Lol, I've seen that soooo many times......it's why they have a "Pokemon test". Which most Pokemon nerds ignore anyway.

Re: wow, david gerard

And, with that, he finally backs away from Wikipedia. Dream on. He'll return, with sock accounts, inevitably. https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/reliable-sources-how-wikipedia-admin That's still a really nice item. But as far as I can tell, the only people who read it were a few disgruntled LessWr...

Re: wow, david gerard

looks like Gerard resigned before anyone put the boot in. link lol, and he said he would resign as bureaucrat, and no one should vote for him..... I thought about this today and realised: if I had an RFA, would I vote for me? And the answer is, no, I probably wouldn't. Simply from inactivity. I'm n...

Re: Pointing at white people and screaming "RACIST!"

They did a good number on DiAngelo--she's doing this not because she really cares about POC, she's doing it because IT IS A BUSINESS. Now, six months into Trump II, when the Mighty President and his acolytes are running around the country trying to destroy and demonize all DEI programs......DiAngelo...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

Yes, doing what even Lou Reed did in 1964 is a fakery of the highest order. Ha ha, good point. Lou was doing a lot of stupid things in '64, the "golden age" of the Brill Building garbage song factory and its endless stream of "one hit wonders". It is no surprise at all that he was already a heroin ...

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

I don't think Rogan or Bet-David are brilliant guys, but they have large audiences and have had famous guests (Alex Jones did Bet-David's Valutainment show, while Elon Musk has been on The Joe Rogan Podcast .) Don't know about Musk, since Bet-David almost develops a chubby when it's time to critici...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Araw VERY obscure experimental musician. Major contributor: Roosterjack , who has edited almost nothing else on en-wiki. And all last year.

Re: Proposal for Closing Wikinews

I should point out: this was almost entirely the work of longtime WP editing addict Koavf. basically all of the criticisms are accurate, although I might add the Russian Wikinews is said to be controlled by Russian propaganda people. "It looks like they just use the RSS feeds automatically generated...

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

We cannot let Wikipedia bury things over and over, like they tried with the Patrick Bet-David BLP (which is still standing....for now.) Agreed. That was the THIRD AFD for Bet-David's article. Obviously the insiders dislike him and want to "vanish" him, and obviously (made inescapable when the Bushr...
