Re: Other Bad Wikipedia Admins
one could write a whole book about Bishonen's stupidity. Unfortunately she and Giano are joined at the hip, and since Giano has been scarce since 2022, that fun little coupling might be over. See Giano's block log for more "fun". :jerkoff: PS: it was a LOT longer. He changed his username several tim...

Re: Section 230 is in trouble -- at last !
Was waiting for her to falsely imply that Wikipedia is the same as a government run entity that is in charge of enforcing free speech laws. And she did it! Around 43:00! She insinuates Wikipedia is the internet equivalent of a public park. More like a public toilet. Someone has to clean it. And nob...

Re: Section 230 is in trouble -- at last !
Techdirt gives WMF "VP of Global Advocacy" Rebecca MacKinnon a podcast entry to spew the usual nuance-free Wikipedia propaganda and deplore Section 230 repeal attempts. Sometimes this smells like a religious war; neither side shows any "nuance" about the dispute. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/04/16/...

Re: Paid Editing on WP is permissible
I would tell you about the "prominent jazz guitarist" who wrote his own BLP and was totally ignored.
But it's just too cringe. Plus he's a customer of my products, who does NOT know what he's doing.

Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR
Maher has had an interesting start at NPR. A week ago, one of her senior editors published an essay criticizing his employer for engaging in shamelessly biased reporting: https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust Maher responded by blocking him for five days: https://www.washin...

Re: Former steward Mardetanha (of Farsi Wikipedia) globally banned by WMF
In the past Mardetanha was mentioned on the Signpost , repeatedly, but only in passing as a "trusted steward". Never as the subject of a scandal or other "bad news". Similar results on noticeboards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?fulltext=Go&fulltext=Search&prefix=WP%3A&search=mardetan...

Re: Other Wikis That Have Bad Mods
Fandom.com (formerly Wikia) is a complete sewer, and has been a sewer since it was started by Jimbo Wales and Anglea Beesley in 2004. Oh, the things I could tell you about them. (And there are a million things I CAN'T tell you, because they run in a completely opaque manner. There is no noticeboard ...
