Re: Why We Hate Wikipedia / Ten things you probably didn't know about Wikipedia

There are a few good posts on this forum about the activities of SlimVirgin, but I didn't see much on the Essjay scandal. The link below shows some information about Essjay, who wanted to participate in this new adventure. As I recall, his real name was revealed when some Wikipedia hotshots were con...

Re: "The salaries of Wikimedia executives are sparking an online debate about tech sector wages"

https://thegrayzone.com/2023/05/19/elon-musk-bellingcat-western-psy-op/ Elon Musk says Bellingcat is a psy-op. I think it's time for Bellingcat to change its name. Or maybe the CIA could just tell Jimbo to get off of the Wikipedia bus so that the spooks can put someone more subtle and competent in c...

Re: "The salaries of Wikimedia executives are sparking an online debate about tech sector wages"

Money is one thing, but CIA connections are another. Katherine Maher appears to be a influence-peddler for the CIA. No wonder she left the Wikipedia foundation after she was exposed, several years ago, on this forum because of her National Endowment for Democracy connections. As usual, Jimbo was eit...

Re: CIA agent Katherine Maher

Here's some of the info on Ms. Maher that was published more than three years ago. There's more detail about her CIA activities. See the info under this subheading: "The Wikimedia Foundation’s Katherine Maher: US regime-change operative with deep corporate links" https://thegrayzone.com/2020/06/11/m...

CIA agent Katherine Maher

She's in the news again: https://thegrayzone.com/2023/10/31/regime-change-web-summit-ceo-israeli-war-crimes/ Years ago Katherine Maher was heading up the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipediasucks.co exposed her at that time. Needless to say, she has a glowing biography in Wikipedia which doesn't mention ...

Re: Elon Musk offers 1 billion USD if Wikipedia changes its name to Dickipedia

lol, nice troll job Since Musk is notorious for not paying bills, even if they were stupid enough to change the name, he would likely never pay up. Besides, remember there already WAS a "Dickipedia". It ran from 2007 to the end of 2011. Last capture I could find: https://web.archive.org/web/2011120...

Some anti-Wikipedia history

Some folks saved some of my anti-Wikipedia pages from years ago. It's wasn't an easy task because they included a bunch of little portraits of Wikipedians. On my computer, each portrait needed a new in-line link to show the portrait along with the description. These archivists must have had software...

Re: Why We Hate Wikipedia / Ten things you probably didn't know about Wikipedia

From an Australian newspaper 16 years ago:

https://www.smh.com.au/technology/facts ... dpytl.html

After 16 years, has Wikipedia made any progress at all?

I vote "No". It's still a basket case and it still needs adult supervision.

Re: Why We Hate Wikipedia / Ten things you probably didn't know about Wikipedia

Most old-timers know about "Essjay," who was the Big Boss of Wikipedia when Jimbo moved to the United Kingdom. Jimbo was essentially "hands-off" and let Essjay take complete control of the highest administrative functions. This lasted for years. No one interfered with Essjay. For the benefit of thos...
