Re: What I am doing to save this site.

Why isn't the foundation doing anything about this? They are mainly PR now. I spent the last 15+ years telling people, IN PUBLIC, that the WMF is rotten and the WP insiders are even more rotten. You are delusional if you think anything will "change" suddenly. Or ever. I still expect the WMF will cr...

Re: The Decline of Wikipedia

It doesn't help that no author is listed, and academized.com is an "essay writing service", not a "media" site. This article looks like someone's AI assemblage, frankly. Appears to have scraped material from old Wikipediocracy threads, and possibly from threads on this forum. It's badly dated too: t...

Re: Are other Wikis such as JustPedia, ConservePedia & InfoGalaxy connected to Wikimedia?

Hey, if this idiot can put up a MediaWiki site, so can you. Getting people to USE it? Loads more difficult.

(Only ran across it because the creator posted it to the Dramatica forum. Which is not a good place to post anything "serious".)

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

Good luck getting any attention from the deranged MMO players. They will fight you tooth and nail. Oh look, you got a comment. Someone accusing you of being an AI. If for anything else, I'd like to hear your further answers to topics of AI neutrality and implementation. One last question, was this p...

Re: Are other Wikis such as JustPedia, ConservePedia & InfoGalaxy connected to Wikimedia?

just look at Gary "Gerhard" Lauck's NSDAP/AO website. It's down today. Wonder how many DDOS attacks it gets. I never see it down, but then I rarely look at it. I checked right now and it's up. Down right now. The WP articles are funny, unintentionally. What a maroon. 50+ years of marooning, several...

Re: Do not frequent some certain default subs if you don't wanna get banned while criticizing Wikipedia on Reddit

At the risk of repeating myself, I repeat myself:

CHOOSE ONE SUBREDDIT AND PUT ALL YOUR EFFORT INTO IT. Nothing is accomplished by making 5 or 6 subs with the same focus, then letting them die out due to lack of interest.

Re: "Tenet Media never existed"

Then you might enjoy reading about this guy, the "alleged molester of Nick Fuentes" or whatever.

The American right just gets more and more demented. And unintentionally funny.

Re: This perfectly describes Wikipedia's collapse

Alt right influencers panning Wikipedia for being too easily influenced by an editor with pedophilia leanings. https://x.com/echetus/status/1938243341982044306 Elon Musk is now aware of it. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1938363651364426229 That was only yesterday.

Re: Hostile BLPs

They COULD have a hostile BLP about Joel Koskan. But they have nothing, probably because he never won an election. A "pillar of the community" and Republican politician, convicted of incest? Normally one of their "socially aware" nerds would be all over this. The "rules" are not really rules at all-...

Re: This popped into my YouTube feed a day ago...

The Penn Central makes a great target for satire. Once among the largest railroads in the world, crashed into the ground by savagely incompetent management despite having a near-license to print money. More people should take shots at the "Pennsy". (Of course they won't as it's now "ancient history"...
