Talk:WIGO4R

I think WIFR is a little odd, WIGOFR or WIGO4R or wigonazi would be a better "quicklink"... human 15:46, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I like WIGO4R myself. I summons the ancient spirits of Consensus to aid me!^{— Unsigned, by: 85.25.151.22 / talk / contribs} 15:49, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I used "WIFR" because it evoked a soft and fluffy impression in me, so I thought it poetically ironic. I also wanted to avoid including "WIGO" in the acronym, because we already have a WIGO, and I felt reusing it, even with an extra letter or two tacked on, would be confusing. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 15:53, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

WIFR itself is quite confusing. What Is Fourth Reich? The answer is educated stupid.^{— Unsigned, by: 85.25.151.22 / talk / contribs} 16:05, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

What about GOFR, for "Goings-on in the Fourth Reich"? It breaks from the "WIGO" pattern. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 16:09, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I liked the WIGO pattern. When CP dies and we start taking on every other fish in the pond, are we gonna use a new phrasing each time?^{— Unsigned, by: 85.25.151.22 / talk / contribs} 16:11, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I suppose not. Hm. Considering that, I'll support a WIGO-based pattern from now on. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 16:13, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

And give me your userspace, also.^{— Unsigned, by: 85.25.151.22 / talk / contribs} 16:15, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Never, foul Spawn of Satan! -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:30, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Do as I say, cozy handstand, or else I shall disagree in a goodnatured manner!^{— Unsigned, by: 85.25.151.22 / talk / contribs} 17:34, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Back, cozy beast, back! Or I shall summon the almighty Susan, feared slayer of nonsense! -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:38, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Oh, I'm disappointed now. I thought you came up with the lovely phrase "back, fell beast" yourself. You cheater. And you can't fight my nonsense forever! Riverrun, past Eve and Adam's!

So, wigo - fr, 4r, or -nazi? wigo4r and wigofr are both easy to type... human 16:17, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I support WIGOFR, because the "gopher" on the end is almost amusing. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:30, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I must admit, I like WIGO4R a little more. The presence of the number four reminds you what it means, where WIGOFR might seem perplexing if you're new here.^{— Unsigned, by: 85.25.151.22 / talk / contribs} 17:42, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

What would make more sense is to wait and let an abbreviation develop organically. If and when one does, make a redirect for it. human 18:09, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

How about a simple cp:WIGO, mp:WIGO, cw:WIGO, etc? NightFlare^{Speak, mortal} 18:15, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

That'll get too confusing. Most of us don't even type out Conservapedia, RationalWiki, and Wikipedia anymore, you just use CP, RW, and WP (respectively). The point being, in common conversation, no one will bother tacking the namespace on the beginning, even in abbreviated form, and we'll have endless bits of conversation going something like, "On WIGO..." [other person checks the WIGO they're most familiar with] "Wait, which WIGO?". -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:14, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

This one is wigo mp & sf & whatever other nazis we run into though. What would make more sense is to wait and see if it survives til, say, next week (as an active project), see if we can figure out a good namespace for it (if it deserves one), and then derive a wigonym from that. Basically I think this particular redirect is pointless and should be deleted. human 19:15, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I second the gentleman from New Hampshire's motion to delete the redirect in question. But keep the talk page to inflate my most linked-to page count : ) -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:21, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Yes, I agree with keeping the talk. Keep it right here? human 19:26, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I think we should keep it here for now, then later move it to whatever acronym emerges organically. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 19:48, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

That makes sense. I'll go look for in-links & vape it for now. human 20:12, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
