Yep, as you clarified later, she has been around ^v^'
But don't feel bad,... Wikipe-tan does strike a bit of nostalgia for me since she's the first Moe personification I ever met, who then led me to , ME-tan my firsts ever OS-tan.
Too bad we recently had a bit of a falling out with Wikipe-tan. -.-'
Yes, since I'm an avid Wikipedia reader, I've seen her multiple times. Wikipe-tan is indeed cute. :D
QuoteToo bad we recently had a bit of a falling out with Wikipe-tan. -.-'
Quite all right, C-Chan. Since the new wiki has been established and I saved the code from the old page, recovering shouldn't be too hard. Don't blame her - blame the admins. As they say about baseball, don't blame the mascots, blame the players!
yeah but her character design could have been at least a little more original and less loli, loose the jigsaw hairclips and she could be a character in "he is my master" lol
is there like any explanation to why she's a little girl? well i guess because she needs other people to tell her facts...true, but why the maid outfit.
Im not sure. I think the design is fitting... tho Im not a huge fan of the slapping random bits of whatever they represent too them. the best tans dont have any of that (like the original windows-tans) but I think its a good design personaly.
He is my master would have been alot more riskey and would have shown more skin -_-
tho.. i think the beachball is fitting and funny :P
Edit:
oh, and the first post in this thread currently dosent fit into the new Image policy, but I feel its harmless due to the size of the images. Ill discuss with the other mods.

Gosh! ;013
And perhaps I also avoided posting 720x720 pixel image just to accomplish policy! ;026 ;015
big pictures are our biggest problem, but we also want to avoid having a large amount of pictures flooding it too.. but as I said, they are really small and I dont think anyone would have a problem with this post
*puts an A Okay stamp on this thread.. for now*
those picture sizes are fine by me, and i'm even on relatively slow DSL
QuoteIll discuss with the other mods.
What other mods? Do you mean C-Chan? He's been here so long, he seems kinda like a mod...
Oh right,... in all technicality, the Captain is really the only Mod in this forum. -v-'
He should've said "Admins". ^__^
But 'nuff of that, Wikipe-tan = Cute and Forgivable. ^v^
*trots off*
well thats what I ment -_- I dont make policy so much as I enforce it. Wotta pain -_-

Same as mine! *think of the old day*
When I went to the Wikipedia Main Page on October 2, I saw Wikipe-tan in the
Today's featured picture section. Then, she links me to the Wikipe-tan article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan
It has links to OS-tan article. So I clicked it...
That's was the first time I know about OS-tan.
No wonder I joined this forum 2 days later, on Oct 4.
edit: I like her in shift JIS art. Cute!
Personally, I like this version of her:

I'm not a fan of loli types, especially in party dresses; but that's just a personal preference. You know, she must be a highly-informed gal!
;110
=^..^=
I approve this post! ^_^ I don't have problem with lolis, they're cute indeed :D
gosh she's cute ^_-
i love it! wikipe-tan is so cute. i was wondering how long it would take to find a good wiki-tan
Great!! soon we will have Os-tans for every thing also de Tv Channels :smoke:
As stated on the wikipedia article on this little Moe here, it's Wikipe-tan, not Wiki-tan
Heh....the person who made wikipe-tan is on devArt.

OMG that's awesome *adds him/her to my watchlist*
That's pretty cool. Maybe I can make a tan too
That's a dude, I believe. ^^
And sure, people have made their own original personifications here. I just draw a few of them. ^^
Me too... -v-
I bring them along, in fact. ^__^
The sock puppet bit was cute!
Wikipe-tan is very nice. i'm a regular wikipedia user and i think its one of the best reference site i have ever seen. wikipe-tan needs more fans! she deserves it :/ hehehe.
I've seen her before!
I saw her when I was researching on wikipedia about Anime for my senior paper.
wow!!!
This is my first time to see Wikipe-tan
She's cute and loli i think...
But she's not my type..
Did I step into the lolicon-tan????? :P
