Splitting this article is unnecessary  its not too long yet  Pushing cruft off into another article might make this article cleaner  but it just creates another pit of crap that Wikipedia will have to clean up probably by deleting the entire list sometime in the future  We should take a stand on the cruft issue  find consensus  draw a line in the sand and defend it against efforts to bloat it   We certainly dont want this article to become List of Internet memes  The way to avoid that is to look to our roots  We have to stick to memes that are special to Slashdot  IMHO there are two categories of memes that are special to Slashdot and could be mentioned in the article   Those memes that were definitely started on Slashdot  which may or may not have spread to more widespread usage  If they started on Slashdot then we should be able to accurately reference down to a particular contribution  and name the originator and the circumstances of it spreading  We could perhaps enlist the help of slashdotters to do this  we could post an Ask Slashdot question for example  Some of them will remember the first instance of In soviet russia etc  Those memes which are disproportionately used on Slashdot compared to the internet as a whole   Thats tough to do  its going to be almost impossible to decide what the statistical prevelance of Slashdot use versus the Internet in generalit would be tough to set limits on just how much more prevelant they have to be in order to be notableand that information would be quite utterly impossible to reference   So my proposal is that memes started on Slashdot should be hunted out  referenced copiously and listed here as we find them  Memes that are merely in common use on Slashdot  but which originated elsewhere  should NOT be listed comprehensively here because we cant prove that they are used dispropotionately  and we cant reference that fact  We should limit ourselves to perhaps mentioning a small number of the most common ones in prose text  and vigorously defend the article from accumulating cruft as people try to extend that number      Proposal to deal with the Culture section  Please indicate consensus with either Agree or Disagree  if the latter please explain your alternative proposal  Proposal  The list of memes in the Culture section should be reduced to a smaller set of memes that were originated on Slashdot  each of which should be accompanied by some indication of when and how it got started  preferably with a link to the Slashdot thread where it started and the name of the originator   For memes that are in extremely common use on Slashdot  but which are in no way unique to Slashdot  we should pick a handful of the most common describe them in a prose section and work to avoid having that section turn into a cruftlist or grow significantly in number
