Here's another piece if Wikipedia ``greatness'':
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoo

Yes, Bablon 5 is nice, but a fragging long *featured* article about this fictional food that only really gets mentioned twice in the entire series ...? What is that all about?

Behind this article is a large group of braindead people with nothing better to do than push forward the article, regardless of the relevance or importance, I don't really have a problem with that, other people find it important somehow, and invest time and effort in making an article like this, well, their time to waste.

But please don't delete other articles just because you don't like them you ****heads.

How can you recover a ``deleted'' article? One of the help pages mentioned the content is not lost ... But I was unable to locate it.

le ille le il allah, allah akbar, le ille imsham.
(dunno if it actually goes like this i like dont know arabic.)
Seems to me you mean: elhamdülillah, allahuekber, allah inşallah.
It's Turkish and most times very fast spoken, so it sounds much like you wrote it. ;)
It means something like: Praise be to God, God is almighty, my hope rests in God.

And I just remembered another reason why Wikipedia sucks, it's because you need to go through 40 pages so large it bogs down the entire system before you figure out what the hell is going on, all the Wikipedia people speak in strange tongues (As we can see in the deletion message) and it's explained *somewhere*, but due to very, very bad organizing you can't find it without 4 hours of searching ...

I can't find out why the page has been deleted, and for the reasons stated above I give up ... It's just so tiresome ...

'ello.

For some reason I got a mental image of some guy on a quest thrashing his way through a horde of Orcs down a tunnel to retrieve that copy of the holy WP article :lol:.

WTF does "expired WP:pROD" and "Fails to meet TW" mean?

I could interrogate people I know in irc://freenode.net/#wikipedia-en-help .... hmmm.

Oh, and that post should in no way encourage anyone writing angry Emails or burning crosses in front of houses of wikipedia admins. [Just the standard disclaimer in case one of you crazy NA Inf fans starts doing something odd]

I have have also found WP VERY annoying recently. What happened to "assume good faith" and all that ? :(

EDIT: I'm checking this out. It looks like the article may have been tagged for deletion and then no one challenged it so it just went. I'll get back to you.

EDIT: I got an answer !
"Hello. The edit summary is a bit unclear but I see that the article was proposed for deletion in July with the rationale of "Fails to meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline. No reliable sources to assert notability within the article, or were found via web search or news archive." Does that help? Kind regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:36, 21 September 2008 (UTC)"
