And also: I predict that David Gerard is, or soon will be, heavily involved in this bullshit somehow.....

Re: Woke Wikipedians are trying to ban the Daily Telegraph now!
lol, this is how Arbcom cases get started. Idiots who post this kind of ranting crap eventually make too many enemies, regardless of the "house bias", whatever that is this week. Patterns get corrected in the British system. This isn't America. We aren't retarded. Point taken, but just remember: one...

Re: Common names invented on Wikipedia
It also makes me think of the insane, abusive ways WP handles the creation and deletion of articles. Was reminded of this by the ugly story of the 2011 attempt to delete the Old Man Murray article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-03-07/Deletion_controversy Which menti...

Michael Shermer discovers that "science has a liberal bias"
Brace yourself, this item will set off a lot of TRIGGERING. Why did Scientific American fire Shermer in 2019? https://www.city-journal.org/article/unscientific-american Shermer aside, this IS something I've noticed about current American progressives: a weird tendency to harp about how A*W*F*U*L eve...

Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....
Highly active 2006-09, but been bumbling along at 100-200 edits per year since 2014. A very common pattern for early admins. Burnout occurs after 4-8 years of supporting the "cult" and fighting with random idiots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive...

Re: Section 230 is in trouble -- at last !
It's Tuesday and someone famous is whining about Section 230. So OF COURSE Mike Masnick has to whine about the whiner. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/07/raging-ignorantly-at-the-internet-fixes-nothing/ Wenner always WAS a raging coke-addled asshole. Now he's an old coke-addled asshole? BTW, the we...

Re: Common names invented on Wikipedia
So the point is; someone invents a name for a fish species and posts it on the WP article, it ends up on a "WP mirror" called inaturalist, and no one noticed for TWO YEARS? When someone does notice, "indefinite block for vandalism"? As far as I can tell, most of Alomomola's "common names" were prope...
