 The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
Hey,
I have made it a point to keep the wikipedia Objects page updated and it appears that some infidel has been posting powers to Objects with unknown properties.
Wikipedia Objects page
To All Members: DO NOT POST POWERS TO OBJECTS ON THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE UNLESS YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN OF ITS POWER AND YOU HAVE CONFIRMED IT WITH CHRIS !!!!!
(I personally do not think it was a member who did it ! I think it was a noob boob who did it. )
I have fixed the page...and I will monitor it closely !
Examples:
Knife - cuts thru any solid object
Soap bar - After washing hands with Soap Bar user turns invisible for up to 2 hours
TV - allows user to view 2-3 min into the future
2nd Cufflink - prevents user from having a heart attack
ALL UTTER BULL !!!
Nothing pisses me off more than someone who thinks they know it all and posts bogus info regarding Objects !!
Charles

Re: The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
Actually Chuckles, I just reviewed the Wikipedia article and it seems to me that it still has a lot of problems. It should not include assumptions that we have made purely for the purpose of collecting.
Information that we cannot absolutely verify should be sharply qualified or altogether omitted. The article definitely should not say that the ruler is wooden, 12 inches long, and has a metal edge. However, many of the other object descriptions go way overboard. As collectors, we certainly have information to add to this article, but we have to edit it carefully.
Keep in mind that this article might be used by college students to get a start on a term paper and possibly even by scholars doing research.

Re: The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
Thing I can't understand is why? Why would anyone take the time to enter erroneous information?

Re: The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
It occurs to me that we are gradually moving from the role of being collectors to being stewards of knowledge about the objects.
This makes sense. As a group (that includes the series’ creators) we certainly know more about the objects than anyone. This is hard earned knowledge obtained by mining the internet as if it were an archaeological dig or an ancient library. It also makes sense for us as an organization. You have noted that our role would eventually have to change. This is apparently our new role.
If we are becoming objectologists we should probably discuss this new responsibility in some detail.

Re: The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
someone posted on the wiki page the "true effects of the chewing gum"
while the effect is cool.....I highly doubt it is correct and authentic.
I will check with Chris about this.

Re: The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
I’m sure it’s nonsense. Chris, Paul, and Laura surely would not post an object power until it had been published. Only the “creators” have the authority to create an object power. First God created the heaven and the earth and saw that they were good…then we read about them.

Re: The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
the wiki page says
"Now dead since he was killed by Joe Miller who has apparently inherited his "powers" and so become an Object."
we did not see this happen, anectdotal evidence suggests otherwise (to me).

Be seeing you.

Re: The Wikipedia Objects page ATTENTION !!!!!!
I’ve been making the anecdotal and subjective evidence argument for over a year now. In my opinion, the whole page is too “Collector” oriented.
However, instead of haggling over the Wikipedia page, I suggest we get the catalogue done and let it be a guide for revision. It is easier to argue for how a thing should be if you have a working model.
