Re: Full list of WMF Wiki URLs by Guy Macon

Re: So.....how is your "mood"?

Where did Vigilant post the maps? They are prob. already outdated. This season is now the worst in recorded history. And there's still 2 more months to go....today large chunks of Oregon are on fire and the "authorities" are screaming that Portland might burn. Don't start me again on PG & E. Fuckers...

The threads are being edited now. A large proportion of posts have been removed.
There you are: clear proof that Wikipediocracy is "censored for their deep pleasure".

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

There might be more here but it looks like it was a proposed deletion , from none other than Grandpa Goth himself . Ha ha, I missed that. Good find. (Alison tells me that Gerard is currently on a demented crusade to remove all of the tens of thousands of links to the Daily Mail on en-WP. Lol.) Famo...

Re: slobbering for money AGAIN

It's getting to the point where they are running these stupid things on a quarterly basis. And no way to predict when the begging starts/stops.

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

It appears that Larry Kudlow has just got himself a paid editor. Who only wants to make Larry look nice. Funny that.

Re: Users retiring from Wikipedia

Also, zhis user edited Wikipedia for more than 10 years, then left over an absurd topic ban. The principles set up by Jimmy Wales count for nothing.
