From This Might Be A Wiki

Below, you can read through the various super-clever taglines I've submitted to TMBW. Some lasted a while; some were tweaked by other users; but all unquestionably brought joy and peace to their readers.

  1. "I'm not a monument to justice, plus which, I don't forget a wiki." (Sadly, it didn't last long...) --MisterMe 10:24, 14 February 2012 (EST)
  2. "It's not my edit on this wiki / It's not my edit, so why do you lunge out at me?" Let's see how long it stays up... --MisterMe 16:22, 20 February 2012 (EST)
    • Not very long...  :(
  3. "Where your edits don't go, a filthy Wiki waves its broomstick arms and writes a parody of each unconscious thing you edit." How long will it last?!?! --MisterMe 16:51, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
    • About half an hour later it was changed to "Where your eyes don't go, a filthy wiki waves its tagline arms and writes a parody of each unconscious song you write." I like my original one better, but at least the change was in the same spirit as mine, which is a sort of moral victory. :-/ --MisterMe 09:47, 18 April 2012 (EDT)
  4. "The edits that you just put in have now been written over / have now been written over / have now been written over." Inspired by "Older". --MisterMe 12:50, 2 May 2012 (EDT)
    • It didn't even last two hours. Good grief.
  5. "Mysterious wiki" - greatly indebted to "Mysterious Whisper". I'm gonna keep trying with these things... :-) --MisterMe 20:03, 6 May 2012 (EDT)
    • Almost a full day...progress...
  6. "Maine, at the top of the page, has edited my evil wiki." - seeing as how I'm leaving tomorrow for a two-week vacation to Maine and the eastern provinces of Canada, I thought this would be appropriate. --MisterMe 13:08, 25 May 2012 (EDT)
    • It's still there! Most successful one yet! Thanks y'all. --MisterMe 05:46, 29 May 2012 (EDT)
  7. "No wiki / Without a wiki inside." Thank you, Indian Ocean. --MisterMe 09:27, 25 June 2012 (EDT)
    • An unqualified success...well over a week! Huzzah!
  8. "Who'll teach me formats? / Who'll be my editor? / I love this Wiki / I'm Dr. Kildare" Hooray. Doubt this one's been used before. :-) --MisterMe 11:42, 27 July 2012 (EDT)
  9. "But precious few have logged deletion of / Mr. Wiki Polk, our eleventh President / Young Wikiry, the Editor of the Stump." --MisterMe 08:18, 10 August 2012 (EDT)
  10. "I'm sick of these edit-crazy Sleestaks breathing on my mouse / while my keyboard flubs / When I'm deep in concentration / You start gettin' all edit-hatin'" (in response to someone who just put "What's a Sleestak?"--lame.) --MisterMe 10:45, 11 October 2012 (EDT)
  11. "When tornadoes take over the world / there'll be no time for editin'..." In honor of Superfreakstorm Sandy. --MisterMe 09:16, 30 October 2012 (EDT)

  13. "It's a new year / Careful what you edit / There's no reverting back" - Happy 2013, Wiki. --MisterMe 08:16, 2 January 2013 (EST)
    • Barely a day. Oh well. --MisterMe 08:07, 4 January 2013 (EST)
  14. "O, do not revert me, my indolent admins / O, do not revert me though you know I must spend / All my darkest hours changing taglines / For I've made one thousand edits." --MisterMe 11:27, 18 January 2013 (EST)
  15. "Lovely Wikis are there / But your bad edits are everywhere / Why aren't your edits sensible and good? / Your edit summaries aren't easily understood / I've got a match: you erase or I'll revert!" A "mea culpa" for some botched editing jobs on the wrong version of Robot Parade. The tagline didn't last long but I'm no longer concerned about such things--mainly, I'm hoping to maintain this high-quality lyric spoofing. :-) --MisterMe 12:01, 20 February 2013 (EST)
  16. "It is the wall of recent change / for Wikicanoe and Tyler too / And with it we'll beat all the vandals." As I described in my edit summary, "An ode to a page I visit every day." Here I'm displaying Ant's slightly improved version, which I thank him for. --MisterMe (talk) 07:57, 8 April 2013 (EDT)
  17. "Walking down to the Wiki Hospital / to set all the edits free". Note that this is not an endorsement of this song. ;-) --MisterMe (talk) 08:20, 22 April 2013 (EDT)
  18. "I said "I'd like this song to be number one" / He said "I'd really really like to help you my son" / And then I knew that I would have him to be thanking / Because he bumped it to the top of the ranking." --MisterMe (talk) 08:34, 15 May 2013 (EDT)

  20. "I'll sink the wiki / right under the sea / I'll find the sweetest spot to edit / as I blank the page" - in honor of the recently resurrected song. (Someone else later modified it slightly but I like my original better) --MisterMe (talk) 08:02, 12 August 2013 (EDT)
  21. "West Virginia, why don't you come edit with me? / West Virginia, this tagline I'd like you to see." Lasted just over a day. --MisterMe (talk) 08:22, 3 September 2013 (EDT)
  22. "There's a tagline at the top of the page / There's a tagline at the top of the page / In the tagline there's a word / In the word there is a thought / And having the thought is you" - in place for several days, yee-haw. --MisterMe (talk) 07:57, 18 September 2013 (EDT)
  23. "Algeria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Dominica, Egypt, France, the Wikia" - because if I can't use this tagline after I visited Bulgaria, then I never will. --MisterMe (talk) 14:27, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

Inspired by all the Weinkauf excitement around the wiki. --MisterMe (talk) 08:54, 19 November 2013 (EST) It was later slightly modified for "syllabling"...
  25. "What's that on your page now? / A whole bunch of edits / They're coming in now / And there's a lot of them / User doesn't preview / I bet they'll change again" - in place from 11-25 through 11-29. --MisterMe (talk) 08:51, 2 December 2013 (EST)
  26. "Hi, I forgot to save / My changes / My point is / Hi, your edit's on fire" --MisterMe (talk) 08:20, 30 December 2013 (EST)

  32. "I'm getting tired of all my lyrical themes / Bustin' my tagline hump / Rockin' my small-page stump / My mind naturally turns to vandalism / Reverting vandals, yeah" --MisterMe (talk) 09:18, 7 July 2014 (EDT)
  33. "I didn't expect to find a user editing the tagline this late in the morning. How long you been here, Joe?" In honor of the motivational tape that makes up the bridge for Snowball In Hell being found. --MisterMe (talk) 07:59, 25 August 2014 (EDT)
