Welcome here, CN. It's taken you a while to get here. One reason I was at WPO is that I asked at one point for you to be let back in, since you apparently weren't coming here in answer to Strelnikov's call some months back. I don't understand the incursion into WP. I hadn't noticed the change from m...

Do you think Amazonia will be on the Security Council as soon as it is gets itself all nationalized? (amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.co.uk, amazon.es)

I remember when we thought Barnes & Noble was the threat in the 90s, back when Ingram was growing into a monolith.

Classiccardinal is resigning from fr.wikitionary.org and is going to evaporate. He's going to take on a new pseudo to get the revolution rolling on WP. A good admin is one less admin. LOL.

Nothing says KICK ME, BECAUSE I AM A GODDAMNED FOOL quite as loudly as Remi babbling this.

This decision was not easy to ma...

Sorry off-topic. I should try to figure out how that works. What would the point of that be? to hide cosmetic edits of various sorts maybe... So Kumioko, while you've caught my attention with the previously unknown (to me, at least) BU Rob13 who magically appeared in my case, I wonder if you know Ca...

Yep, you're right, I just checked. I was actually confused with Sro23, who for some reason I thought was picking up the slack for Bbb23. But I guess that -- like GAB -- they're just involved in making sure corner puppet shows seem to have their zoning licenses in order, because they don't appear eit...

On a personal note, I can say that they sure did seem to be speaking from years of experience as an admin for their only comments ever as BU Rob13 to bureaucrat Dweller 's talk page: (The discussion turns on the fact that Wikipedia is said to have chosen to modify the user-group to which deletelogen...

And in other news, the Berkman Center at Sciences Po will be glad to learn that Launebee & XIIIfromTokyo have been banned from editing any and all pages about French academic institutions. This, after well over a year of rancorous bickering across fr.wiki & en.wiki. (Particularly centered ar...
