US Politics Online Wikipedia Entry

U.S. Politics Online - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a beauty, isn't it?

As you can see, the entry is quite sparse. So, if anyone has some free time and wants to add on to it, it would be much appreciated. I'll be doing it myself in the coming days and weeks, but I thought we could get a lot more accomplished if we started a thread here to discuss what we should add, what needs to be changed, etc.

I'm thinking we should have topics for the following:

1)Brief overview of forum rules
2)A history of the changes the site has gone through
3)A section on the various events we hold (banner competition, awards, etc.)
4)List of admins/mods past & present.
5)A detailed explanation of Kathaksung.

Any other ideas?

Re: US Politics Online Wikipedia Entry

A disclaimer pointing out that Dr. Goodtrips has been sued by yours truly for online medical malpractice... that hemorrhoid app he sent me has done nothing.
He can expect to be served his papers as soon as the horse and buggy make it to Indiana from PA.

We'll be sure to have an entry for The Great Drgoodtrips Debacle of '09.

You'll have to be more specific. I average somewhere between 6 and 7 Great Debacles per year.

Maybe this one could be listed as "Pain in the ass of Archer"? (That's fairly open to interpretation....)

Are you semi-retired? I know a physician who can crank out that many in a good day.

Nah. I'm more of what you might call "unlicensed" or "completely incompetent at practicing any kind of medicine that involves more than dousing my cuts with hydrogen peroxide"....

Re: US Politics Online Wikipedia Entry

So if anything is added about the "oh so handsome, witty, incredibly brilliant moderator who goes by the name of Speakeasy".....we know who did it, right?



Hank, I'm speaking to you.

Re: US Politics Online Wikipedia Entry

Now that they will know about us, it's only a matter of time before politicians defer all matters of state and government to the wise and careful sages here at USPOL...
