They've been updating the blog again

Well, there have been two since September, anyway. One by Greggie and one by Kingsindian, who seem the be the only authors they have left.

The one about Boyle is actually a good and interesting item. Meaning: bizarre and barely noticed anywhere else.
My take: Boyle is a fucking looneytoon, okay? And he and Wikipedia deserve each other.

While Mr. Boyle was a frequent editor of Wikipedia articles and an avid participant in online gaming forums — who adopted the names of obscure Star Wars characters as his handle — he was otherwise virtually invisible on social media. The son of a federal tax judge and devout Christian, he was once married to an outspoken defender of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Having been reconfigured and rejuvenated as a monthly journal, Wikipedia's internal SignPost now probably scoops, or has already covered, anything Wikipediocracy's regulars might want to blog about, what interests or even irks them. It takes a remarkably critical line these days, while obviously not advocating Kill To Cure.

Kingsindian is retired from the blog I'm pretty sure. Don't know who Greggie is

Mr. Kohs, one of their original founders. He hardly ever posts to the forum anymore. (Go ahead; log into WO and ask him to come to this forum! And CC us his answer, I bet it will be amusing.)

Kingsindian will write a blog for them if they ask. Whether it will be worth reading, is another matter.

Have they perhaps forgot they even have a blog? Zoloft hasn't been around, so there's been nobody to prompt people into thinking about it at all......

There was Icke who mentioned their blog to 50,000+ listeners, but nobody over there really seemed overly interested in what he cited or (especially) why. :mrgreen:

Maybe once Marek is blocked § he'll start writing for them.

Marek couldn't write a blog post to save his miserable worthless life.
