Wikipedia Sucks!

an interesting thing happened about a month ago:

curprev 23:45, 8 February 2024‎ Ingenuity talk contribs‎ m 775 bytes 0‎ Ingenuity moved page User:Brion VIBBER to User:Brooke Vibber: Automatically moved page while renaming the user "Brion VIBBER" to "Brooke Vibber" undo

Ms Vibber is an employee of wikimedia fdn and holds a special place in the hearts of many wikipedians due to her technical contributions from wikipedia's earliest days.

behold, the lovely Brooke Vibber

I think that's the TWELFTH major WP insider and early FOJ to "switch teams". At least of those I know of--could easily be several others who are anonymous and unidentified.

And because I can't think like a hardcore nerd/whatever, the reason for this escapes me completely.

Thanks for catching it.

In Jimbo wiki land you can make up whatever reality you like in any way you want it as long as you have a reliable source.

There is now a Brooke Vibber day.

Dammit, and now I have to lol again......they really don't seem to realize that people outside their warped little "community" might see this bullshit and find it disturbing, do they?
