Can we sell funny merch too? I'm thinking you could sell toilet paper with Jimbo's face on it. Maybe you could have it be customizable to have your "favorite" admin on it.
It's been considered, unfortunately both Wikipedia Review and Wikipedocracy tried it and sold almost nothing. There just aren't enough seriously disgruntled Wp users to make a profit. Even asking for donations ot keep the forum online did not work--this forum costs almost nothing except for the yearly DNS registration that I pay for out of pocket. It runs on Suckadmin's private server. There isn't enough traffic to worry about.
I wasn't really thinking about profit. More for the fun of it. A middle finger to Jimbo.

You're welcome to set your own web store up and sell anything. Put "Wikipediasucks.co" on them if you like. Knock yourself out.

Just be very careful with anything the WMF or the Glorious Mr. Wales might regard as a copyright or trademark violation. They're such bastards, they might sue you to shut you up AND demand you sign a gag order to prevent publicity that makes them look bad. And the WMF unquestionably has the $$$$ to file frivolous lawsuits.

My own personal $100 says you'll sell very few items anyhow, others have tried.

He has been taken to ANI again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... IP_editing

This time he was actually banned.

Only from XfD! Now he just needs to find a new way of being a dick. Wikipedia has plenty of options.

Editing Wikipedia is not a substitute for being a person.

Hello everyone. First post here. I'm very concerned about what's happened to Wikipedia, and I'm very, very happy to find a group of people with similar concerns. I've been thinking about this issue for years and recently began writing essays about it. If anybody who reads this is serious about a plan to bring light to Wikipedia's rot, please contact me.

I have had several very unpleasant encounters with the user Dronebogus. I will not go into detail here as I presume his behavior towards other users is similar. Suffice it to say that if I had acted the way he did, I would have been banned or at least given a very stern warning, and I would've deserved it.

Has Dronebogus ever been accused of coordinating with sockpuppets or meatpuppets?

Could you tell me more in a PM?

Yes, seemingly.

What you posted 9 days ago has completely disappeared from the AN archives. No traces, apart from a diff that was listed on the fool's talkpage. The argument happened 12-15 August. Fool is only banned from XFD pages. It won't show up in the logs.

Another teenager with a 15-second attention span; another "useful idiot" deletionist.
No matter how many stupid things he does they will keep him around.

I was able to find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... IP_editing.

Indeed, Dronebogus is a useful idiot. The reason his behavior is tolerated is that he has never, and will never, make an edit that The Party would find threatening.

It's difficult to find partly because he's done so many "controversial things". And agreed. He is NOT a "good contributor" but is also living proof that Wikipedia is a giant MMORPG full of cuckoos and whack-jobs. Repeat their moronic propaganda over and over and act like a stupid kid, and they will love you. And protect you.
