Re: Pointing at white people and screaming "RACIST!"

They did a good number on DiAngelo--she's doing this not because she really cares about POC, she's doing it because IT IS A BUSINESS. Now, six months into Trump II, when the Mighty President and his acolytes are running around the country trying to destroy and demonize all DEI programs......DiAngelo...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

Yes, doing what even Lou Reed did in 1964 is a fakery of the highest order. Ha ha, good point. Lou was doing a lot of stupid things in '64, the "golden age" of the Brill Building garbage song factory and its endless stream of "one hit wonders". It is no surprise at all that he was already a heroin ...

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

I don't think Rogan or Bet-David are brilliant guys, but they have large audiences and have had famous guests (Alex Jones did Bet-David's Valutainment show, while Elon Musk has been on The Joe Rogan Podcast .) Don't know about Musk, since Bet-David almost develops a chubby when it's time to critici...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Araw VERY obscure experimental musician. Major contributor: Roosterjack , who has edited almost nothing else on en-wiki. And all last year. The only other major contributor, Michig , has a contribution history that makes me wonder if he used to be an Oracle employee...

Re: Proposal for Closing Wikinews

I should point out: this was almost entirely the work of longtime WP editing addict Koavf. basically all of the criticisms are accurate, although I might add the Russian Wikinews is said to be controlled by Russian propaganda people. "It looks like they just use the RSS feeds automatically generated...

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

We cannot let Wikipedia bury things over and over, like they tried with the Patrick Bet-David BLP (which is still standing....for now.) Agreed. That was the THIRD AFD for Bet-David's article. Obviously the insiders dislike him and want to "vanish" him, and obviously (made inescapable when the Bushr...

Re: "Article protection" is a joke

What do you get when you let random clowns edit a "reference work"? You get this chart. It shows which citizen of that country has the most articles in various OTHER language Wikipedias. 0gxmnrdetdld1.jpg And why David Woodard? As it turns out, a list of socks that look amazingly like David Woodard ...

Re: "Article protection" is a joke

The difference between "anyone" and "anyone with an account and 10 edits" isn't major. Not the point. These charts show what they WANT to ignore, for political/social reasons. And what attracts stupid editwarring/vandalism. Why Ohio's article needs more protection is a bit on the comical side; it i...

"Article protection" is a joke

These charts were found on Reddit's r/mapporn and appear to be accurate

It also shows how little of a shit Wikipoodians give about Africa........
