Talk:Ian Brandon Anderson

We need a plausible theory of when Chris became CChanSonichuCWC (as in explaining the weight differences, that sort of thing). --Champthom 02:43, 16 August 2009 (CEST)

Isnt cwcki more of a documentation of chris's life rather then satirical like ED? would it not make sense then to eliminate all references of chris as Ian, even here, and here instead just explain why people started using the name IBA? I also dislike it as its confusing and basically taking limel;ight off of chris and celebrating the trolls, chris trolls himself mostly --Bentduck 12:14, 10 August 2010 (PDT)

True, it is pretty confusing. I support this. --GandWuser 12:24, 10 August 2010 (PDT)

Pff, no. --Sonijew is back 05:45, 11 August 2010 (PDT)

This page is unfunny and encourages newfaggotry. I know we play all this in character with pages on trolls like Clyde Cash and the like, but this is going too far. Can we please nuke all the roleplaying bullshit in this article and make it a simple summary of the name itself and the annoying meme it spawned? It's not like the events in it aren't already covered in other articles in greater detail, and anyone new to Chris-Chan coming to this article for an explaination are just going to end up confused. If CWCki's purpose is to inform and explain about Chris, then this article is like the anti-CWCki --Old meme 10:03, 23 July 2011 (PDT)

The majority of this shit was folded into Liquid Chris a long time ago, when that article was extensively rewritten. With the blessings of the powers that be, somebody should read through it carefully, compare it with Liquid Chris, move over any remaining interesting bits, and then redirect it to Liquid Chris.

Supporting this. --Old meme 04:22, 24 July 2011 (PDT)

• I'm with Dude on this. I'll see what I can do over the weekend. Nullity 14:40, 24 July 2011 (PDT)

Can't we just delete everything except the first section, then completely rewrite what's left, so it's just reporting that, "hey, here's a thing that happened!"? Personally, I think the whole Ian thing's kinda funny... to a point. Giantgroundsloth 14:12, 24 July 2011 (PDT)

The patient has survived

And the operation was a complete sucess! I'm happy to report that I removed the big nasty tumour that was Ian jokes from this article and turned it into an actual CWCki article. No more will it be laughed at by the other articles for it's defiency of information and poor humour. It was difficult though. Ian Brandon Anderson is a pretty...old meme...*sunglasses* YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! --Old meme 05:04, 29 July 2011 (PDT)

• That joke was terrible. I'm sorry. --Old meme 05:05, 29 July 2011 (PDT)

• I had to read it twice to get it but it's good, well played, sir. --Champthom 07:10, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

Fucking Christ. --Sonijew is back 06:59, 7 August 2011 (PDT)

lol

Yeah...This article is shit. It's unfunny, it's confusing to new readers, it serves no purpose, it doesn't properly cover relevant information, there's no real information in this article that isn't already in Liquid Chris, it encourages stupid Ian jokes, and it breaks CWCki policy in several ways, off the top of my head I'm thinking CWCki:NPOV and CWCki:NOTED. So i've rewrote it so it's informative and it serves an actual purpose. If people don't like how insulting it is to newfags, you can tone it down. That's why you have an edit button too. But you can't revert a legitimate article back into a shitty one unless you have a legitimate reason for it, otherwise what you're doing is vandalism. --Old meme 06:59, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

• Ah ha, but the NOTED policy would suggest that article's aren't suppose to be funny to begin with so that shouldn't be an issue. However, I am divided on this. On the one hand, you have made the article informative to those new to Chris and provide background to those wondering "Who the hell is Ian Brandon Anderson and what does he have to do with Chris?" On the other hand, it sorta violates the CWCki's norm of being in universe. In universe, we treat Chris as Ian mostly because Chris reads the CWCki and if he ever bothered to read it, I'm sure it would piss him off but that would violate our policy of using the CWCki to troll Chris. I'm inclined to believe that clarity precedes humor and as such, I will leave it as it is. Of course, that's also because I'm too stressed to go to the trouble of undoing all the work you just put in so in any case, nice work. If anyone else wants to, I guess they can though Old Meme has made a good argument.--Champthom 07:09, 8 August 2011 (PDT)
  • Thankee kindly Champ. As I already stated above, if anyone has a problem with the agressive tone the article takes, you're free to edit out blatant insults if you so choose. I have no problem with trying improve the article or edit it further, I just believe that undoing everything to revert it to Ian jokes and animated gifs is a step backwards. --Old meme 07:18, 8 August 2011 (PDT)
