The Thacker Pass article
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 ...

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

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR
Eric, can you dig up your book wiki notes about Katherine Maher? There isn't a lot in there, that wasn't already posted on this forum. She came along late in the history. By that time I'd given up on keeping track of the endless revolving door of obscure figures. But here's the main gist of it. She...

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR
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....
