Re: Wikipediocracy is now Bishonen approved
I've seen a good action by Bishonen and some reasonable statements, but regardless allowing a Wikipedia admin to be a bureaucrat on a "Wikipedia Criticism site" is risky regardless of being a good admin or not.

Re: Why We Hate Wikipedia / Ten things you probably didn't know about Wikipedia
He was alleged to have offered edits for donations. Not "alleged", "PROVABLE". Google/Alphabet employees enjoy "special non-defamatory treatment" on WP to this day. Similar things have happened for BLPs of prominent Wikipedia fans, including the founders of Creative Commons, Sunlight Foundation, Be...

Re: Why We Hate Wikipedia / Ten things you probably didn't know about Wikipedia
Jimmy Wales not running it doesn't worsen it. He's a hypocrite as it is. He claimed in an Interview "We're an open democracy." Apparently the guy hasn't even read his own policies. Even besides that, he's corrupt head to toe. He was alleged to have offered edits for donations. Can't really trust him...

Re: Thoughts on Reddit?
True.
But there are also genuine trolls there driven by ignorance.

Re: Thoughts on Reddit?
It's definitely troll infested.
There's a lot of sections there that I don't bother with because of the trolls.
Lots of sections are plain anti-Pakistan. Not to mention many Pakistani Islamists there who tick me off with their ignorance and give the rest of us a bad name.

Re: Coverage on Wikipedia's decline has been disappearing
If I'm not mistaken though, the activity on Wiki is still much lower than what it was in the 2000s and is still slowing down.
Apparently Wikimedia is looking for ways to encourage more editors. Though I could be wrong.

Re: Coverage on Wikipedia's decline has been disappearing
It has flatlined, so there's technically no decline to write about. But that is hardly the whole story here. I'll bet most "newcomers" are mostly sockpupeteers. The rest of what you wrote is interesting. You ought to save it and out it on the forum blog. We ought to have a blog here on Wikipedia cr...

Keep a low profile. That's the only way to survive Wiki. There's no other way.
