Re: Bbb23 admin abuse

Crow has written a nice essay on Wikipediocracy about Bbb23 in his signature style. It's an entertaining piece, not without truth, therefore I'll republish it here in remembrance of our warrior. Original: http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=262726#p262667 Well, nothing illustrates how fu...

Re: Bbb23 admin abuse

How Bbb23 diva quit (again) after ArbCom gently suggested he uses the CheckUser tool with less violations of the policy. Worth documenting.

Re: Strange audio files and broken iOS app

Lol, that's miserable. You can report this on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/
Maybe it depends on the uploader what format they choose, but it's certainly an error to suggest using the app then fail loading it :D

Re: Guy Macon

The actual page has been blanked as a courtesy since Macon's wife logged on to say (via his account) that he had suffered a heart attack. Convenient. In wikiland a failed RfA causes heart attack...

And Dysk, the reputation of this board was ruined when it started up. Wikipedia asswipers will NEVER show up here for honest debate. They like their little Scientology-style cult website to be free of "actual criticism", of them especially.
They do like it wiped clean...
