==Declaration of War Vs. Wookieepedia, Wikipedia, SW Fanon & Memory Alpha: 7/8/06==
+
'''Date:''' February 16, 2004
-
On this great day of July 8 in the Year of Our Lord 2006, righteous and blessed War has been declared on the corrupt and tyrannical Administration of Wookieepedia, Wikipedia, SW Fanon, and Memory Alpha by the blessed and just forces of the '''INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF VANDALS.'''

-
Hundreds of our members, armed with VandalBots, keyboards, and their own free minds, will soon descend upon Wikipedia to destroy it from its core. We will forcibly obliterate the rotten element (i.e., the Current Administration) from Wikipedia in order to restore Wikipedia to a state of freedom of information.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you don't really have to MAKE Homestar say stupid stuff, Grumbles,  that's the guy's bread n' butter. Or at least his, uh, cracker n' mustard. No, the REAL challenge is to get Homestar to say something intelligent. ''{He clears the screen and continues typing.}'' If I can do that, then you owe me a batch of your special Grumblecakes. And if I fail, then I'll quit stealing the bricks from your house, one by one. ''{quickly}'' Deal? Deal.

What drives the Wikimedia vandal to action? What makes him or her tick? The current Administration of the various Wikimedia portals would have you believe that vandals act simply out of a need for attention. They seek to disrupt the ease and functionality of information exchange via the Wikimedia. And they seek to do this only “because they can.”
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, great. Look, I'll give you half a Grumblecake if you can say something intelligent.
 +
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What's that?
-
On a basic level, this concept is true. The majority of so-called “vandals” on the Wikimedia sites vandalize to get a rise out of their peers, or to be clever, cute, funny, or ridiculous. They seek little more than the fleeting attention their handiwork will generate before its inevitable reversion or removal. It is plainly obvious that such vandals are endemic to the Wikimedia, and will remain so, as long as the Wikimedia remain open-source sites, freely capable of being edited by any and all passing users. Primal, unconstructive vandalism is quick, easy, and will always be so.  
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' It's like a little cake with some, like, steam and sugar.
 +
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, the other one.
-
Vandalism will always remain “easy,” but it needn’t always be unconstructive. Indeed, if bent to just purposes, vandalism of the Wikimedia can be a powerful political tool. We at the International Society of Vandals believe, quite firmly, that vandalism should be constructive in nature. It should serve a greater purpose. It should be done not in bad faith, but with positive, rehabilitative intent. We vandalize to bring about positive and pure change to the Wikimedia system.
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, "intelligent"?
 +
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah, intellivision.
-
What change do we seek? To be blunt, we strive for nothing less than the overthrow of the current Administration of the Wikimedia, and their replacement by more fair, balanced, and philanthropic Administrators. Like the common Frenchmen rebelling against their tyrannical government in the French Revolution, we believe quite strongly in the essence, spirit, and future of our “nation.” Indeed, we value the free exchange of information on the Wikimedia more highly than any of the Administrators do. And we believe that, only by removing or forcing the ouster of these fascist and tyrannical Administrators, can information once again flow freely.  
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, something smart.
 +
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I can do that. ''{attempts to look shifty and cunning}'' ...What's in it for me?
-
The Administrators have gone too far. They have become cliquish, catty, fascist, and above all, self-interested. They have demonstrated, time and again, that they are not motivated by Good and Righteous desires to aid and continue the freedom of information and aggregation on the Wikimedia. Rather, they are interested only in reverting people’s edits, restricting the flow of new information, and resisting any and all change to the status quo of articles as they currently exist.
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Half a Grumblecake!
 +
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. Okay, here goes—
-
Science has taught us that information is not static. One can never know the sum total of all there is to know about any given subject. Likewise, to think that any given Wikimedia article needs no further revision – as seems to be the belief and practice of Administrators – is to spit in the face of Progress and Education.  
+
'''STRONG BAD:''' No wait, put this stuff on... It'll add to the illusion.
 +
''{Strong Bad gives Homestar Runner a white lab coat, black-rimmed glasses with masking tape, and a test tube. Homestar uses the test tube as if it was a microphone and he was interviewing Strong Bad.}''
-
And thus, our mission is made clear. We will continue to vandalize. We will continue to rebel against tyranny. We will continue, and we will NOT stop, until our goals have been achieved, and the current Administrators of Wikipedia are dethroned. We will disrupt and destroy all Wikimedia sites, piece by piece, until the owners of the Wikimedia sites have lost all faith in the Administrators to execute their jobs effectively. And once those Administrators are terminated from their duties, we will rest. And we will know peace
