Well, well, well ... the noose is tightening.

I've never been to Utah but I hope Nick will be there soon.

I'm not going to wait until August 2023 to write a begging letter to a group of users who couldn't care less. Does that mean you're going to writer that begging letter earlier ? Guess what - that continued since then. Not just across the 93,000+ articles I created, but across the 1.5 million edits ...

For over four years until today, this bio of a Swedish footballer said , "Here he also killed about 5 people which is not known to the public but his close friends knows about it." https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/25/FreddyBorgl%C3%B6per2010.jpg/480px-FreddyBorgl%C3%B6per2010....

What's his wife going to do when it turns out that her husband is, in fact, a convicted sexual predator and grifter? She will stand firmly behind him. It seems to me she's either still in love with him or just blissfully and blindly ignorant. Ten years later she will appear in some documentary whis...

That looks really good and the 70% off makes it a sweet deal.

Almost all of these articles are still extant and terrible. Wikipedia - always improving. Hasn't there been some AFD activity in that area recently? Not that I found. It's a fossilized scat graveyard. Let us know if some AFDs pop up on your radar. I believe some folks here (myself included) would l...

The truth is much more complicated than that. What you've said is basically a verbatim narrative of the Russian regime. Yes, the truth is more complicated. The narrative disseminated both inside and outside of Russia by the Putin government is substantially more in depth than all that and covers a ...

It actually has very little to do with whatever "propaganda campaign" the Western countries are engaged in on Ukraine's behalf, though of course it doesn't hurt that the Ukrainians have been able to rather easily portray themselves as completely innocent in nearly all particulars — which, to be fai...

We were born in the destruction of Wikipedia Review. Deliberate acts of gaslighting and sullen vandalism took that site out of contention. So the critical mass reformed here. It's been a wild ten years, and as long as we're relevant and making relevant criticisms, we'll continue. Wikipedia is still...

I am so upset. So very upset.

Which is worse?

Thief

Pervert

Edited Wikipedia

In that order. The escalation is clear. Next level: "edited Wikidata".

Jehochman said: Haaretz is preparing a new article, and an expert is writing a book, documenting systemic problems with Wikipedia's Holocaust articles.

I wonder who's feeding Jehochman this brand new information.

Category:Ponytails in the United States? (I'm just kidding, that's not a real category. That would be ridiculous. Don't even click the link.)

Category:Ponytails by country has only three subcategories. Come on, Commonists, you can do better!

And Exxon, if you're interested in coup attempts that could eventually have a significant impact on human life.

Not really a successful and impactful coup as it was advertised in various media outlets.

I recently nominated a small pile at commons uploaded by the same user.

But of course some sexism is also a likely contributory factor. I'm not so sure about that. I am sure that not all male Wikipedia editors are misogynists (although there are some prominent names - many of them long since blocked, banned, or retired - that come to mind). I have tried yet again recen...

For one, I wouldn't blame this on Polish (ultra)nationalists. To them, Singer is anything but Polish. I faintly remember a medialized case from probably 20 years ago, when one town in eastern Poland wanted to name one of their streets in Singer's honor. A massive dissatisfaction (to put it mildly) o...

Commenting as a non-Anglosaxon, non-English native speaker. Of course there is a gender gap on Wikipedia, but it's not the only gap there.

At some point, people just need to recognize that the editing pool at WP is 85% male, for a variety of sociological reasons, and to accept that and get serious about CONTENT deficiencies.

This is 20x more important than whether an editor pees standing up or sitting down.

Isn't calling Alaska "a territory no white man has any business even being in" just a touch - you know - racist? If someone described England as "a territory no black man has any business even being in", I think that it would be regarded as racist.

Exactly. Good point.

Butthole/blowjob imagery aside, I liked the old one better. The new one just seems cold and corporate. On the other hand the practical effect on anything real is just about zero so whatever.

My thoughts exactly. The new logo looks like a logo of some new obscure start-up company.

Lot of people nowadays (particularly Americans) don't really understand what real fascism is. As Robert Paxton, scholar of fascism, said "Everyone is someone's fascist." The term is criminally overused out of context, probably even more than labelling someone as "socialist" in the U.S and A.
