Can’t the Scots just keep him in a cold, damp dungeon with a Book of Mormon, feeding him kosher bread, Irish potatoes and water? With an extremely large, lovelorn Scottish felon? Wearing a prison kilt? Scotland is famous for cold, damp castles with dank dungeons. Why bring him to America? Why are A...

Musk created a special system for showing you all his tweets first Musk got upset that Biden's Super Bowl tweets had more engagement than his, so "Twitter deployed code to automatically “greenlight” all of Musk’s tweets, meaning his tweets will bypass Twitter’s filters designed to show people the b...

This whole case is completely disgusting and might just be the straw that finally breaks my wikipedia addiction. What basically happened is that JPL was attacked by Lugnuts behaving at his most combative, patronising and disrespectful worst for the cheek of nominating one of his permastubs for delet...

... So, given your last edit as Mr. Emis on 12 January had the summary: dummy. edit: I disagree with V. about the reasons for my block. I won't request to be unblocked.

Just noting that Spartaz was also the one who put the kibosh on Fae's attempted backdoor wheeling-and-dealing to get back onto en.wp. Spartaz is a sensible chap. He pops in here sometimes, if summoned . I see no humbug here, bah. Not sure everyone would describe me as a sensible chap, but thank you...

365 articles created by Epbr123 have been deleted . Most of those were bios of porn performers. What's also interesting is his intersecting contributions with Morbidthoughts , though on adultdvdtalk Morbidthoughts tells Kylie Ireland they are different people. I have been butting heads with both of...

Can we correct the thread title to the much much funnier wikitaffia please?

In my experience she isn't at all deletionist and is overly generous in accepting sources but closing a discussion should not involve the admin doing the leg work as that creates a personal opinion that can lead to a supervote. Basically, you are supposed to close according to what is in the discuss...

What does Surface even mean? It just smacks of bullshittery.

What meaning of the word from https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictio ... ?q=Surface here are we using?

I notice James is no longer a product owner but is now a software engineer on the latest staff list. Is that a downgrade do you think and what was the reason for the change? His user page says it happened in 2018 - which shows how much attention I pay to anything.

But in this case Beeblebrox made it clear that attempts were made to work with them but were ignored. Perhaps when reality interferes with your world view it might be better not to parade your ignorance and just accept that sometimes the wiki ongoings aren't always evil.

You are wrong there. It was me that removed Russavia from en and there was absolutely no discussion whatsoever with arbcom about it. Oh well my bad then.

Meanwhile, on Commons, it looks like Fae is heading into a suicide-by-cop scenario in his push to show the WMF who's the boss when it comes to global bans. Not really, the WMF overstepped their authority and several of us called them out on it. Doesn't mean they'll change their decision but it also...

You know what, i dont think its worth the time and effort to argue with that lot. Commons is just so broken that its simply not worth even trying any more. Let the angry mob of russavia enablers have their childish revenge.

what's wrong with asking the team privately what they think should be done and then agree with it? Its functionally the same as what the BoT is doing but doesn't make them look incompetent and aware of it.

Oh, OK. I wonder what made me think that then?

IMO the main reason that the tools aren't broken up is because many of the admins and even some of the community members who want to be admins consider the tools a "right" and not a privilege. Many also perceive the admin toolset as a status to be achieved and if you were to unbundle the "set" then...

Two and my wife doesn't work. I earn more than the UK average but I'd be very reluctant to give up my job a few months before another kid without something to go too.

According to the thread, Luis has no job to go to and has a baby on the way in May. That doesn't exactly suggest that this was a voluntary departure does it? The baby might be the reason.
