Why is the IP redacted?

Hell if I know. But this quote is hilarious.

We should be inclusionist as much as possible. "If I go looking for info, and Wikipedia doesn't have it, then Wikipedia has failed." Baseball Bugs[2]. As much as possible, there should be (almost) zero holes in our coverage of that "all human knowledge." Really, that should be the attitude of all Wikipedians. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:13, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Some of Wikipedia's worst admins took turns blocking Baseball Bugs over the years:

They harassed him relentlessly for all kinds of stupid/trivial things.

And his RFA in 2009 was a disaster PLUS one of the longest RFAs in history

Mandel finally got her article changed....but only after Slate ran an interview in which "her marital status was revealed" blahblah. And it then made the Signpost, which triggered the deletionist assholes even further.....

I cannot find the link, remember the prison death where the case was dismissed because you cannot have a trial for a dead guy. Wikipedia was totally fact resistant as secondary sources just did not care enough to run an article.

The guy remained alive on wikpedia even though folks knew he was dead!

-There is no common sense
-There is no appreciation for fact in the Wikipedia process
-There is no way to fix errors

And then - there is a total shit show between insane people bickering on and on and on about abject nonsense. Folks like fighting with each other in the epic troll farm that is Wikipedia.
