Actually, ED
is a Wikipedia fork, much the way the Comixpedia wiki is:
it was set up when a number of articles the founders thought important
were deleted by VfD.
ED and Uncyclopedia are two forks which benefit Wikipedia in two ways -
they provide a place to blow off steam from Wikipedia and they provide a
place for all the random Internet shite and bloggerel which may in some
way be interesting to someone but is in no way particularly encyclopedic.
Uncyclopedia is not a fork, it's a parody, and a damn funny one.
