Wikipedia Sucks!

This fiery Irish bint definitely seems to have a problem running her mouth off before checking her facts. A very poor quality in a Wikipedia editor in controversial topics and a so called Wikipedia critic.

First there was this weird shit on a thread on Wikipediocracy where she confused JPxG with Haeb. Or rather, she deliberately didn't check even though she knew she might not have her facts straight. No biggie. All she was doing was saying whoever should have "toxic unblockable tattooed on their forehead". Pretty mild stuff for her.

Then there's this weird shit in same month where, incredibly, in the space of just over 20 minutes she somehow forgets she was the first person to mention Facebook. She's being less nasty there than on Wikipediocracy. But she's still being nasty enough that ScottishFinnishRadish has to tell her to "avoid patronizing emotes". To which she replied with a condescending reference to his gender and role.

How does someone this temperamentally unstable, with that many chips on their shoulder (gender, sexism, politics, nationality) manage to make 100,000 edits anyway? Gaining the protection of Zoloft and Wikipediocracy probably helps.

if her wikipedia contribs are anything like her wpo posts, then i would say 'by treating wikipedia as a social network'.

Jesus Christ. I just wanted to spend the weekend taking care of my new ducklings, getting my garden planted, building a duck enclosure next to my chickens, and getting my new rabbit hutches finished off. Maybe roast some hotdogs and marshmallows over a fire. ..... Elinruby, don't accuse people of whitewashing mass murder. Also ..... It is completely acceptable to source non-contentious biographical details to the article subject ....nI'm also not sure why you think .... Harvard Magazine [is a self published source, it] is an actual magazine with editorial control and staff. You need to make sure you're complying with all applicable policies and guidelines and following editorial and behavioural best practice. This is a highly contentious article ..... and at a glance you've mistagged some sources. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

If you're finding yourself this heated you're going to want to cool off a bit before doing much more contentious topic editing. It's very easy to slip up and end up sanctioned. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

I can't lie, the irony is deeeeelicious.

I'm not the Baldrick here, you dipshit. I created that thread and kept it on topic, for your benefit if anything. And this is why. One stupid comment by you, and your weekend is ruined. And help is very much not on the way. Nobody to share the load. Nobody to temper the crazy. Zoloft is not your friend. He doesn't like Administrators like you. He prefers his guys to be a little less neutral. A little less blind to who is who. If you haven't figured that out yet, it's probably already too late. You're going to burn out, and I bet you dont smell half as nice as BBQ duck, you damn fool.

My objectives are met either way. If Wikipedia can't be made to be neutral, if editors like Elinruby can't be controlled much less tossed out as the very antithesis of a model editor, then Wikipedia should go bye bye. It should slide into the sea. It should be overwhelmed by bots. No skin off my nose which of these outcomes occurs, as long as it is one of them. Zoloft wants neither. Zoloft goes to WikiConferences to argue that people like Vigilant deserve to know your real identity as a matter of basic principle. Something that very much won't see you get the help you need. But probably will scare the hell out of your ducks when Elinruby comes over to query this, that or the other.

Go enjoy your garden. Wikipediocracy has no answers for you now I've been purged.

I'm not sure anyone does.

I tried to help, I really did. Elinruby, Vigilant, rnu, Zoloft, all had other ideas, as you saw. Maybe speak up next time eh? I got a garden too. Looking at it right now. And it sure feels tempting to leave you to your fate now. The boiling frog thing is a myth. It doesn't happen like that at all.

But if you do find time for Wikipedia this weekend, do George a favour.....

.....that surely takes less time than dealing with Elinruby.

One button, surely.

You can do it. I know you can do it. Do the right thing. One article at a time.

Be bold. But not stupid.
