Wiki Rewrites History

History will be kind to me - for I intend to wiki it. -- WinstonChurchill


Weeny, weedy, wiki. -- Julius Caesar (Caesar is describing three generations of group authoring tools, according to those with the original manglescripts).

Unfortunately, that's very close to how the original was pronounced.

I disagree with what you say, Sir, but I would die for our right to wiki it. -- MrVoltaire

(As an odd side-note, Voltaire didn't actually say that, or even the quote that that's based on. It was made up by someone who was doing a biography of Voltaire as something he might have said, and it just caught on. And that's how wiki got its name. Fascinating. So who did originally say or write "I never approved either the errors of his book, or the trivial truths he so vigorously laid down. I have, however, stoutly taken his side when absurd men have condemned him for these same truths."?)

Got up, wiki'd, went to bed. -- MarkTwain in Diary of a RecentChangesJunkie

We choose to go to the WikiWikiWeb in this decade, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because we are WikiholicsAnonymous. -- JohnFitzgeraldKennedy?

We Wiki here, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. -- AbrahamLincoln, GettysburgAddress (...or something very loosely related to it. ;-)

I wiki, therefore I am. -- ReneDescartes

That's one small step for man, a giant wiki for mankind! -- Astronaut stepping on the moon after he looked at the earth.

Sighted Sub, Wiki'd Same. -- short naval message

What we have here is a failure to wiki - Go ahead - make my wiki. -- Clint Eastwood

I know what you're thinking, was that 5 Wiki RecentChanges, or 6? -- Clint Eastwood

I helped create the wiki. -- Al Gore

Mommy, Where did the Wiki come from?

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this Wiki is too small to contain. -- PierreDeFermat
