Re: RIPPIN' SLIPPIN' BARG-A-DING-DONG, JAMES RANDI DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't complain too much about Mr. Corbett---he's loads smarter than his usual gang of "enemies". Perhaps I should post the "Guerrilla Skeptics" material here again? Just for some yuks, since it's all a foregone conclusion by now.... A small reminder: https://web.randi.org/home/2017-jref-award And M...

Re: RIPPIN' SLIPPIN' BARG-A-DING-DONG, JAMES RANDI DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, at least you are honest in playing the jerk, which fits everything I've read about you. You really shouldn't believe everything you read. 8-) And as I haven't edited Wikipedia for well over a year now, I hardly think I can be categorised as a "Wikipedian". You are perfectly entitled to disagr...

Re: Easy way to rescue deleted articles?
I'd probably argue that most deleted articles deserved to have been deleted.
As do a great many that haven't been deleted.

Re: What's going on at WPU now?
Most of the traffic on the forum (which is a fraction of what it was in 2014) consists of people like Poetguy, a few admins, Kumioko (when he's not banned), Eric Corbett (when he's not banned), Somey, Wee Billy, and a few others talking about trivia. And occasional fart-splosions from Vigilant. As ...

Re: Crap or questionable articles

Re: Full list of WMF Wiki URLs by Guy Macon
