Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

And now, for a small prophecy. I predict that you will never see a mention of this story in the Sergey Brin article. Because he is a co-founder of Google and Wikipedia sucks up to Google on an "unofficial yet pervasive" basis. Have a nice day. 22:54, 5 January 2014 Mark Arsten talk contribs configu...

Re: Tamzin RfA

if you find yourself spending more time talking about the people who write wikipedia than being one of those people, remember that you can fix that today: then unblock me you retarded skank. Hah. Did the maniac ask for desysop and change her mind already? I did not even bother to check. Anyway, do ...

Re: Tamzin RfA

Yesterday Tamzin changed her userpage to include the following: i used to be a very active administrator here. eventually i got disillusioned by the way we treat one another in the shitty backrooms where meta-level decisions are made.

Re: Tamzin RfA

well if he was born in 1999 then his parents were likely Generation X and less susceptible to social contagion. my guess is that he identified as a woman but when he died his parents used his birth name for the services and/or plot and/or tombstone... just like the meme. You will never be a real wom...

Tarantino posted the GoFundMe and whoever that is looks like it's safe to assume they weren't murdered. its either a tranny or drug abuser or both. Interestingly t...

Re: Wikipedia claims 8% of Brazil is gay based on bunk study from 2009

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_LGBTQ%2B_Community_in_Brazil Wow, this is one of worst articles I have seen on Wikipedia. At first, it looks undersourced, but it's actually worse than that.
