Brilliant. Makes me wonder how well it'd work on english wiki - the joke is great, but not sure the sign itself has the same meaning as in Russia and too, Slovakia where I'm from

Well, we could try. But usually all that seems fun for us got tons of downvotes there.
Depends - a few articles, say the Foundation departments, or I think a mars probe, I think worked.
And, the thing is, I don't think anyone has ever made this joke before in our Foundation.
Okay. We will discuss this and maybe will give it a try. Thanks for the feedback anyway.
Well now VAElynx, did you know that initiative is punishable by performance?
I did, but this was funny enough that I decided to sacrifice my diligent efforts on the altar of collective success >:3 (read, I wasn't arsed to do something more useful)
As for the proofreading, hmm. Most of it seems fine, and nice equivalent gesture.
Experiments with SCP-1150 are suspended indefinitely due to lack of qualified researchers and also the fact that every available Class D subject is busy working the Area 22/13 household plot due to food shortage.
I'd put this one as something like (of course, feel free to modify, I added a silly crossout which you might not like)
Experiments with SCP-1150 are suspended indefinitely due to absence of qualified researchers and lack of available test subjects; all Area 22/13 D-class personnel have been assigned to Bio Research Areal-1 household plot in order to alleviate present food shortage.
MTF Phi-13, "Broke Blokes" is tasked with working with the locals, but does not carry said task out, as all MTF operatives are on an ongoing strike due to not having been paid their allowance for the ██ last months.
MTF Phi-13, "Broke Blokes" is assigned to work with the local populace in order to conceal the existence of SCP-1150-J. on an ongoing strike due to not having received their salary for the last ██ months.
After SCP-1150 was contained and the warden was questioned and severely reprimanded, the latter was issued two (2) bottles of 80 proof amnestic. As a side effect, his arrears in wages were partly amnestified as well.

Even if you don't change it, it's fine as-is - perhaps the most important change was the last one.
I very much hope it will survive .. seems like people either don't get it at all, or find it hillarious.
In case it's a flop, well, responsibility is clearly mine. =^.^;=
I'm watching the translation. It seems that it's sinking out there.
Hey, it's at +2 already.
Oh, great! I'll stay tuned anyway.
P.S.: Glad to know that you're still around, VAE.
Hah, thanks. I was away for a while, but couldn't stay gone for long - I figure if someone will want to get rid of me they'll have to scoop me with a shovel, and toss out of the window.

There's no actual joke here.
Fatality. Usually, when some of the Big Bosses leaves negative comment - object is doomed.
Ehh. Bright dislikes most things - this was expected.
It's just that this joke is actually above the belt.
above the belt
For me it looks like some kind of "cultural barrier". As we say in Russia "What is good for a Russian, is deadly for a German".
Just compare the ratings of such -J-objects like Butt Ghost, Ghost Sign and that fat chicken-eating guy in American and Russian branches - highly upvoted on English wiki and heavily downvoted on the Russian one.
I'd argue it's more to with site culture. Man-eating-chicken is real old, and half the joke is Gears the character laughing.
Butt Ghost - I hate it and so does a lot of people, but it really is a very OTT making fun of bad articles that looked almost like it, which there was a rash of when it was posted.
Sign …yeah. I don't know why other people find it funny. For me it's resemblance to something from a DnD session.
Hmm, maybe so-called Russian Humour Factor is a memetic SCP prevalent in eastern block countries? Infection causes person to become susceptible to certain kinds of joke. *brick'd*
Wow. Seems like we're winning in this glorious battle. For now.
And two days later, it's at +24, which I think means it is there to stay. Congratulations to GeneR and theTBAPb.
thanks!
I wonder if it's legal to post all the comments in this section in English.
Why not?
слегка не понимаю почему обсуждения велись на английском, но всё же
Обьект смешной, концовка класс
5.0
1150-J был изначально написан без плашки -RU, поэтому первые комменты были не от русских пользователей, а потом пришли русские, которые из солидарности тоже стали писать на английском, потом и Особист на английском стал писать
Всё)
Да и не забывай, тогда были другие времена: 2013 год
Это объект, перенесенный с рувики на англовики. Это оригинальная статья. Кроме прочего, дополнительные правки не уместны.
