UDWiki:Did You Know

Community Portal – General Discussion – Wiki Questions – Featured Articles – Did You Know

Shortcut: DYK Did You Know? This is the project page for coordinating the content of the "Did You Know" section on the Main Page and Community Portal. DYKs are short, factual quips to reveal interesting facts on Urban Dead. It's important that these facts are neutral and no more than 200 words. The Did You Know template is to be updated once a week from the selection of DYKs, with the ones waiting the longest being added first, limited to a max of roughly 10 (depending on the length). Did You Knows should be Urban Dead (or zombie) related and should be duplicates.

It's gonna need explaining, I think... When? D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 00:48, 2 April 2009 (BST)

• ...that Danversbank has two mobile phone masts? - Originally submitted by The Rooster

Only the mast on the Barrow Building works, by the way. We conducted an experiment to find out for sure. We call the one on top of the Poulet Museum the phantom phone mast. --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 19:02, 30 March 2009 (BST)

I knew that, I'd happened across the info on the MPM talk page a while back. Worth mentioning that only one works you think? --  RoosterDragon  19:13, 30 March 2009 (BST)

• ...that Paynterton also has two mobile phone masts? - Originally submitted by The Rooster

• ...the Survivor to Zombie Ratio was once 69% to 31% in favour of the zombies, the greatest imbalance for either side since official logging began? - Originally submitted by The Rooster

  So basically, you're not counting anything like the very first statistic listed on that page because stats.csv didn't exist until around the time of Yahoomas? May interest you. Or This, this, this. All good measures if the issue is recorded history. --Karek^maps?! 01:41, 6 April 2009 (BST)

Without a link or something to the backstory behind Finis, the quip is meaningless to those who don't already know of his zerging. --  RoosterDragon  23:08, 1 April 2009 (BST)

A bit POV. Suggesting rewording as ...that one man has lead the largest survivor group, zombie group and pker group? Linkthewindow  Talk  22:48, 5 April 2009 (BST)

Disregard that. It's kind of hard to make text about someone NPOV (although I'm being a tad pedantic.) I'm not against it's inclusion however. Linkthewindow  Talk  22:52, 5 April 2009 (BST)

Danke. --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n} 01:13, 6 April 2009 (BST)
