Re: Abd Lomax died
Sorry to hear it. He was unquestionably annoying quite often and had some kooky ideas, but did considerable useful work for those ungrateful Wikipedians.

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR
Eric, can you dig up your book wiki notes about Katherine Maher? There isn't a lot in there, that wasn't already posted on this forum. She came along late in the history. By that time I'd given up on keeping track of the endless revolving door of obscure figures. But here's the main gist of it. She...

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR
Meanwhile meanwhile, there was a WPO thread . Which started in January wondering if the WMF board fired Maher. They are barely mentioning this new NPR development, because "meh, it's just right-wing media trash". Not exactly true. Katherine is an exceptional bullshit artist. When properly motivated....

Re: New WPO blogpost - "Nihonjoe Has Been Naughty"
Is someone starting to snipe at Eric Jepson? You betcha.....Drmies is. Jepson's talkpage was already filling up with people criticizing him for posting non-notable or junk articles.

Re: Other Bad Wikipedia Admins
one could write a whole book about Bishonen's stupidity. Unfortunately she and Giano are joined at the hip, and since Giano has been scarce since 2022, that fun little coupling might be over. See Giano's block log for more "fun". :jerkoff: PS: it was a LOT longer. He changed his username several tim...

Re: Section 230 is in trouble -- at last !
