 | This page in a nutshell: Not everything Stephen Colbert says needs to be included in Wikipedia. |
The Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A., the world's ballsiest pundit, is a godsend to mankind. He speaks the truth as no man before him has done. Every word out of his blessed mouth is a treasure and should be treated with dignity and respect. They should be recorded in the same way that the words of Jesus were recorded 2000 years ago when he said, "in 2000 years, I will come back as a brilliant pundit named Stephen Colbert." (The Bible) It logically follows that Stephen Colbert is Jesus Christ.
But unfortunately, that doesn't mean that everything he says can be included in Wikipedia. For one thing, he says an awful lot and Wikipedia just doesn't have the server space to include all his spectacular punditry. Please consider donating to the Wikimedia Foundation. 10% of all donations go to The Colbert Fund. 85% of proceeds go to Jimbo Wales, with the remainder going to the Foundation. Secondly, the Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. holds copyright to everything he says, and including it all in Wikipedia would violate copyright law. Third, in much the same way as when Jesus turned wine into water, Colbert sometimes, but extremely rarely, makes a mistake that needs to be scrubbed from the record. Which is why the bible now correctly says that Jesus turned water into wine. So in line with our policy on biographies of living persons, we afford Colbert and his legal team the opportunity to pre-edit any comments that he may or may not have said.
Quotes specifically approved by the Colbert legal staff are appropriate for adding to Wikipedia.
