Re: David Gerard's Wikipedia biography

Update: some unnamed nitwit creatures have expanded it to 23k bytes. As if he were a "prominent author" or some shit.

Re: wow, david gerard

Despite losting his main account powerz long ago, I still think he's running a sockpuppet (Maxim) that is currently serving as an arbitrator. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it (along with some hash to make the misery a bit more tolerable).

under current conditions he could request deletion and the wikipedians would probably comply
Possible, but not if he pissed off some officious little bastard. Then they would keep it just to mock him.

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

From a private email discussion: >> Look up the non-science fiction work of Samuel R. Delany; his novel Hogg (1969/1995) has one of the most grotesque title characters ever, a truck driver and rapist for hire who never bathes and craps in his pants, who is surrounded by a cast of characters who are ...

Re: Woke Wikipedians are trying to ban the Daily Telegraph now!

Patterns get corrected in the British system. This isn't America. We aren't retarded. Point taken, but just remember: one...

Re: Common names invented on Wikipedia

It also makes me think of the insane, abusive ways WP handles the creation and deletion of articles. Was reminded of this by the ugly story of the 2011 attempt to delete the Old Man Murray article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-03-07/Deletion_controversy Which menti...
