Correct, and I expect the little snots will fight over petty details for years to come.....as usual, all the worst people voted to support, and anyone with an opposing viewpoint (no matter how reasonable or well-defended) is being attacked by shitheads like Kudpung and Ballioni. That "discussi...

That looks suspiciously like hoax.

The photos in this article tell volumes about the sort of people generating WP content (and bureaucracy). Interesting. It's almost as if the photographer (who presumably was contracted by the NYT) has been told or asked to convey the message. It's a very subtle way to discredit a brand. Edit. Let m...

Spassky was a remarkable chess-player. Do you remember the time when an even more remarkable chess player opened with pawn to queen bishop four. And then it transposed into a Queen's Indian? Reykjavík, 1972. I checked out that game again a few months back. Art. Pure art. PS. Quick edit. It was game...

When I was a child, a very long time ago now, "spastic" was the common term for a person with what is now called "cerebral palsy", which is often a result of accident before or during birth. Using this outmoded term as an insult is contemptible. OK. All good. I'm probably not th...

Have you figured out yet why your list of ten best Wikipedians was misguided? Respectfully, I'd prefer not to argue. Let me add some more spastics to this important list. 1. NeliN .

The key differences being, of course, is that the charity sector is heavily regulated, and if you don't like the way a particular organisation is run, it's almost certain there's another one doing the exact same thing. Not to mention all these other organisations, for all the waste and incompetence...

FWIW the WMF is little different from any number of nonprofits who have a good donation income--a great deal of it goes to waste. Wikimedians love to give themselves fat salaries, "honoraria", and money for plane tickets and lodging in distant countries for their endless meetings and &quo...

Over on Wikipedia Review (now zapped) I ran a thread about Wikipedia's top ten MegaPedians. I recall including Ian Rose, Gerda, Brian Boulton, Cliftonian, Sarah (Slim virgin), Tony1 and Sturmvogel. Let's try a different angle -- why not compile a list of Wikipedia's biggest losers, most incompetent ...

Updates I've started introducing this worthless failure, NeilN, to my son and his friends (all aged 13). I want them to see exactly what a born loser looks like, and the characteristics they exhibit. I start by asking what sort of successful man wants to be a volunteer moderator on a shitty website...
