey, I'm certainly not going to get into "the most profound mysteries of life and death"-- but I will say it's possible to be funny about these things without being offensive. Earlier generations did a fine job at it-- watch a few old Tonight Shows with Johnny Carson and you'll inevitably see priest, minister, rabbi, swami and mullah jokes that are knee-slap funny but manage to have a whole multi-ethnic audience turning to each other and laughing, not growling as the demeaning humor here would. But it's very difficult to blame you kids. I'm 45. I'd bet the median age here is something like 25. You've been bombarded with sick shit like South Park, Austin Powers, Howard Stern, etc,., etc,. from your very cradles. But yeah, my own generation paved the way with people who got off on crossing the line: Monty Python, George Carlin, Richard Pryor etc.,. You can see the difference between decent, upright yet wildly funny people like Bill Cosby and indecent, lowdown and much less funny people like Carlin. For some reason the Carlin/Pryor/Python tradition took hold among you kids instead of the better stuff, so that's how it goes... Python was great in the beginning, but with Life of Brian they crossed over. I can't tell you how much that film depressed me when I saw its original run when I was around 18. I just knew that kind of deep hostile disrespect was going to take deep root in both the UK and US, and so it has. Now our culture, particularly its rabid consumption of porn and its love of hateful humor, instills disgust around the world. Very few things have been as painful to me in the last few years as the moment I realized freakin Bin Laden has a point here... JDG 00:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, yes, I'm 42 and I know how awful it is when we don't find "cutting edge" humour funny any more. South Park is an example of that for me. On the other hand I find the humour of Life of Brian very gentle and well-observed. You can perhaps console yourself slightly that every generation has said the same thing about the younger generation going to the dogs, all the way back to the ancient Greeks at least, yet our society still hasn't collapsed. Maybe it is about our individual age rather than any deep-seated corruption of society. Notwithstanding the wise words of Mr Bin Laden. --John 00:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the Internet. This is not a place where sacred things are beyond reproach. And you have to also understand that they're jokes. You're free to believe that they're not funny, but to judge the ones who do find them funny as "mocking people" and "rather adolescent" is being guilty of the same crime you accuse them of. JuJube 18:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting reply. On the formatting, it certainly gets one's attention, but can you imagine what talk pages would look like if everybody did that? As far as "using other people's most sacred conceptions with contempt, as targets of derisive humor" goes, you have my sympathy; I feel the same way every time the Scotland team loses, which is quite often. You may find it useful, as I have, to develop a thicker skin, a sense of humour, or both. On the Big Questions, I think I find uncertainty (or ineffability) far more interesting than the pseudo-certainty of dogma, but don't expect you to agree with me there. Sometimes it's nice not to agree. --John 19:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What I do object to is certain admins and editors slapping around rules and then making light and breaking their own rules. Its hypocritical. Drumpler 00:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amusing as all this is, is it really necessary to further crowd an already crowded page with what really amounts to off-topic chatter? Exploding Boy 19:12, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh don't be such a killjoy. Think how dull Wikipedia would be if we all had poker faces on all the time. --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 16:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We need to ban Amun! Tutankhamen name actiually says that he is a sockpuppet of Amun! Apis Bulls are Sockpuppets of Ptah, Cats are Sockpuppets of Bastet, and Crocodiles are Sockpuppets of Sobek! Ban Ptah, Bastet, and Sobek too! We must stop this insanity! Ban 'em all! Tutthoth-Ankhre (talk) 16:12, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By Jove, you're right! And we should block Khepri and Re as sockpuppets of Ra! --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 16:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And Set is a meatpuppet of Apophis! --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 13:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not only do we need to block the Egyptian gods and stuff, we also need to block Wolf as a sockpuppet of the Hunters, Hunters as a sockpuppet of Artemis, Percy Jackson and Tyson as sockpuppets of Poseidon, Jason Grace as a sockpuppet of Jupiter, and Grover Underwood as a sockpuppet of the satyrs. 24.14.73.183 (talk) 03:43, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
