BU Rob13, from IP to Admin in 13 months
There hasn't been nearly enough discussion about this shady admin so I am going to start this off in the hopes that others will continue to expand on this. There has been something bugging me about this guy for a while now and I believe they are almost certainly a sock of someone who has edited befo...

The truth and cost of the Arbcom case against Magioladitis
Recently a second Arbcom case was brought against high output editor/admin.AWB developer Magioladitis and this time it looks like they will lose not only their admin rights (that they never abused by the way) and their ability to use AWB. Their crime? For making too many edits too fast, filling up w...

Re: WMF hands out private info to unscreened strangers: OTRS
I think it's funny how WPO didn't pick up on this until someone from here pointed them to it. You're slipping WPO! I also think it's funny that ole' Greg K said my statements need to be verified and people are saying they cannot find a source for my claim that Daphne/INC was on OTRS when the links a...

Re: WMF hands out private info to unscreened strangers: OTRS
I have suspected it since about this time last year and others such as Nick have probably suspected it since around the same time. The 2 share such a close pattern of editing and style it's really pretty obvious IMO. It just became a big deal in the last month or so though. Somewhere around the end ...

Re: WMF hands out private info to unscreened strangers: OTRS
Yeah that pretty much sums it up. The sock account was Daphne Lantier as seen here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Daphne_Lantier and that was the account that had OTRS access. Now having said that INC had OTRS access in the past as well, so it begs the question, if the WMF verified that bo...

Re: SCP Foundation Secure, Contain, Protect
Nope and in fact I would counter that most of the really amazing stuff has happened since about 1900...so the last 117 years.

Re: Example of the biased and POV written content in Wikiped
Yeah maybe, I mean for all it's problems I haven't seen too much white supremacy type issues, at least not on the English Wikipedia at least. It is however overly focused on Western Society like America and England. There are so many articles missing for Asian and India it's ridiculous. Two cultures...

Example of the biased and POV written content in Wikipedia
As we all know there is a lot of content in Wikipedia that has been written with an obvious bias or POV. I stumbled onto this image the other day and thought it was a pretty good example of this trend. Now one would think that the verbiage would all be pretty much the same regardless of race but no....

Re: Compendium of Wikipedia Scandals
Well here are a few I think most folks will agree were controversies to start things off: - There are a lot listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_controversial_issues - Some more here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2010_Wikimedia_Study_of_Controversial_Content - Also here: h...
