Wikiterrorism

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

This article may contain a point of view.

As you read this message, Uncyclopedia editors are hard at work at tracking down the point of view to its hiding place in the mountains of Pakistan. Please see the irrelevant discussion on the talk page.

Wikiterrorism is often committed by anonymous individuals, evil characters who step out of the shadows to inflict their brand of mayhem and destruction upon an unsuspecting world, like tintin.

As with any great and mighty empire Wikiworld finds itself under attack from individuals and organisations from both within and without its borders. These individuals often have their own agendas which sit contary to the goodwill, freedom and happiness that all members of the community enjoy.

[edit] Acts of Wikiterrorism

Due to an increasing level of individuals suffering from delusions of grandeur, Wikiterrorism is fast becoming a major concern for world leaders and online communities worldwide. Often utilising underhand tactics such as Gorilla Warfare techniques to harangue, harass and horseradish their victims into submission.

The Great SlashDotting of ’53 and the attacks by Uber-terrorist Wilhelm von Wheels have had a lasting effect on the gentle folk of cyberdom. Wikiterrorist acts are designed and may be deliberately timed to attract wide publicity and cause public shock, outrage, and fear.

[edit] Troll Destroying

As of May 2005 Colander-in-Chief Jimbo "W" Wales has kept security forces at Heliotrope Alert. A number of emergency legislative amendments have allowed for a creation of new departments to deal with threat. Located deep within ArbCom Mountain the newly appointed Sockfinder General and his enforcement team plan reprisal attacks deep within enemy territory, often resorting to using the same methods as the Wikiterrorist to hit back.

Despite protestation from liberal rights organisations ArbCom continues its clandestine activities to confront Wikiterrorism head on. Indeed the battle has become an international one, with total co-operation between several nation states. A veteran of 14 years campaigning Comrade Conrad has recently led attacks against the Liberation for Interwiki Rebels And Related Terrorist Hubs group in his native Soviet Republic of Spain.

[edit] Tactics

The main tactic utilised in Wikiterrorism is in the use of small to medium sized inflammatory devices left in densely populated areas within the Cyber Community. Occasionally low level espionage is used, whereby members of such groups attempt to infiltrate key bodies within the infrastructure of their enemies government.

Wikiterrorism can take many forms, from intimidation or coercion to full character assassination attempts, but the key desire for control remains paramount.

[edit] Perpetrators

Lone Wolves: Often displaying anti-social personality disorder or possibly psychopathic personality disorder, these individuals are often described as "loners" with "few friends". They often have issues dating back from childhood that impact upon them, and usually display poor social skills. Often, they smell like old cheese.

Wikiterrorist Groups: Often lead by a charismatic and dominant leader, these groups are organised and dangerous. Occasionally utilising a Wikicell structure, if one member is killed or captured another member can instantly take their place. This type of organisation is usually identified by the fact that many members have an uncontrollable uniform fetish. One such example of this type of group is the Anti-Uncyclopedians, who endeavour to vandalise and generally terrorise Uncyclopedia with the ultimate aim of destroying it forever.

InterWiki Conflict: Occasionally the normal borders of wikiterrorist activities are forgotten, and conflict takes place across numerous wiki-locations, sometimes escalating into fullscale wars between wikicities, countries and nation states. One example of this was the infamous WN Wiki Incident, where wikiterrorists codenamed Brad and Codey inflicted heavy damage within a community of Universal Brotherhood (and in the case of Agent Brad, upon himself).

[edit] Causes

Theories on the causes of wikiterrorism include:

• Sociological explanations, which focus on the position of the perpetrators in society, usually defined by adolescent bed-wetting, masturbation and cross-dressing on alternate weekends.
• Conflict Theory explanations, which examine the perpetrators' relationship to those in power, such as parents, teachers, website administrators and deities.
• Ideological explanations, which focus on the differences in ideology, and the different goals of the ideologies. This may be due to extreme rightwing or leftwing politico-religious beliefs or just being nutters.
• Media Theory explanations, which treat terrorist acts as a form of communication. Of course this is just plain silly.
