Re: How to "dox" Wikipedia insiders/fanatics

THIRD: Is another seemingly-obvious trick that often works well. Because Wiki-Addicts are usually not especially clever. Look at their earliest listed edits, and look at their earliest talkpage versions. Quite a few of them betrayed their interests by grinding certain content, and revealing persona...

Re: The scared, angry, hate filled transphobes at the heart of Wikipedia

I can easily imagine the rage your post is producing on IRC right now. "Wikipedia Is Inclusive", we are told. Over and over. Yet shit like this happens routinely. " Inclusive " in that little world means something very different from what trans people think it does. Most of this was written by Tony1...

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

Hah, excellent point. Murderpedia contains literally dozens of murder cases that Wikipedia does not even bother to list anywhere. News coverage, even historical coverage, of such crimes is NOT difficult to find. So they can't use the "reliable sources" crap to pretend this is not valid content. Anot...

Because he's the principal editor behind some articles dealing with arcane bleeding-edge technologies, like terahertz gap and history of metamaterials . Been an ADHD nerd Wikipediaoid since 2009.
