<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Encyclopædia Dramatica's history began when [[LiveJournal]] blogger and LJ Drama co-founder James Lee from [[Seattle, Washington]], started using [[Wikipedia]] and created an article about LiveJournal [[blogger]] Grayden Rayne (former legal name Joshua Williams). The article was subsequently deleted, despite LiveJournal users, including members of LJ Drama, lobbying to keep the article.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mediacrat]<br />
<br />
LiveJournal user and LJ Drama administrator Sherrod DeGrippo heard of the deletion of the LiveJournal-related article{{fact}}, and, as a response, came up with the idea of creating Encyclopædia Dramatica so LiveJournal users could write about "the internets"{{fact}}. DeGrippo stated in a Wikipedia discussion that "[avoiding] vanity pages and personal [[flame war]]s on wikipedia [sic] is the reason Encyclopedia Dramatica exists".[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Michael_Everson&diff=prev&oldid=12893918]<br />
<br />
In January of 2006, the [[troll organization]] [[Bantown]] used Encyclopædia Dramatica to announce they had hacked 900,000 LiveJournal accounts exploiting cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in LiveJournal's core code.<ref name=bantown>[http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/01/account_hijackings_force_livej.html Washington Post Reference to ED]</ref><br />

Most ED articles avoid a "neutral point of view" [http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/ED_is_not#ED_is_Not_Neutral] and encourage [[sarcasm]], [[hyperbole]], and other kinds of humor mocking the article's subject.{{fact}} ED articles are not required to be referenced or have any basis in fact.[http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Encyclopedia_Dramatica:Basic_Rules]<br />
