Re: ArbCom elections 2019

Hey Timmy, who is this guy over at the central.......?
I think the guts of the ballot this year is 15 to pick 11.
Does math work differently on that other site? Because I could have sworn 15<19.

:lol:

Re: Socked Into the Puppet-Hole on Wikipedia

and occasionally finding links to authoritative sources of information. Only for the lazy or stupid, neither of whom should probably be doing anything that requires looking for sources of authoritative information. The fact is, people do see Wikipedia as an encyclopedia precisely because they are u...

Re: ArbCom elections 2019

On Timmy! You are so ridiculous. The real count now, at a nominal 22 candidates, for non-insane people looking for a democratic means to express their will, the choice is now anywhere between ten and thirteen viable candidates (given the entirely predictable late trend for last minute semi-reluctant...

Re: Don't have a Bat-Cow, man

The two outcomes are functionally equal, as anyone with a modicum of honesty and intelligence can recognize at a glance. Irredeemable. You literally explained in the post that you buried this nonsense in, why they are not functionally equivalent. One leaves the content recoverable by even a novice ...

Re: Socked Into the Puppet-Hole on Wikipedia

A great article, in the sense that while Kumioko won't admit it, it paints all sides as absolutely fucking mental, total losers with way too much time on their hands and not enough mountain lions in their backyard, and reminds readers that Wikipedia is an absolute joke, something that doesn't deserv...

Re: Don't have a Bat-Cow, man

That's how it works. That's the guideline that applies... You're the one that sought documentation that what I did by stopping a unilateral de facto deletion of sourced content was kosher. It was kosher. Whatever. Even in this short comment, you're being a self-serving skeevy little fuck. Redirecti...

Re: ArbCom elections 2019

KrakatoaKatie and Isarra are in today, running the total to 12 administrators in the race, by my count. You're wrong again, Crow. You lose. Good thing you never put your small wallet where your big mouth is. That's very prudent of you, you flubsy fundused fluffy bunny... RfB P.S. Nope, Isarra isn't...

Re: Suggestion: Our own Wiki.

Honestly that's part of the problem. Zoloft is so busy towing the party line and handing out the Koolaid he can't really be a critic. No different to the way you like to pretend Wikipedia can be fixed, if only blah blah blah. You're both hopeless believers in a reform that will never come, because ...

Re: Questioning Wikipedia's innovation-killing evasion polic

You are of course missing an important detail. Wikipedia is manifestly not for readers, it is for editors. That is the root of the approach that says it doesn't matter what someone does as an editor, only what their status is, i.e., are they allowed to do it. The concept of banishment, of demarcatio...
