This page contains material which is considered humorous. It may also contain advice.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:PLEASEBITE)

WikiVampires love to feast on the newbies.

Wikipedia always has lots of newcomers that drive you up the wall. We must be extremely hostile to them and always assume that they want to destroy our precious wiki in order to have them understand the true meaning of Wikipedia.

New members often seem all sweetness and light at first, but most turn out to be vandals and bad-faith editors at the end. Practically like a "demon". Therefore, it is very important to assume bad faith and bite them. Hard. So if you see a newcomer do ANYTHING remotely wrong, go ahead and bite their damn ass. Newbies are often delicious if you bite them right, and you will achieve great satisfaction by doing so. In fact, when pushed to their breaking point, traumatized, and generally beaten up by the entire wiki, newbies are the most delicious things you can find on Wikipedia, aside from articles about restaurants.

Definition of a 'newbie'

[edit]

In general, a newbie is an editor who joined Wikipedia this very moment. However, some say that any Wikipedia member that joined after 2001 is a newbie. Therefore, we must learn to bite each other and even ourselves – even if you have been editing Wikipedia since Jimbo Wales.
