Re: The last time Jess Wade used any Wikipedia talk page at all, was 25th July 2021

:jerkoff: I was willing to ease the restrictions on your account. As long as you were willing to restrain your ranting. But if you're going to attack me, the deal is off. You never had that kind of credit in the bank with me, and not just because of your recent actions either. The sight of you memo...

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

I found it a bit weird that their study didn't focus on an obvious source of bias, which is removal of content. You can have the most neutral stance on someone while only adding negative details about them while removing any positive details. The effect of such removals is still detected in their m...

The last time Jess Wade used any Wikipedia talk page at all, was 25th July 2021

She isn't retired. She's edited every day, making all her usual serious policy violations. And people have been leaving her messages in that time, both newcomers and regulars (not about the policy violations, of course). She ignores them all, whether praise, advice or even direct questions. And nobo...

Re: Mick's Unquenchable Rage: Whence it Sprang?

It's possible. Were you around for the Betacommand follies? No, a little before my time. Mick you probably remember all that don't you? :roll: Surely even a talentless dickhead like you would appreciate a serious critic would know the Betacommand case very well, whether they were around at the time...

This post was the win, you numpty. :roll:

Re: Let's wind the clock back to the hilarious time when Wikipedia considered InfoWars more reliable than the Daily Mail

No surprise to see Guy Macon was the man behind this particular bit of insanity. You can find lunatic fringe type shit like this smeared all over Wikipedia. Hard to argue it didn't have an effect when the time came to have a serious debate. Even using The Daily Mail as a source about itself, someth...
