Re: Silicon Valley Bank and the WMF
Both the Trump and Biden administrations pumped money into the economy which helped create the bad inflation over the past couple of years which cause the Fed to increase interest rates which caused some banks to fail because they had invested too much in treasury bonds that were devalued by the inc...

Re: Silicon Valley Bank and the WMF
I enjoy asking WP and WMF bigwigs direct questions in situations like this because they react so comically angrily and defensively, as if they can't understand how anyone would presume to question how they do business. It's not just them, though, you may have noticed that after Biden announced that ...

Re: Silicon Valley Bank and the WMF
So, what's the best way to publicly ask Ms Iskander and the other executives of the WMF how much money they lost with SVB? Do any of them have Wikipedia user pages that they actually use to respond to questions? Who is the CFO of the WMF? Jimbo Wale's user talk page is now semi-protected.

Re: SVB and the WMF
There probably should be a separate thread on this topic. I wonder how much the WMF and its employees lost in the collapse?Ognistysztorm wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 3:11 pmOh btw, Wikimedia Foundation is said to have banked with SVB.

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust
It's interesting to see that Wikipedia hardcore defenders and Polish nationalists are badgering discussions on Twitter et al to try to deflect the topic to Icewhiz. Perhaps they all should be allowed to fail hard this time. Links to a couple of examples would be helpful This Poland and the Holocaus...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust
Over 10 years ago ArbCom declared that their focus would be on behavioral issues of the editors they investigate and they specifically stated that they would not address content issues, such as allegations that editors are misusing sources. The other admins in WP have generally followed their lead. ...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust
Crossposting this here since this is the appropriate thread: I understand that this thread isn't meant primarily to discuss the latest Poland history cabal arbitration case, but there is nowhere else for me to say this, and that's that there is something singularly salient about this case. Judging f...

Re: Eastern European Warfare
I read the Grabowski paper today. I think some of its observations and conclusions are valid, but some seem to be dubious and influenced by a political agenda. An ad hominem argument is pervasive throughout the essay, implying that the Wikipedia Poland history editors are far-right fanatics but the ...
