Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

It led to this, which repeatedly tries to claim that incels are violent terrorists. The bulk of it was rewritten in the past 3 years by GorillaWarfare, of all people. Does she think incels are violent terrorists who should be destroyed? Then why is she spending most of her life on Wikipedia, surrounded by them?

They're her fan base. They like when she's mean to them.

Wikipedia, the fucking mess, has no information about "Break The Floor Productions" or its founder Gil Stroming.

Why? Is it because this scandal involves gay men molesting teenaged boys? LGBTQ sexual abuse is a thing "not to be mentioned" on the pure and glorious fully gay-friendly Wikipedia, where bad things only happen to straight people? Or are they merely incompetent?

Break The Floor is a VERY busy company, providing dancers for hundreds of tv, film, and stage productions. Plus innumerable music videos. None of that is mentioned on the "all human knowledge" carbuncle of Jimbo.

i bet at least one of the abused minors is now a wikipedian and might prevent such an article from being created, depending on whether they see the predator as their abuser or their lover.

my own ban actually came after i identified on my userpage the man who molested me and what government bureaucracy sent me to him. i would guess that some of them either work for the bureaucracy, or recognized him as their own abuser/lover, or matched my photo to a much much younger picture of me in their personal kiddy porn collections and decided i had to go.

wikipedia is full of abusers and the abused and i suppose anyone who might've written an article on this is banned by now.

PS: they have terrible taste in décor.
PPS: Mark Meismer's article on wikia is locked, and his wikipedia article was deleted in 2007 bt an entity called Fabrictramp. it'd be interesting to know who created it

it's like the old punk-rock scene, I guess. Full of broken people from broken homes and such.

PS: they have terrible taste in décor.

Guess it's perfectly okay to use Instagram to ruthlessly promote your company. Doesn't seem to be working for them.

PPS: Mark Meismer's article on wikia is locked, and his wikipedia article was deleted in 2007 bt an entity called Fabrictramp. it'd be interesting to know who created it

He has a vanity site that hasn't been updated in two years. Was in a documentary that was apparently never released. Mark's Instagram was not updated in months. Other search results indicate he's trying to scrub his history. Conclusion: He might be having "a problem".

Speaking of "having a problem", I wonder why there's no WP coverage of a company called Anomaly 6.

So, "All Human Knowledge" has thousands of articles about utterly obscure b-movies and other showbiz trivia. But I found one they have nothing about. (Type "Digital Man" into the search box and you get an old Rush album instead.)

Of course this is a crap movie. Wikipedia has long dissertations on certain crap movies. Nothing about this one. Let me guess, it's too "militaristic" and has Adam Baldwin, therefore it's a "right wing something or other".

To Transgender or Not to Transgender that is not the question. The real question is why does this you-tuber have a Wikipedia page in the first place. There was an edit war confused to sex. There is a discussion about splitting "her" in two as if one obscure entry would not be enough. But at "she" had the balls to bitch and/or butch slap Google.

Transgender Information / Removal as such from Google
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Frantone_Electronics

Fran's recent videos have touched on the subject of which she claims is not transgendered and was upset that Google searches state this, I was however also under the impression that she herself had stated in previous videos before she was, however we must go on what Ms Blanche says, and am editing out this area which states she is transgendered. --KaraokeMac (talk) 11:57, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

(The poor fing-leesh in the above flara-graph is interesting)

She is publicly open about being transgender. Her problems are with the usage by google of the word transvestite. That word does not mean the same as transgender. 85.167.39.77 (talk) 12:19, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

She is out about being trans, as per this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWdy7cd6g_Y) the issue is the use of the word "transvestite". Also, transgender is an adjective and should not have the 'ed' suffix attached to it. Ja450n (talk) 12:43, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Fran is transgender she has never hidden that face, in her video the did not like to be referred to at a slur "transvestite"
The way the wiki is currently worded "she has been incorrectly labelled as personally identifying as a transgender person" really should be written as"she has been incorrectly labelled a transvestite" or something along those lines. Most people (including Fran) view the word/term "transvestite" as a slur, this is what she was upset about. Fuquar7 (talk) 13:26, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

So why isn't there an article (or ANYTHING) about the Copia Institute on Wikipedia? It having existed since 2015.

Consider founder Mike Masnick (you remember, the guy I caught editing his own BLP who refused to talk to me and whose BLP was later deleted for no apparent reason) and his blog TechDirt.

Wikipedia articles use TechDirt as a "reliable source". I found 664 links to Techdirt from WP. And even the Signpost has repeatedly quoted Masnick. Yet the nonprofit institute he created to fight media misinformation and manipulation is undeserving of any mention on Wikipedia. Anywhere. Perhaps they're "punishing" him for messing with his own bio? Or did he run an editorial that pissed someone off? I don't buy any "non-notable" bullshit, secondary sources mentioning Copia are available.

TechDirt tends to take positions that Wikipedia dorks would approve of: pro-Section 230, anti-conservative (there's a long angry rant about a Tucker Carlson interview on the front page today), and the like. Copia have corporate sponsors who also give money to the WMF, they've had Wikimedia employees participate at their "Summit" meetings, etc.

Now I wonder what Mike said or did that infuriated the little tyrants.
