Re: Holes: Arktos Media and Jason Reza Jorjani

Ha ha ha ha this is rich. If the actual Nazis saw Jorjani they would probably toss him in a death camp "because he's too brown". No, the actual 1921-45 Nazis considered Iranians "Aryan"; the ancient name for the country is Airyanəm Vaējah ("Expanse of the Aryans") in A...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

I suspect that Jax_0677 is Jack Pelton. Because one of the first things he did on Wikipedia in 2008 was to create the article about, guess who...Jack Pelton! He also spent time working on the bios of fellow former Cessna/Textron people like, well, his boss, Scott C. Donnelly . Plus Dick Millman . He...

Re: Wikipedia ruled by 'Lord of the Universe'

FWIW the Jossi story is basically "ancient history". You should also include links to the arbitrations. Excellent example of how Wikipedia fails. Jossi had a supporter, a fellow Prem follower called "Momento", to help "protect" him. But they both pissed off Will Beback ...

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

FWIW: Mensch's Wikipedia article is classic Wikipedia leftists pissing on someone they dislike. It grows and shrinks, grows and shrinks. One sockpuppet after another shows up and drops cruel comments in it. And a lot of the people in the history are known combatants in the "British Isles" ...

Re: 147.435 - The Repeater Beyond Human Comprehension

Example of the weird jamming that goes on at K6MWT late at night. The jamming also goes on during the day. And I know industrial musicians who love this stuff. They sample and reuse it all the time--and the hams don't know it's happening. I guess these nerds are on disability or something--who else...

Re: Holes: Arktos Media and Jason Reza Jorjani

Here are two Stoney Brook Philosophy graduates in Jacobin going after the "postmodernism" they think let Jorjani get that Ph.D which has so blackened the college's reputation . It wasn't PoMo; Jorjani is half-Iranian and he used the more exotic parts of his background** to create his thes...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

Alison mentioned this guy on Facebook -- there is a petition demanding that he resign his seat on the Dail.

So I checked his Wiki article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(politician)
And sho'nuff he's been editing it himself.....

The account that created it has that funny smell too....

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

m That's the thing wealthy people are beginning to realize about websites--they're easier to censor than print media. They're stupid and wrong, but it doesn't stop them. Didn't stop Jimbo..... Speaking of censored websites: Whether you're wondering or not, Ricketts has a Wikipedia bio. Which shows s...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible

Discussing small fry distracts from exposing the big fish. Does this forum intend to chronicle the edits of every conflicted wikipedia editor ? That would obviously be impossible. And I would call Gorski a "big fish" because he's an administrator. Okay? This thread is mostly for dropping ...
