Wikiversity the Movie/Wikiversity is a Mighty Fine Ditch
From Wikiversity
This project encourages Wikiversity participants to create songs on the theme "Wikiversity is a Mighty Fine Ditch". One or more of these creations could be included in "Wikiversity the Movie" as an illustration of an interesting part of the relationship between Wikipedia and Wikiversity and how people sometimes migrate from Wikipedia to Wikiversity.

[edit] What the song theme is about
This music project is concerned with making new songs about Wikipedia editors who have been kicked out of Wikipedia by abusive administrators who are protecting a biased article and preventing other editors from fixing the errors and biases of Wikipedia. The song will describe how to get banned from Wikipedia (thrown into the ditch) because you have tried to correct Wikipedia and then coming to Wikiversity (the mighty fine ditch).
[edit] Resources
- Joy to the world - we could use an upbeat tune like this, substitute "mighty fine ditch" for "mighty fine wine" something like, "I got thrown into the ditch, Wikiversity is my ditch, but it sure is a mighty fine ditch...Joy to the World!"

Wikipedia has some bull shit
This is a pet peeve of mine
They never understood a single word I said
But we edit-warred just fine
Ya, they edit-war just fine
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
Wikipedia has some bull shit
I tried to clean it up
They never understood a single word I said
But we edit-warred just fine
Ya, they know how to edit-war just fine
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
Wikipedia has some bull shit
I tried to clean it up
They reverted me fast and said
"Keep this up and its into the ditch"
Ya, they know how put you in the ditch
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
If I were the King of the wiki
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the edit wars and the rFArbs
And just edit collaboratively with you
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
You know I love the wiki
Love to share knowledge with the world
I'm a BLP editor and a fact finder too
And a straight-shooting son of a gun
I said a straight shootin son of a gun
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
Wikipedia has some bull shit
I tried to clean it up
They never understood a single word I said
So they threw me in the ditch
Ya, they know how throw you in the ditch
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
Wikipedia has some bull shit
I tried to clean it up
They never understood a single word I said
So they threw me in the ditch
Now I'm in my ditch
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
Wikipedia has some bull shit
I tried to clean it up
They never understood a single word I said
So they threw me in the ditch
Ya, Wikiversity is my ditch
Joy to wiki world
All the trolls and POV-pushers
Joy to the editors who get RFC'd
Joy to you and me
Wikipedia has some bull shit
I tried to clean it up
They never understood a single word I said
So they threw me in the ditch
Wikiversity is a mighty fine ditch

Now this here's the story about the Sock Island Crime
The Sock Island Crime ends up in a ditch
And just before the ditch is a big troll gate
And all the Wikipedians that go past the troll gate
They gotta pay the troll some respect
But of course, if you got certain points of view in mind
You're okay and you don't have to pay the troll no mind
And just now we see a change comin' down the pike
When you come up to the troll gate
The Wikipedian, he shout down to the troll
I got friends, I got admins, I got stewards
I got Jimbo, I got all cabals, I got all cabals
I got all cabals
The troll say, you all right boy just
Get on by, you don't have to pay me no mind
And then the Wikipedian go through
And when he go past the troll gate
The Wikipedian gotta have a little bit of esteem
And a little bit of cred
And when the editor thinks he safely on the other side
He shouts back down the talk page to the troll
I fooled you, I fooled you
I got evidence, I got reasoning
I got all good science.

It was rowdy in the quest, looked like a pain,
But 'round the corner come-a Moultonic brain.
North-bound brain against the south bound flack,
You were all right a-leavin but you won't be back

Now I may be right and I may be wrong
But you're gonna diss me when I'm gone

- Oh the Sock Island Crime is the way to bitch
- Astride the Sock Island Crime is a mighty fine ditch
- Well if you want to chide you gotta ride it like you find it

Now the Klingon said before he died,
There were two more stinks he'd like to have tried,
The custodian asked him "What could they be?"
He said, "A terrorist 'bot and a sock puppet spree."
