Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
Jump to: navigation, search
Ambox notice.png I have reached out to Jeff-the owner of this wiki and the only active (sort of) ‘crat-via Gmail and X. Hopefully he responds soon! You can see my To-Do List for him at the bottom of my user page. If there is anything else you think is important, please add to it. I am also considering asking him for adminship, for I am pretty active and available, as well as very dedicated towards this project. What do you think?

TL;DR-emailed/tweeted to Jeff, asked him to do some very important things, I want to become an admin, please give me your thoughts.

Hi! If you see this, you have reached my user page! My name's Victoria, although you can call me Tori for short.

I've done 2,574 changes across 1,430 pages, bringing to a total of 1,498 point contribution score. See my userboxes!

•oh wow-10th overall place in edits! what a surprise-i didn't expect i would reach it in less than a year (01/20/2025)
•to be honest, I started editing about a year ago because I was too scared to join the “real” English Wikipedia and decided to join this small community to learn about Wikipedia policy by lurking around for a year, getting the hang of using templates, wikitext, etc. Also because xkcd is cool. I think that I’ll create an English Wikipedia account on the anniversary of my joining of explain xkcd, Feb. 1, and split my attention between both here and on WP. I’m also doing some research on what WikiProjects I could join, if y’all have any recommendations based on what little y’all know about me I’ll be willing to listen to them. Lore’s over, back to editing! (01/22/2025)

Vandal Counter[edit]

46 times! (I’m going to take it as a sign that my impact on this wiki is positive enough to be recognized and singled out by vandals)

To Do List for Jeff[edit]

•Update the MySQL and MediaWiki software (technical and security ease)
•Promote another ‘crat (this is sort of needed if we want to be able to keep this wiki going and have active admins)
•Promote some more active admins (both Dtgriscom and FaviFake are candidates, maybe me?)
•Find out the root cause behind all of these errors (preventative measures-I suspect unupdated MediaWiki software makes this wiki vulnerable to hacks and DDoS attacks)
•Give TheusafBOT bot status (no-brainier)
•De-sysop Markhurd, Lcarsos, Mynotoar, Dgbrt, maybe Philosopher and other inactive admins (this list is only admins who haven’t edited in over 2 years) (preventative measures, User:Markhurd had deleted the Main Page once years after he was reported to have passed away)
•Fix email confirmation (account reclaims)
•Fix broken RSS Feed (broken ampersand, need server access to change & to &)
•Restore server access to User:Davidy22 (general maintenance from a technical admin)

Hitlist[edit]
