The original research clause is another wikipedia specific rule that doesnt necessarily apply to other wikis. There are other ways to manage scope and quality that can be applied. I would argue that in some cases, WP:OR holds Wikipedia back.

I do actually. I've been building up the military wiki on fandom for years.

There are quite a few people getting grants and suckling from the WMF teet. Some like Magioladitis seem to have a knack for it, but a lot are just trying to scam the WMF out of donation money.

I think your confusing global lock with global ban. A lot more people are locked than get banned. But, i wouldn't create a wiki just for them. A lot are blocked for good reasons like vandalism, copyright violations. I you want to create a wiki i would pick a topic your interested in and invite peopl...

Like most companies I've been associated with Wikimedia has a few really good developers holding things together. Magnus Manske and sam reed are 2 off the top of my head. Then there are some that aren't very good and most are somewhere in the middle.

A couple I have referred to as a creep are Drmies, Beyond My Ken and Fae but there may be others I don't remember. As was ment...

Thats not even mentioning FAE who literally uploaded pictures of himself in sex acts with other men or the admin who was formerly a lawyer and was forced to resign as a lawyer to avoid being disbarred after soliciting a prostitute

Considering all the porn, including child porn, contained on the Wikimedia sites, Wikimedia knows they'll never be able to meet the bills requirements. Also, considering how toxic the site is and the generally low morals of many of the editors, theres no chance they would remain operational for long...

Truthfully...just to be pointy really. As a banned editor I know they'll delete anything I create. So, i do 100% positive edits so when I get caught and they get deleted, they're showing everyone they don't care about content and would burn the project to the ground rather than allow me to edit.
