  • No joke, but if Wikipedia tried to fundraise with a t-shirt that showed someone changing a page with the words "Pizza EVERY DAY" on the screen, they would probably raise a lot of money. I've often considered "pizza everyday" a core part of my overall life philosophy. Viriditas (talk) 20:39, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course the IP is from the DoD... Toadspike [Talk] 11:15, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, it's randomly generated. Clever. Also clever is the way this piece manages to skewer everybody under the sun, not just the vandals I was expecting. Toadspike [Talk] 11:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • One of the best humor articles I've read in a long time. Thanks @JPxG: for such an on-point article! ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 04:04, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suppose the idea of someone using Wikipedia to declare there's going to be "Pizza on EVERY DAY" is funny. But the punchline seems to be 'fixing Wikipedia's problems is actually as easy as reverting, misinformation isn't an issue, and all this sound and fury is unnecessary because the only real problem is promotionalism'. It's a punchline that prefers preserving Wikipedia's status quo and seems to offer little to resolving or even at least objecting to the prevalence of misogyny, queerphobia, racism, colonialist legacies, and anti-intellectualism in the project. Here WMF's task forces and statements are skewered for being overreactions and unnecessary. From where I'm sitting, the problem is more that they accomplish little of substance and that this is by design because WMF is so timid in the face of objections it avoids pushing for anything even when something's necessary.

  • So the IP originated from SoftBank in Japan while the hacker is in Wisconsin? The hacker showed some mad skillz! We better prepare a Committee to Address Misrepresenting of Internet Protocol Address now! ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 02:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Principal Hubert Glockenballs makes some strong points in this article. User:RossEvans18: talk 19:46, 15 June 2024
  • This fine young master hacker was speaking TRUTH to power when he pulled the curtain off the creamed-corn industrial complex. Too bad the sheeple who groom Wikipedia tripped over themselves to CENSOR it as fast as their effete elite paymasters could cough up the chump change. But seriously, thanks for this — by the time I reached the end, I'd almost spit out my creamed crap from laughing. Quercus solaris (talk) 21:35, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Damn, this is the best humor I've ever read. This humor cuts to the heart of everyone "involved." Can I call it one of those "masterpiece" humors? ▪︎ Fazoffic ( ʖ╎ᓵᔑ∷ᔑ) 01:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bruh what kind of Wikipedia article about an random school that probably nobody knows about except for the students, the students affiliates and the staff have information regarding school lunches!?XD Spongebob796 (talk) 01:34, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
