Yeah, that's a pretty stupid post. But it fits perfectly with the utter self-serving garbage the Signpost published in response. Not to mention the petty whining that ended up on Bradv's talkpage.

THEY ARE MISHANDLING PAID EDITING. ALL OF THEM. And what do they do in response? Shriek at Wales to hand in his permissions and change an ancient Arbcom policy allowing him to reverse an Arbcom decision. And bullshit about it after the fact. Because he DARED to criticize a former arbitrator for "maybe" recommending WikiExperts to someone, maybe?

Yep, bunch of fucksticks.

I also notice that Smallbones is no longer sanitizing/patrolling Jimbotalk. Instead, the last couple of months have been taken up with a squabble among pro-Russian and anti-Russian sockpuppets over something on ru-WP, and some other minor crap. Jimbo really IS declining in popularity with the wiki-twits. Even three years ago this talkpage dramah would have been squelched very quickly.

Reminder that they STILL have not fixed the graph issue. In fact, I recently saw someone remove the graph from an article's lede because they don't expect them to come back within the foreseeable future.

The only thing that they have even done about the graph issue is create a "roadmap" to "resolve" the issue: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extensio ... s#Progress
