Re: The 2018 chemical attack in Douma, Syria

My new pet theory - and I'm only half joking - is that the US intelligence agencies hardly edit Wikipedia at all. Why would they have an agent edit Wikipedia on the timeclock when NPCs like Hemiauchenia and Andrevan will make the same edits they would have made, but for free? This is EXACTLY what S...

Re: Dronebogus

Yep, typical terminal-stage Wikipediocracy.

Maybe, if we're very lucky, that idiot Beeb will decide to "go after" Dronebogus and get him Arbcommed. Won't stop him though.

Re: Crap or questionable articles

The talk page is also hilarious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Coprophilia Ask me about Matthew Buck sometime. Or maybe don't--he's not an admin on en-WP or Commons anymore and has almost given up on the whole rotten thing. (He had a prominent role in making it smell. Wanna see his nipple clam...

Re: Dronebogus

Dronebogus had been bothering me for a while. Closing down discussion threads I had started, following me from article to article, being extremely obnoxious, and so forth. He suddenly stopped and hasn't interacted with me in almost a year. Around the time he stopped (within a few days at most), a "...

Re: The 2018 chemical attack in Douma, Syria

"Malibu Sapphire" has "shared sockpuppet' written all over it. Likes Mormon subjects and soda pop. Someone's using this "shared account" to fight you off. An old, commonplace, and very stupid trick. But it keeps working--because most Wikipedians are idiots. The sock parrots something and a major com...

Re: How propaganda works vs. how Wikilawyers think propaganda works

Wow, I did not know most of that. I didn't know his older username, and I didn't know his identity. This is good information, thank you. You're welcome. Bear in mind that hundreds of these "anonymous" WP "insiders" have been unmasked since Brandt put up his first Wikipedia Watch website in 2005-06....

Re: Objective proof that WMF software development is a literal scam

To rub more salt in wound, Blender's oldest bugs are only three years old , compare that to MediaWiki's, which still has many bugs from 2005 - 18 years ago. And those are just the oldest bugs, bugs in MediaWiki are in general not addressed, and even if they are, they usually take years. Most bugs i...

Re: The MediaWiki development experience

Just look at a company like Twitter or the WMF. They have hundreds if not thousands of highly salaried developers and yet their software barely works (if at all in Twitter's case). All of the social media companies are like that. If my business depended on Facebook for sales, I'd be bankrupt by now...
