There is finally a Wikipedia entry for IMAO.
I’ve gone from hating Wikipedia just because to finding it quite useful for non-controversial topics, at least (you want to quickly know the kingdom, phylum, calss, order, family, and genus of the platypus with cross-references, I don’t think you can find a better site).
There were two links to IMAO.us in Wikipedia until just a couple days ago (a link to IMAO on the Mumia page was removed on Janurary 30th). Now I have but one (heh; I’m an entertainer).
That reminds me; I have a video to show you guys. Stay tuned…
UPDATE: Did some write an IMAO Blog page just so I could get deleted again? Since last time (I forget when that was and am too lazy to look it up), they now have specific guidelines for what makes a website and a blog “notable.” Maybe a case could be made, but I don’t feel like it. Still, getting called “non-notable” really stings. Stupid wiki-doodie-heads.
Hmm, but they seem to use Alexa to judge sites. If everyone got one of those Alexa bars, we could inflate that…
UPDATE 2: Here’s the debate the previous time someone wrote a page. It was closer then, even though the article on IMAO was horrible and didn’t follow Wikipedia guidelines at all.
Wow, Frank that is such a good article.
“Imao
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Imao may refer to:
* Imaw — a fictional character in Encantadia
* an Internet slang for In My Arrogant Opinion, as opposed to the commonly used In My Humble Opinion (IMHO).
This is a disambiguation page: a list of articles associated with the same title. If an internal link referred you to this page, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.”
I know I’m not the FIRST person to notice that.
I too didn’t like it because of the way it could be edited and used to tarnish a reputation, usually a conservative. However, after my math professor suggested it, I too find it useful for non-controversial topics as well. Works great for those subjects.
Agreed – on non-controversial topics, Wikipedia is usually excellent.
My google searches these days usually look something like “X wiki” where X is the subject I want to know more about
Grim, why are you so interested in finding out about X?
“Kevin’s Pet Cat Only Farts Green Smoke”
Frank, that’s how I memorized it for my 10th grade Biology test.
BTW, that was 23 years ago and I still remember it.
They marked the article for deletion, yet the KosKids get their entry. Does anyone else see a bias on Wikipedia? Also, try and find anything bad about Che Guevara in his article. In conclusion, liberals have way too much free time to surf the web writing encyclopedia articles to their tastes.
Scott: Liberals have way too much time to think period because they’re either really rich or majoring in liberal (they don’t call it ‘liberal’ for nothing) arts. That’s why they come up with crazy ideas that don’t work in the real world – they’re not connected to it.
