Re: Clarice Phelps
Even funnier/suckier is the Metafilter thread about this item m This comment was hilarious: Metafilter to the rescue! Jessamyn agreed it was "irritating as hell" there was no article and got a good enough start of a new page there that it's managed to stick. Partly because she used her sup...

Also: if you have the stomach, read the Article Rescue Squadron "discussion". m Oh looky, it's Andrew "Colonel Warden" Davidson! Screaming, and being screamed at! Whoo hoo. (blah) Your happy little Wikiworld has a serious problem, Andrew. And you're one of the reasons. Further: J...

Clarice Phelps
One of the purest examples I've ever seen of Wikipedia's human failures. This is even meaner and pettier than the Katie Bouman squabble. m m The decision set off a heated debate. I copied the full discussion into a document; it fills 18 pages and runs more than 16,000 words. “Put up or shut up,” one...

Re: And here Somey hit on the key to the whole thing.
This is mook-food. Rotten stinking mook-food. And the WMF office is full of young and evidently-inexperienced lawyers who think it smells like the finest chateaubriand. They don't care. Every year the WMF sucks down millions in donations from the public (and Google and Amazon and Microsoft etc), an...

Re: German court says WMF is liable for libel in old revisio
it seems to me that these removals would affect the attribution required by many free content licenses The changes to copyright law being considered by the EU might have similar effects. Wikipedia cannot function "as usual" in that legal climate. Someone call the whaaambulance, we got a s...

Re: Crap or questionable articles
Even by Wikipedia standards, this article is biased beyond saving. Yeah, I know, he's a right-wing nationalist politician and a semi-competent businessman and an Australian political lightning-rod. It seems that Australian politics in general attracts lightning (not to mention shit fountains). But i...

Re: And here Somey hit on the key to the whole thing.
This case has got sod all to do with Trump or the Republicans, Jake is into saying that because from his vantage point in his cabin in the woods, everything is about Trump. It's worthless noise. Jake/Somey always was a fount of non-sequiturs and obviousness..... WMF has done the only right thing, t...

Oh, just another autistic fit by Blofeld.

He stubbed it in 2009, then an IP lazily copied raw text from a tourism website. And it's been a pile of crap ever since. All the articles about Lake Chapala and its environs are crap.

Re: Catch-all Google thread
I use Firefox whenever possible, partly because Google's "Chrime" was notorious for feeding info back to Google servers, and for not accepting third-party ad blockers or security plugins. It turns out that things are even worse: m Nightingale is not the first Firefox team member to come fo...
