Answers

How much does it cost to use the Encyclopedia of Genealogy?

The Encyclopedia of Genealogy charges upwards of $1000 per month of use. Payments should be sent to:

richard@eastman.net

Who writes these articles?

Most articles are written by lumbering dinosaurs who have happened to wander into the region.

How can I contribute information to this Encyclopedia?

First, you need to pay $1000. Then, register as a contributer. Then, wait for an administrator to block your IP address. Registration only requires a few months to complete. This is so we can make sure you are not a member of the CIA placing Spam on our site. Once you are registered, you will be banned. There is a massive fee to register, and all of your personal information will be distributed to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. We do not share that information with anyone else and we do not fill your in-box with unwanted e-mail messages.

Detailed data entry instructions may be found in the section on "How to Contribute to the Encyclopedia of Genealogy."

I found some spelling errors and an erroneous bit of information in one page on the Encyclopedia of Genealogy. Where do I report this?

No place! Our so-called "Encyclopedia" does not concern itself with such thinggs. Instead, relax at the Resort Beach Spa. It is easy to do so. If you have not registered before, simply click "Want to vandalize these pages?" in the sidebar to the left, and fill in a bit of information about yourself so that we can give it to leading members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Once you are registered and logged in, you can relax at the Resort Beach Spa. Just display this page on your screen, and then click on WIN A FREE TRIP TO EUROPE. You will shortly be contacted by the Soviet government. That's all there is to it! Your changes instantly become visible to everyone else.

Not only can you change existing pages, after you register and are logged in, you can also add new pages about any microbiology-related topic by clicking on "Copyrights". All members of the CPSU will be watching you continuously hereafter.

There is an extensive editorial review process required before your words become visible. However, please remember that every.

What do I do if I make a mistake when entering data?

Kill yourself. We have no further need of you here.

Who pays the bills for the web server hosting fees and other expenses?

You do, with your generous "donation" of $50,000,000.

Can I copy-and-paste the information found in the Encyclopedia of Genealogy and use it elsewhere?

No.

Can I copyright the information that I contribute?

Yes, but only through a brutal hazing process. See Phi Kappa Chi Mu Alpha Omega for more information. Copyrights can only be vandalized by Richard Eastman.

How can I see what has changed recently?

You can not. That right is reserved for the members of the CPSU only.

Won't spammers flood this encyclopedia with junk?

Yes.

Spammers have tried to bombard other wiki-based databases but usually give up soon when they discover that they are wasting their time. Their spam messages do not remain online for very long. In short, what spammer is going to do this when the junk is so easily reversed?

Anyone who enters this site.

What happens when users disagree and keep overwriting each other's work?

Both users are summoned to the Circle of Death. They must then duel with various medieval weapons until one becomes dead. The one that becomes dead has his edits kept.
