The Lyrics
Step one, you say I need a talk
I balk, you say, relax, it's just a talk page
People come to see my fate
Soon they're engrossed in the debate
Some sort of template on my right
Doesn't adequately sources cite
Some sysops claim that it's been faked
And all this arguing is so half-baked
Where did I go wrong, they must amend
My faults and make all the reverting end
How will this all end, will I be a
Failure of Wikipedia
Does notability apply,
or am I too obscure for this, and why?
As the talk page grows so much
I get locked so I won't be touched
As more join in, it just gets worse
I'm at the center of the universe
The whole world sees and hears me
The whole world sees and hears me
Where did I go wrong, they must amend
My faults and make the media attention end
How will this all end, will I be a
Failure of Wikipedia
Well, if I were just any page
I'd be amended without any rage
But being the guidelines themselves
I can't be thrown back to the shelves
As the foundation crumbles now
People say that they knew how
There was no hope for stability
And I begin to fade from memory
Where did I go wrong, they must amend
My faults, and resurrect and defend
This for which we've fought, I won't be the
Failure of Wikipedia
Where did I go wrong, the people left
I'm left to mope and be rather bereft
Now it's clear why they said there'd be a
Failure in Wikipedia
[Wikipedia is a neutral and unbiased compilation of
previously written verifiable facts. Wikipedia is a
neutral-point-of-view encyclopedia that anybody can edit.]
Wikipedia
Where did I go werong, I lost support
When one small talk page here did distort
I only exist now to be there
Failure called Wikipedia
[In other news today, two entrepreneurs have formed
a new website based on the now-defunct Wikipedia.
The so-called "free encyclopedia" was dissolved in 2009
due to a bitter dispute about the website's policies
that could not be resolved.]
