It's going to be something like 8 gay white guys talking about how oppressed they are on en.wp for three days.

90 grand is the least amount I’d ask for to spend anytime with people who are so obviously gaming charity donations like this. Because that’s what’s happened here.

Can wait to see the amin backload....3002 Russian editors remaining unblocked. Could a bot be created for this? And hey, why stop at Russians?

Ooh nice. Here is one back at you gathering you taste in dub step from NYB’s posts on sucks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCzJQRV ... u0l2gt6kUL

Most Cork City songs are about shooting brits, which was never a great look and anyway is out of fashion these days.

Here is a local hero band, with an espically apt song for the red haired syop.deamon on wikipeodracy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FZkFcuo0wA

“We care Michael we care”

Perhaps a bridge in interest to Jorm? Peace could possible in our lifetimes, if only we believe! A bridge might be more acceptable f he wasn’t so self righteous, arrogant, and of the it’s one rule for them and another for me mindset. Also, he rarely makes sense, outside of spouting societal or soci...

We're too busy trying to get the casting sorted for the film.

Suggestions welcome by the way.

Withdrawn by the candidate.
Edit to say I didn’t keep up on the discussion so I don’t know why it was withdrawn. I just saw it on another page and then saw nobody had mentioned it here yet.

Pity ,as it was a most amusing car crash. Really loved the, ahem “ Strong neutral”.

Making talk pages healthier, especially for newcomers

New Sheriff in Town (T-C-L)

I agree with New Sheriff. If somebody identifies as dead, they should be allowed rest (and edit) in peace.

Has an interest in scouting, which is never a good sign.

Denise Lievesley (T-H-L): hard to say if this is unflattering or not; at best, it's uninformative.

Also she appears to be drinking white wine, on the job. Blue Nun, 2020, if I’m not mistaken.

— Smiley seems a bit too concerned with facts rather than AGF for my liking.

What happens when you only pay those people who strongly agree with the WMF's Social Justice/'Equity' stance?

Isn’t that what’s happening now

Ceoil

Looks like the position was made redundant in a org restructure. “ Given we are now actively looking for our next CEO and ED, we will not be backfilling the COO role”

Ceoil

I think it’s job insecurity, knock them down as a means of bigging oneself up.

Ceoil

The fact that the people who complain loudest about him are so tedious indicates that he mightn’t haven’t been all that bad

Ceoil

Really? Somebody aught to call the, oh wait. Ironically, there are more than a few aspirant police with itchy fingers on an/in at any one time; could-have-been lawyers too. The makings of an interesting standoff.

I"m drinking from the firehose on US politics and the most current hot spot, the Ukraine calls, and I'm struck by just how many comparisons can be directly drawn between the corrupt GOP behavior and the wikirati. If I'm casting a movie, Goldenring plays Michael Cohen. I can think of a few candidate...

I don't think there will be more than one or two protest candidates. My reading of it is that there will be some emboldened by the Fram RfA result to run as 'civility police' candidates. Which could be a bad thing. There might also be some running who have WMF/WMDC/WiR backgrounds (or similar organ...

mr Trout. Thank you very much for the suggested corrections, and the redundancies have been removed. I could never spell in british eng properly, not to mind knowing the diff between AM and Irish, so ok. Re "fixated on Monsieur Bertin's personality", its a portrait. By the way, such fine critiques, ...

Greg has a thorny history with Wiki, but dont we all. I'd say most see him these days as a valued critic, pointed for sure, but playing a necessary role. I shudder to think what that place would be like if this place didnt exist.

I wish Johnbod well in his new role, even though I think he's a pretentious twat who basically knows fuck all about anything. It appears that he knows a thing or two about ingestion. It does indeed, or as we say "oop north" he's a fat bastard. Thats cheap, even by your standards Eric. Among humanat...

Unfortuanatly Laura Hale is a large reason why DYK is so poorly though of. Dull monolitic hooks? Check. Low quality sources? Check. Plagarism? Check. Part of the hands over ears DYK crowd? Check.

From the New pages patrol archive linked above.

"If you did not notice the deployment then, well, that's not our problem. Okeyes (WMF)"

In other words - "Our customers suck, is the problem."

I think your projecting to an extent there Eric, there are quite a few that still think it can be saved, despite the quality and motivation of the self-prepuating guys at the top of the admin chain.

Ceoil

Hes kind of a relic though now at this stage. He has been descredited a fair few times recently, and the powers that be are at pains to distance themselves from him. Im sure he has a few ears left to whisper to, but I'd guess thoes ears are equally out in the cold.

"Like a dumping ground for Wikipedia article writers" I always liked Jeff on a one to one basis, he has good sence of humour given the right circumstances, though when I saw him go after others on one of his "crusade", I cringed.

"In 2006". I stopped reading there.

Ok Lilbure, thats fair enough, my apologies. In this I think WP:MERDS is one of the most important projects on wiki, but its severly understaffed and an uphill struggle. There are some good wiki people out there, same basic worries as you have but its a loosing and never ending battle.

Ceoil

If you really think that, that a quack like that who believes reptilians rule the world, is actually responible for poor medical treatment, and wiki can absovle itself, then well, I dont know what to say to you. Maybe you need to read up on your own condition.

Its fairly apparent and pointed in the last few months that the policy with regards to vanishing and socking is bent towards people who benifit from a policy of its not what you did, but who you know.

Sure, thats patently apparent. What get me is that SA was pushed into his position and he is now deamonised and pushed aside by children rule checkers, who have no substantive openion, just tick boxes that need to be checked. On to the next one. Where as the more collect lunaticks; who have learned ...

In fairness to SA, what ever about his methods and hyperbolics, wiki does needs people like him. In science and especially with medicines, people do turn these pages and a small number are self diagnosing and taking courses based on what they read. Fringe or quack "theories" need to be clearly label...

Ceoil

Shakespeare isnt a great example Peter; its a featured article, and they tend to be more or less static after promotion, provided the guys behind it are still around. Though I agree with the trust of the point; 99.99% of of what appears on my watchlist is categories, linking, vandalism, dabs and that.
