Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....
BD2412 Bruce Abramson. "Well known as administrator BD2412, he has been a major contributor to Wikipedia's otherwise-spotty coverage of American law. He has also shown blind patriotic zeal towards "protecting" Wikipedia, and supporting other administrators, right or wrong. Otherwise Bruce is a rema...

Re: subtle vandalism may persist
Personally have not seen any outstanding examples of subtle vandalism recently. Though I could fill up a long thread with examples of bad writing on WP content.
Vandalism continues to be stupid and obvious 99.99% of the time, and this continues to be even more stupid. And incomplete.

Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....
So far so good. I'd suggest adding their personal interests from their "Top edits" page.
(If possible. Apparently XTools recently implemented an option where a wiki-asshole can disable their XTools pages for anyone not logged in. Bbb23 is using it--predictably.)

Re: Zoloft plans to increase the number of mods
Several arbitrators were kicked off or even banned. Correct, and evidence is difficult to find. I could rattle off a long list of arbitrators who quit during their terms, were forced out, and/or were later banned. Some of the worst things happened pre-2008, when Wales still ran Arbcom like a privat...

Re: Zoloft plans to increase the number of mods
As a former WPO moderator, I will make a side bet with you: those idiots will have great difficulty finding anyone willing to put up with the Zoloft/Tarantino/Jake "Management Style". Of being intolerant of outside opinions, sneaky, furtive, paranoid, and stabby-backy. And not tolerating "doxing" un...

Re: Scotland implodes
The UK press covers the story with their usual "panache"
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceq3w7lq95jo
