Funny WPO thread about a podcast featuring Molly claiming that "Wikipedia is all there is left of the internet" or something..... https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13477 The transcript is a formless horror, so I edited out 146 instances of 'you know' - broke it up into readable ch...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thacker_Pass_Lithium_Mine Started in 2013 when the mine was first proposed. It was a "stub" that no one paid attention to--until 2021, when the media coverage and political/legal wranging went full-throttle. It is now 97k bytes long, one of Wikipedia's longest articles ...

Sorry to hear it. He was unquestionably annoying quite often and had some kooky ideas, but did considerable useful work for those ungrateful Wikipedians.

Meanwhile meanwhile, there was a WPO thread . Which started in January wondering if the WMF board fired Maher. They are barely mentioning this new NPR development, because "meh, it's just right-wing media trash". Not exactly true. Katherine is an exceptional bullshit artist. When properly motivated....

Is someone starting to snipe at Eric Jepson? You betcha.....Drmies is. Jepson's talkpage was already filling up with people criticizing him for posting non-notable or junk articles. But when this happens..... https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Thmazing&oldid=1217727978#Topic_ban Du...
