Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

Why do I keep posting these single instances? They are illustrations of how it's done, especially when it's for an arrogant filthy-rich asshole, who sees paid editing of WP as a "minor business expense". The professionals hide in the endless vast river of autists. https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articlei...

Re: K Maher and CFR

Obviously you received my "parcel". Now you know many things; details even those 12,000 cult members are not aware of. The people who REALLY control the WMF aren't WMF employees, or even paid (at least not by the WMF)--and I'd say there are maybe 600 of them out of the 12,000 with serious control ov...

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

There is no article on en-WP about blogger Jack Stuef. He's got to be "notable" by now...... https://www.outsideonline.com/2419429/forrest-fenn-treasure-jack-stuef Over time, those teenage dreams of adventure receded, and Stuef went on to attend Georgetown University, where he served as editor in ch...

Re: Josh Gordon and eBay

More than a month later: it's still there. And links to the stalking-scandal article. (Which is included in three categories, but NOT in Category:EBay. Betting $100 that Josh "had a few words" with various people.)

Re: Fae indeffed on EnWP

Might as well list the Wikipediocracy thread, even it if is full of Vigina spluttering. http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=11693 Even funnier: Scott "Scottywong" Wieser, one of Wikipedia's worst administrators of all time, is now on Wikipediocracy shrieking at all and sundry for "o...

Is he finally starting to lose any touch with reality? Watching him complain about Fae is bizarre: pot vs. kettle kind of thing. http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=278547#p278547 hmmmm......

Re: Fae indeffed on EnWP

In case you didn't see it, let me post one of Andreas's old comments from that last Signpost item. Ashley was pushing (relentlessly) to set up the "Wikimedia Chapters Association" as a nonprofit. With himself as the leader. With an annual salary. I profoundly resent the attempted establishment of th...

Re: Crap or questionable articles

Few references here, not searchable under synrm <-the main keyword https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor Because there's no practical way to search for such articles other than to write a VERY complicated script, no one has any idea how many such poorly referenced articles exist on en-wp...

Lol, what again? I figured he'd have given up, especially after the immense shit-explosion Ashley created between 2011 and 2013, as a trustee of Wikimedia UK who was also banned from Wikipedia ....have a few reminders, some of which require digging around: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req...
