Re: The depressing reality of Wikipedia's in built and apparently unfixable racism

Like Wikimedia UK is going to appoint some random nobody, who are we kidding? Shah walks in the footsteps of giants. :lol: IMO, most of the WMUK "principals", or the directors, to date, have been complete scrubs and twats. And you don't even DARE to ask them about the pre-2010 Wikimedia UK, as it w...

Re: Feedback request: Project to show bias in wikipedia articles

I want as a project to create a version of wikipedia that can show the bias it has. I'm thinking about processing it's history, then somehow displaying the bias on how the article's content was manipulated through it's history. Just a free warning: What you are proposing is a MASSIVE job. I tried t...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Brewing_Company It looked VERY different--until this freak showed up in 2009 and totally rewrote it. Which no longer points out something people from upstate NY knew for decades, that Utica Club was one of the worst beers in America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

Re: Compliments to the Crow!

https://archive.is/a6d14 and I continue to deny thinking up any of the joke-things. In fact I would not be surprised if David Gerard and Oliver Keyes were the primary authors of many of them. Our little Wiki-Luvers can be extremely cruel to each other. if we're gonna post stupid animations now, hav...

Re: Compliments to the Crow!

well, this is "moderately amusing", tho not as hilarious as, say, watching the Encyclopedia Dramatica incels shrieking at each other.

Re: The "attention vampire" feeds!

No cranks here. Only winners. It seems that "winning", for you, consists of starting between 5 and 10 new threads on this forum per week. With loads of repetition and hammering on certain subjects. I'll only let you do this as long as you occasionally post something involving WP process abuse of a ...

Re: Crap or questionable articles

More than TEN years after I first bitched them out, and it STILL is nothing but a copypaste from the radiomuseum.org article. Where are the shrieky copyright warriors now?? Tung-Sol was one of the world's largest manufacturers of automotive equipment and vacuum tubes in the 1950s; they deserve bette...

Re: The "attention vampire" feeds!

Michael, you're being about as interesting as a Rhoomba. And you should know better than to give him ammunition to mock you. YOU'RE NOT GONNA "SAVE" WIKIPEDIA. No one is, so stop maundering as if the WP process abusers will take your bloody "advice". They won't. It's a crank haven. Don't be one of ...

Re: The quiet purge?

But here I am, wondering out loud, what ever happened to Berean Bunter? I mean, he seemed to love his work so much. Just as much as Fram or Bbb23. If zzuuzz has an innocent explanation, perhaps because Berean left a private note on the sekrit circle, well, his ego would mean he was incapable of kee...
