@spiders' contribution to the world this month was getting the Boops boops page locked for repeatedly changing the caption on an image from "A specimen in a bucket" to "Boops boops in a bucket"

there is a single wikipedia editor who has reverted the "Boops boops in a bucket" change repeatedly over the past year and a half, including a revert of an admin's edit, and who is the same one who requested the page locking, because apparently this one person can decide to put up a "no fun allowed" sign

if i had the energy i would continue poking the wasp's nest on a more formal dispute resolution page, because i really dislike these kinds of situations where a single wikipedian gets a little too involved in removing a fun cutesy thing, but i just cannot be assed to deal with wikipedian bureaucracy. so instead spiders is just going to get themself and probably most of comcast's seattle IP ranges banned for continuing to change the caption every few months when they remember to check it

After a Request for Comment, the Wikipedia community has determined that "Boops boops in a bucket" is the correct caption for that image.

here it is, in all its glory

What's the beef? "Boops boops in a bucket" is funny and technically correct and clearer than "A specimen in a bucket". It would pass muster in every scientific publication I've been involved with as author or reviewer. Why is it not good enough for Wikipedia? I looked at the history of that page and the reverter never provides a justification.

y'know i'm actually a little disappointed that elmidae hasn't left a pithy "you've won and you're destroying wikipedia" comment on the 'boops boops in a bucket :3' section of the talk page. they really seemed like the type to not drop the issue once consensus had been reached on the RfC.
