Wikipedia in a nutshell

Post by hyatt » Sun May 31, 2020 3:50 pm

On the talk page for Michael Flynn:

IP user: The primary source proves that the "reliable sources" are incorrect.

Experienced users: The reliable sources are always correct.

---

One of these users is also lecturing someone on Talk:Jamal Khashoggi to demand that the page remove any mention of his association with the Muslim Brotherhood. BetsyRMadison was created a month ago to argue in the Joe Biden sexual assault allegation page and is probably someone else's alternate account.

"BetsyRMadison": obvious sockpuppet of a longtime WP insider who likes to piss on American conservative political figures. Good possibilities include Cirt and Bbb23, plus I dunno, about 20 other assholes we've seen before....

The supporter "Starship.paint" is even weirder, but equally fresh and sockpuppety. Loves zoltan pesko, hates Trump, deeply involved in the very ugly George Floyd shitshow. Talkpage is hilarious and gives a nice display of WP admins being petty assholes to each other.....fuckers can't even agree on the article's name. As usual.

Administrators are immune against WP:SCRUTINY.

So administrators are immune against WP:SCRUTINY, yet they punish users to hell if they are suspected to do the same?

Look at all those experienced IP editors at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:HELPDESK !

[Wikipedia is] a stupid video game, and the "encyclopedia" is an accidental byproduct.
