Team Fortress Wiki talk:Trivia Wall of Shame

This is hilarious whoever made this! I was just thinking of creating something like this...when this list gets full enough there will be hours of entertainment to be had. Alsoodani 15:36, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, also requesting someone place a character from TF2 facepalming, somewhere on the project page. Alsoodani 15:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

We've had worse come by in the IRC channel which you should join~ Also, I agree with the facepalming. Will do it whenever I get back home and remember to do it, unless someone ninja's me to it. — Wind 15:42, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Worse in the IRC channel? Definitely going to hop in on the IRC, then, to witness that! (I'm a total noob at IRC, but I'll give it a go) - Alsoodani 15:57, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I can get behind this. ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 15:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

In short: Amusing. Quanyails 04:05, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

This is one of those articles that just sort of puts itself on your watchlist. Turboplant 02:13, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

This needs a quote

How 'bout:

• "Drink it in, pal. That's how failure tastes."
• "Wassamatter, y'freakin' stupid?"
• "Oh hey! You suck."
• "What the hell is youse guys' problem?"
• "What the hell was that crap?"
• "This is a real frickin' embarrassment."
• "You're a disgrace to the uniform."
• "The burning you feel? It is shame."
• "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
• "That's what ya get!"
• "That there is just a sad display, boy."
• "Dumber than dirt, ain't'cha?"
• "You're dumb as a box of rocks!"
• "You just ain't doin' it right."
• "Zis, is unacceptable!"
• "You are... schtupid!"
• "You. Are. A. Bloody. Disgrace."
• "Does it hurt when I do that? It does, doesn't it?!"

While some trivia might exhibit a total lack of understanding of the guidelines, it's not really right (or in accordance with the wiki rules) to make fun of the efforts of others. To that end, I'd like to propose reducing your list to:

• "This is a real frickin' embarrassment."
• "You just ain't doin' it right."
• "Zis, is unacceptable!"

I realize that's a pretty serious culling, but it's not really fair to those trying to contribute for us to call them names, diminish their contributions, or appear to take pleasure in deleting their work. ::Scurve :: 00:47, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah all right, that makes sense. I was just grabbing a whole bunch of quotes that were both partly applicable and humourous; the general idea of the "stupid" ones is that the trivia itself is stupid, not the people that put it up. I'd like to keep the Heavy's "shame" one in the list though, since after all it is a Wall of Shame. Toomai Glittershine 03:21, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Quotation has been added. — Wind 03:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I want

I want to create Russian version of Wall of Shame. Do you agree? — Laros123 11:31, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

 Support There is a lot of really funny trivias in Russian section of the Wiki. ^{(T | C)} 11:34, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Jealousy?

I some of the trivia on the wall of shame don't seem to belong on it. Perhaps Jealousy? ex:

Heavy - "The fact that the Heavy wears hats like the Hound Dog and the Football Helmet seems to imply he's interested in American culture."

This on is intresting and may contain some truth. Plus it makes sence. I think it should be re-added.

 Nope.avi We don't cover speculation whereever possible, so we allow readers to make up their own mind regarding what the Heavy may or may not be interested in. -- Pilk _(talk) 11:31, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Iron Curtain - "The Iron Curtain features a vent on its side from which smoke and light of a flame are visible. This may be a reference to the emphasis on industrialization in Soviet Russia."

While it is phrased rather weird, its true. I think it should be re-worded a little and re-added.

 Maybe Its removal might have been justified (not sure), but I don't think this belongs on the wall of shame. -- Pilk _(talk) 11:31, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

L'Etranger "This weapon has the highest pitch and least damage of all four of the spy's revolvers."

While the least damage is a given, highest pitch is intresting. I think it should be re-added with just "The L'Etranger has the highest pitch of all four of the Spy's revolvers.

 Nope.avi It's not interesting and can be observed by anyone playing a few rounds in the game. -- Pilk _(talk) 11:31, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Medic - " The medic is currently one of the only classes not to have a health problem. Ex: The scout has radiation poisoning, the soldier has fractured limbs, pyro probably has abestos in his/her lungs, the demo is an alcoholic and also probably has fractured limbs, the heavy is obese, the engineer is a crippled, the sniper has kidney faliure, and the spy might have lung cancer

Why was this one even removed? Its ture, made sence, and dosen't break any rules.

 Maybe I think this might be covered elsewhere. I find this information interesting, even if it can be regarded as "x of y" trivia. -- Pilk _(talk) 11:31, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

It's x of y and false/speculation. Can you find even a hint for the fractured limbs, asbestos or lung cancer? Smoking does in no way guarantee lung cancer. Replacing your hand with a fully functional robotical one hardly counts as crippled. Fractured limbs I assume is from explosive jumping? If you include that, you can assume bullet wounds for every single character. --CruelCow ^(talk) 19:05, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Old Guadalajara - "There was a large gasoline explosion in the city of Guadalajara, supposedly supporting the Pyros destructive nature." Again, intresting and true Theres some others but I'm running out of space. Tacoworld501 11:21, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

 Nope.avi The only thing this has in common with the Pyro is the name of the hat. It doesn't "support" any conclusion. -- Pilk _(talk) 11:31, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Granary - "A 'Granary' is a location for storing food. As such, the design of the map incorporates silos, mills and storage containers."

Why was this removed? It seems quite intresting... Hilarious Pill 14:22, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I think this page should be deleted

While very, very funny, all it does is serve to isolate inexperienced members, so more experienced editors can point and laugh at them for adding something they thought would be good to have. We really shouldn't publicly humiliate them for their mistakes. Behind closed doors, on the IRC, why not? "Hey guys, check out this trivia I just reverted." "Heh." "Crayons? xD" People do that anyway. A lot of these are really funny! But we're still parading peoples mistakes, slapping their name right on it for all to see.

Heck, maybe just remove the links to the edits? I really would hate to see this page go, but it isn't worth a laugh to humiliate someone new like that for making a mistake to me. --SilverHammer 11:16, 30 July 2011 (PDT)

Yeah, I have to say I agree. Whilst this page is genuinly funny, it sort condtradicts the rule that editors have to obey a rule of politness and treat everyone as equals to have them posting a page ridiculing people effort.MEDUNN 11:35, 30 July 2011 (PDT)
