The Propaganda Department has reported that after the recent updates The People's Glossary has reached the maximum number of characters allowed in the database entry - and that's after the entire room full of undocumented programmers from Mexico meticulously cleaned up the code, ridding it of all unnecessary stuff.

If you need to know, the updates were as follows:

• Added a NOTE just below the list,
  
• Updated The People entry
  
• Updated Non-People entry
  
• Added Dead-Americans entry (Necro-Proxies)

Considering the growing need for new entries and the limited amount of space, perhaps it's time to start a People's Wiki (or Cubepedia as Chairman suggested). It's a free Wikipedia program that allows to collaborate and add content without the knowledge of HTML - but you must know your computer stuff anyway, I guess. This has to be done by a volunteer because the Propaganda Department is too busy to handle it right now.

https://www.pmwiki.org/

I can install it on the Cube server and format it to match the Cube in appearance, then others can transfer the Glossary content to it and then everybody will be able to add their articles, just as with Wikipedia. As a protection against Mimes, we will have to limit access to authorized users - but that's not hard. All Cubists can be included

I think DKos now has their Marxopedia or watever it's called - apparently because Wikipedia is too objective and not slanted enough for them - and we all know that objectivity repels radical activists even more strongly than soap does.

Ours will be an even more progressive Marxopedia than theirs. We need a good name for it too!

*Nervously looking around to consider whether this is sufficiently constructive*

I think Cubepedia is an excellent name. Others that come to mind:

Progressopedia, CollectivePedia, ThePeople™Pedia, of course Hillarypedia

People'sPowerPedia.

Fantastic idea!

For names, maybe something along the lines of:
The People's Manifesto
Manifestopedia

We can format it just like "The Communist Manifesto".

Just a thought.

Long Live The Party.

Oooo, how about simply "PCpedia? That denotes two progressive ideas in one? Plus it just rolls off the tongue easily. Not to be confused with personal computer (which of course will no longer exist in our worker's paradise) and Pepsi Cola (which will also disappear from the workers food shelves).

I agree with naming it Cubepedia, but how about a slogan underneath, such as "we do it for the Children ™"

I like Marxopedia. Cubeopedia is a little hard to say, and the progressopedia might be confused with the evil kkkapitalist Progresso Soup Company.

Instead of the Wikipedia puzzle ball logo (or whatever the Hell the damn thing is called), we can have a more progressive jigsaw puzzle version of the People's Cube as the logo... an already solved jigsaw puzzle version of the People's Cube, mind you.

Is a puzzle ball even physically possible? I can't figure out how they even came up with that design. It makes my head hurt.

Why would it not be possible Premier, particularly a progressive ball?

How about GoodThinkPedia? Nah, too long.

ProPedia has a nice ring to it and of course the Pro has multiple meanings, on the other hand it sounds like a medicine.

p³pedia or peoples³pedia? That would be cool and progressive.

I dunno, the ball in the picture look hollow, and if it did work, it would be really fragile. I think they might have been on crack when they came up with that design.

Maybe we are going about this in the wrong way. Instead of doing "pedia", we should be using "encyclo".

Example:
EncycloCube
EncycloThink
EncycloDoAsWeSayorElse

Don't you remember the Dyson sphere from that old Star Trek? No reason for it to be fragile, it would be like a continuous arch if done right.

I do like the idea of the cube, maybe with a few squares out of it in the manner of the wikipedia symbol.

Unfortunately ...pedia has become the standard. Even the Dkosies had dKosopedia - https://www.dkosopedia.com - which in the Mother tongue sounds like a hybrid between a goat and a moped, or simply "a branch of science about motorized she-goats". Now, whether it's about maintenance of motorized goats, or driving skills, or safety measures, I don't know. Were they talking about he-goats, it would be "Koslopedia," but then a Kosloped would also mean a "motorized dumbass." Of course such words don't exist - yet - but dkosopedia also didn't exist until recently.

Perhaps we can think of all the terms that point at our progressive identity, and add ...pedia (e.g., GroupthinkPedia, Truthopedia, Partypedia, Laikapedia, Commiepedia, sociopedia, proletpedia, ...)

Encyclo... doesn't sound bad, however, and shouldn't be taken off the table.

I actually like Laikapedia (with the picture of Laika in the corner, with the slogan about transmitting signals to liberal tinfoil hats since 1957). There's an article about her in Laika section...

GoodThinkPedia? Somehow I just love that term, GoodThink.

Totalipedia? I know all of us here are all Totalipedians. Hmmm... let me think... yeah, I like Laikapedia... but does everyone instantly recognize Laika the Space Dog as being something associated with progress/communism etc. right away? Hmmm... Wiccapedia (for Hillary, of course).... uhhh.... Propapedia? Agitpropedia? Collectivepedia?

Ooooo, good one Chairman! But perhaps spell it Totalopedia as that seems to roll off the tongue better.

Yes I agree, Totalopedia sounds and speaks easily. Just my .501 Rouble.

-Mikhail (AKA: AK)

I like both Totalopedia and Agitpropedia. The latter is more suitable, I think, but I don't know how much most English speakers are familiar with the word Agitprop and how they will react when they see it.

Totalopedia may also mean "encyclopedia that has totally everything" and may be associated with the airhead pop culture. Which in itself could totally be a viable commercial project if anyone wants to take it on. All the latest trendy stuff, gossip, celebs, etc. It could have an ironic angle, showing how absurd a lot of that totally is.

We want our title to have only one meaning and only one association - that with communism/socialism and/or the means to achieve it (useful tools).

Then there's also the audience to whom it is "addressed" - the useful idiots. It could also be Moonbatpedia, Leftiepedia, or something in that area.

Then again, considering we already have Gulagosphere we can also have Gulagopedia.


And that would be the Wiki puzzle globe there, behind the barbed wire.

Oh my! I think that should be the one, though I did like my Peoples3 thingy. But you are right as usual! How can you beat Gulagopedia? The only possible problem I can think of is that some idiots may not know what Gulag means.... but they will.... they will!

Sociopedia? A connection with sociopathy?

To echo some of Red's concerns, it needs to end i -pedia, and needs to have something instantly recognizable as moonbat. The current moonbat rage du jour is of course that secular religion global warming, which is nothing but a religious service in the Church of Gaia, but Gaiapedia is rather obscure.

The stalking horse is of course The People. Peoplepedia is illiterative; with a Greek slant, which I am for obvious reasons partial to, it would be Demopedia, which might also serve as an insult to a certain national party given over to utter despotic control.

Re-Edupedia, Authoripedia, Politpedia, Proletpedia was a good one, Workerspedia, Oppressipedia, Bolshepedia, Kremlipedia, Coercipedia, Pinkopedia???

I tried to Google this to confirm it before coming in here so I wouldn't look like an idiot, but I had no success, so I'll have to base this on what I thought I already knew--but what about the Russian word for people?

Isn't it something like mil or myl or mila?

Years ago when I was perusing a baby name book, it included Russian names like Ludmila (with various spellings) and I gathered the "mila" suffix meant "people." That's basically my entire source for making this post.

So if you tried "milapedia"--a mix of (I'm assuming) Russian and Greek to mean "people's education"? Though it also sounds a bit like a creepy crawly bug with lots of legs.

But if I'm way off on this, then I'm off to do more shoveling.

Then maybe also, ThePeople'sPedia?
ProgressPedia?

Well, this Commissar is going to continue to kiss up to the Dear Leader and vote for Gulagopedia.... that is until someone else offers me something better to kiss up for. Besides, we already have the icon ready for Gulagopedia.

Ooh, Gulagopedia. I like that one. Better than Marxopedia. It represents how our minds are free to roam just like those treated to our all expense paid re-education resorts.

Gulagopedia surely brings back fond memories of mornings target practice with the "guests." They were PC (political criminals) before PC was even cool!

Hey, that might make a good t-shirt as well!

"I Was PC (political criminal) When PC Wasn't Cool"

We need a good image to accompany it. Anyone have any good ideas?

Oooo, the Pup's creative juices are flowing today along with other discharges...

How about a whole line of shirts such as:

My family sent me to the Gulag and all I got was this lousy bullet!

This of course can lead to My Collective, My Village, My Boss, My Commissar etc. sent me to the Gulag and all I got was this lousy bullet, this watery gruel, this dull shovel...

Perfect!!!

Although I think the sphere/puzzle thingy (I still don't understand how it's possible for that thing to not fall apart under its own weight) needs to be a little redder. I know it's kinda hard to overlay in red without making one part seem overly red, and the rest looking pink.

Premier Betty wrote:...I think the sphere/puzzle thingy...needs to be a little redder. I know it's kinda hard to overlay in red without making one part seem overly red, and the rest looking pink.

I changed the image above to reflect the edit. The reds are now darker - is that better?

Regarding the technique of changing the color, it's not difficult at all, it's actually on it's own layer, so I can change it however I want and the rest of the image will remain untouched. The Gulag guy and the text are also on their own layers, as well.

Hope you like it!.
-Mikhail

I think it is excellent Comrade! Would this humble Commissar the power, he would decree the issue settled!

Premier Betty wrote:(I still don't understand how it's possible for that thing to not fall apart under its own weight)

It could and probably wound with some pieces missing as in the icon, in much the same way an arch bridge would collapse if the keystone was missing. But once all the stones are in place, said bridge can stand for thousands of years with nothing to hold it together but the forces of the weights against each stone supporting the others.

There is a lesson in this for us I think. Sure, proles are a dime a dozen, as are the useful idiots we employ, and as such can be disposed with at our whim for disappointing us or even just for the sheer fun of disposing of some now and then.

But for our Party to remain strong, to stand throughout time, each and every one of us party members are a stone in the arch bridge of progressive progressiveness, with the superiority of having co-keystones, the Many Titted Empress and Red Square!

*Oh, I hope the party buys this! For that would be extension make you Commissar Pupovich a vital stone!*

Commissar Pupovich wrote:I think it is excellent Comrade! Would this humble Commissar the power, he would decree the issue settled!

Oh, not settled yet - I'm still considering that logo 'just a draft', and definitely still very much up for review.

It does have a good look, though.

-Mikhail

For those who do not like your logo, this Commissar can only use that wonderful phrase the Chairman has taught us.... Against the Wall!

Commisar Pupovich: I could never, ever take credit for coining "against the wall". Such a phrase is the unique property of the People and the Party and no one man/womyn/it/questioning existence could ever rob phrases from the People... especially one that sums up our overall policy for humanity.

Mikhail - Great image. Now we must all wait for Comrade Red Square's criticism of such a noble contribution on behalf of the People. Only he can judge the worthiness of one's work for he alone has bribed everyone within the Artist Union.

True enough Chairman, but you recently used the term so effectively it warmed my heart.

Looks great. I'm a little overwhelmed with some other Party business right now (exposing Bollinger as a traitor and a Bush puppet who has lured Mahmoud into a trap at Columbia and betrayed all the useful idiot supporters out there in the street protesting against Bush).

I'll get back to it at a later time.

Now we need a volunteer with enough time on his/her/its hands who is familiar with setting up a Wiki and moving the content...

Mikhail, I am in awe of your graphic. And the reds are great. But I'm not really sure about the pieces of the puzzle. I love the barbed wire, but could the world be in chains, or could the letters be replaced with guns, garrotes, gibbets, and knives?

I vote for Gulagopedia.

That is barbed wire? I don't see that as a barbed wire fence.... I see that as one of those huggy things, the world embracing progressiveness!

That's got my vote.... Oh wait a minute this isnt a Democracy...... Or its a Democracy that The Party tm runs

Yes! I second Theocritus in his plea for the world to be in chains and for wonderful tools of progress to replace the symbols and other crap. I recall a Victor Vashi cartoon which a commissar dreaming of a world in chains.

But I love the barbed wire... look at it, it is like the hugs you see on the web (((((Gulag))))

OK, give me some time. I just got my hands on a HUGE picture of the puzzle piece world thing, so I'll be able to change the glyphs to something more progressive. Anyone have any special requests for items? Tell me now.

I'll defer to our glorious leader on the issue of the chains, only for the fact that the barbed wire is consistent with the logo already in use (Gulagosphere). And I kind of like the barbed wire - it denotes the whole "gulag" thing, but the decision is up to the collective, of course.

Like I said, give me some time. I'm up to my banana clip in duties on the collective farm, so I'll work on it when I have some down time. I'll take my time with it and make it nice For The Party™ and for the Common Good™.

May all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly.
-Mikhail

On second thought, barbed wire is just chains writ large. What about coiled razor wire?

I still think that the letters ought to be replaced by guns, knives, bombs &c. After all, why letters? Educated people are harder to control--witness the entire <i>raison d'être</i> for the NEA. Samizdat press was by definition hidden.

As long as we keep the curved barbed wire or razor wire posts... it just reminds me so much of the ((( Gulag ))) hug!

I know I'm resurrecting a dead thread here, but I saw it in the related articles section after our glorious update:

Personally, I like the Cubpedia or PCPedia, and I would so love to read the Mime article. That one would easily be the most hotly debated article on this site.

Might I suggest the Al Gore page be green instead of red?
