Wiki updates

As you may know, RR has its very own wiki page, to help people keep up on our beloved little community.  It's an awesome little thing that helps visitors from other sites get our inside jokes, and for new commenters here to figure out what the hell we're talking about when we reference The Wagon, LLM, and Cherry Hudson Jr.  Also, as far as I know, we're the only SB Nation site with its own wiki page, which is a nifty little distinction.

The problem with the wiki in its current state is that, well, it isn't very current, and I figured the offseason is a good of a time as any to get it updated.  The wiki needs:

  • Updated nicknames
  • Removal of references no longer relevant to the team (Narron, Coutlangus, Krivsky, Dunner (sigh))
  • Updated "Meet your fellow Red Reporters" section

The last one is the one where you all come in (although, if you want to help out with the first two, go ahead).  If you don't have a page up there, you're more than welcome to make one.  Slyde explained it pretty well in the first call to arms with this, so I'll just post what he said.

And as always, please feel free to add your own name to the list of members and add some text descriptions for it too.  You don't have to put any real life information, but if you want to put something about how you got to Red Reporter or who your favorite player is or whatever, that would be cool.

Registering for the wiki is open to anyone and it only takes a few seconds.  Also, if you're poking around and you think of something that makes you say "damn, that should be in the wiki", put it in the wiki!  And if anyone has about an hour or two on their hands, jmcclain's awesome salary breakdown  could use an update as well. 

We're gonna go to the payroll page, and the members page, and the running jokes page, and we're gonna take back the wiki!  YEEEAAAHHH!!!

Athletics Nation has a wiki

but we definitely could use a tune up on ours. We may need to look at reorganizing the front page, but for now the individual pages could use some work. There isn’t a lot going on on the actual site here right now, so that makes it a perfect time to update our meta site while you avoid work.

Oh

and you don’t have to register on the wiki site to be able to edit. You can add and edit as anonymous.

Oh. Hell. Yes.

Which would you like to be, a ballerina or a hippopotamus?

To take a phrase from sidnancy

wow…….just. wow.

Thanks!

Little did you know, I’ve trademarked that little phrase. You now owe me $.17. No personal checks.

Often wrong, never uncertain.

Shit

After the quarter I gave Paris Hilton for saying “that’s hot”, I’m busted.

i think the most disturbing thing

is that it looks like a dude in the suit. anyone wearing something like that would be pathological, but much more so for a dude.

I don't think references to players past should be removed

They’re part of our history, and we still talk about them.

Long live Coutlangus. Or at least, Coutlangus jokes.

The Wiki does impress other fans. Remember that time when fans from another blog (I can’t remember which one) Googled “Chandrathan” and found the Wiki. They were astonished that we had a Wiki.

How come there's no Marge 'My store bought Negro' jokes then ?

Sgt. McCAin and Sarah The Impaler don't scare me none.

I agree, if they're still commonly referenced

Like Hitler and TSF, but Hollandsworthless was only on the Reds for like, two months.

I was going to add myself and a few other things to the wiki

but I don’t think I have a schtick yet. I think I may be just too un-ironic for RR.

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

not really

but if I was…whoa. that’d be meta.

Oh and

kudos for the Death to Smoochy reference. I thought the same with one look at that photo.. That is one of my favorite movies of this decade..
