Anyone want a challenge?

Figure out all the times Kumi was banned and unbanned on Wikipedia. (I've given up myself, they destroyed all his user logs and digging thru noticeboards is sheer agony. Might have to talk to him directly.) Then if you've managed THAT feat, do the same for his bannings from Wikipediocracy. I'll even...

Re: Graphs don't work because WMF developers are idiots

They disabled graphs almost TEN MONTHS AGO. And STILL no evident progress. On the Phabricator page, for the past 2 months all they have done is jabber at each other. "Why can't we do this" and "why can't we do that" blah blah blah. According to the category, there are now 18,296 articles with broken...

Re: New WPO blogpost - "Nihonjoe Has Been Naughty"

The big joke here is that Primefac who attempted to deep six the dicsussion is himself on the Arbitration Committee."Recusal" means little as everyone knows they will have to deal with him tomorrow. He misused his power to protect a dishonest and corrupt administrator, but why? Perhaps there is som...

Re: The (new, straight-from-scratch) Trump thread

Let America have its referendum to be partially ruled by a queeny reality TV sociopath who refuses to leave office. That's the choice: him, or a crusty old bastard who spent 36 years in the Senate sucking up to corporate types and passing tough-on-crime bills that made things worse. And voting for ...

Re: New WPO blogpost - "Nihonjoe Has Been Naughty"

Ooohhhh! They DID notice it. And tried to squelch all discussion--because Wikipediocracy "doxed" a Wikipedian, never mind the COI. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=1210942284#Nihonjoe_and_COI And now it's been dragged to Arbcom.

Re: Political bias and squabbling

The party's founder's article dates back to 2003 and has been edit warred for most of its existence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway He's a long-notorious critic of Israel, making him a constant target for abuse by the Wiki Zionist gang. They have lost a lot of political power since 2...

Re: Instances of pro-Russian bias in Wikipedia?

Everyody working for George Soros or the Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership was working for Igor Ivanov and the South African ANC which is a Russian front. These same people are the NAFO trolls. They were recruited because they bought into Russian propaganda so deeply that they will ban you and...

Re: Instances of pro-Russian bias in Wikipedia?

So ru.wiki is full of uncritical pro-Western propaganda, too? Hmm. I don't think that a government-run Wikipedia mirror is a good solution to the problem. It's probably as lame as Conservapedia. You can run it thru Google Translate, and it SOMETIMES works on article text. But good luck "navigating"...

Re: Koavf reverts Doug Weller's revert to Antifa, Bishonen blocks Koavf, and many accusations of trolling and "admin abu

The WIkimedia Foundation sets you up to do their work for them, to take the hits for them, even delivering those hits themselves when expedient as they did to Fram and so many others, and leaves you with only your own dick in your hand as they walk off with all the money. Don't forget that for all ...
