Wikipediocracy

A shame they have not yet named a supertanker for them. Two days to very gradually change direction

C&B

According to Barkeep49, 'Framming' is now a verb , after Joe Roe said on WP:AN that TheAnome had been 'Frammed'... Nobody enjoys being frammed... That'd be basically asking for a framming for myself Infinitive: To Fram. I fram, you fram, he/she/one frams, etc. It could be reflexive also: He Frams hi...

It is a shame that dimething as obvious as clearing individual hooks rather than a whole slate is only likely to introduce now, when it has been letting crud through for years.

We don't want Arbcom making new policy, that is not their job. Their job is to arbitrate protracted problems that the community CAN'T solve, and find solutions that are equitable and put the interests of the Project first, using existing policy as a basis. Policy changes should happen by consensus ...

C&B

But how did you arrive at any of them. The top 5000 posters or something? What is so cool about "Nikkimaria" as a username? It's a very nice name I am sure, but "cool handle, man"?!

Even rollback, which is usually dished out as confetti

Idle curiosity speaks... were there any desysops for cause late 2017, early 2018 by any chance?

C&B

Yes.... And they love publicity.

I'm not privy to "Last Visit" data, which I assume exists to the site administrators. tim The "last active" column in the members list is actually the last visit. My last field showing is JOINED. You've got the special Admin list 'cuz you're special! t Slight diversion, but there is something funny...

Sorry I've been dragging my feet on this. :( Sorry, was not having a go at you either! It must be heart wrenching to keep having to go to the same trouble always. :bow: Just saying, make it a communal effort (actual community involvement rather than Wiipedia-pretend community involvement, that is!)...

It looks like Nihonjoe can predict the future. Well, his own anyway

That site is so cool! I pity the fool who tries to get a shake at 10% at McDonald's tonight! That one in St Paul, no milkshake at all, 'but would you like a coffee?'

C&B

Mr Pollock, that must be your biggest yet!

C&B

A question for our Time. Why does the banana milkshake keep disappearing from the McD's menu

C&B

Well. The Davidsons etc do. But BEFORE is part of the AfD information page, while BURDEN (and ONUS, too?) is policy.

We Are Rome. Everywhere We Stand, Is Rome.

If Wikipedia is its own SPQR, then Wikipediocracy must be the Via Appia (T-H-L)

C&B

Or Beeblebrox.

I bet it does not. It's only because they are desperate to protect Nihonjoe that they are doing so (I think). BB and Fram were thorns in the side that they actively wanted to be done without!

If you ask on Twitter, he will offer to write the seller's article for him.

Dennis Brown is oaf-like.
That's not very nice.

I've never found Dennis to be "oaf-like."

Well, "oaf-like" is not as bad as being a complete oaf

but, perhaps. Just slightly basic in his point of view.

C&B

Dennis Brown is oaf-like.

Do El_C's links work OK? I get an error page.

Deb (T-C-L) is Deborah Fisher. Never blocked. Tendency to edit war. Which on one occasion led her to block herself. Only 24 hours. First offence in 20 years seems right!

C&B

Wikipedia will only really be concerned when those 14 start coming out of the active 100... if 14 Administrators who don't do a lot are desysopped, no one would really notice. Or are they active, the 14? Tamzin, the like?

C&B

Since he has now been unblocked, this six-post thread can just be merged back into the Nihonjoe one.

C&B

Don't overthink it though. As joking aside, that was clearly a sock of the Jabbas sock who was in turn an LTA ... there's 3 reasons for the post to be removed on their own. The content of the post didn't need to matter (see: DENY). Anyway, the cat is so far out the bag now that it's taken the need t...

C&B

Masti (T-C-L) looks to be on the ropes too. At least, floating between 75% and 77%, which is well less than the 80% needed in an election. But some leeway appears possible in this case.

C&B

That's not the way of the Turk. You ask when you need to ask, in the form it should be asked. A question that doesn't appear to be outing because prior questions of that nature have neen asked and been allowed stand. Indeed they will now apparently form part of the evidence in the forthcoming case....

Wouldn't an Arbcom case normally get its own thread? And this seems more than a run-of-the-mill job

Now talk page access is revoked. After all, who would want an arbitrator out-argued in public? More than usual, that is.

He is a... Wikipedian. And as a demographic, they are not well known at protecting people's innocence.

C&B

It says, for Primefac too and Lee Vilenski too, I assume they would have signed off on it before posting. Or did they just leave Ymblanter to weigh an actual consensus for himself?
