Because in person events are such dangerous places that they need protection by fiat.

I have to agree that the thread title is pretty tasteless. What’s really tasteless is a death pool . I’ve never participated in one because I wouldn’t like to root for my picks to be called home.

I’ve been using VI for a few years now. At its core it’s a markdown editor, and it compares fairly well to other markdown editors. VI is a live editor, presenting the document in a WYSIWYG format. It does a decent job, but where VI excels is tools specific for Wikipedia, such as the cite feature. It...

So the long-winded, angry person who is threatening to sue is also threatening to out the editors involved in the article, and also appears to suggest they will kill GW's cat. Charming. I’m no GW fan, but if her cat meets an untimely demise I will fully support a doxx and ass beating. Sick fucks

Seems to me Wikipedia could get rid of checkuser overnight if they installed their own client fingerprint. I could probably get around it, but it would be annoying.

So, I’m not sure if the original question was actually answered here.

Does anyone know if CU stores browser fingerprints?

Really cute analogy and I suppose you think you're being clever? However perhaps you should give some consideration as to why I'm being vague?

The WMF is keen to cover up anything that might be embarrassing to them. It is well known that if someone gets an article for being an employee of WMF, and then the person gets a criminal record or something, that person's article quietly vanishes.

Example?

Just curious, has Wade been bragging about expanding female BLPs?

Only if you abuse words like "attitude" or "opinion". An obvious "benign" reason would be for comradeship. Ever hear of mission and vision statements?

Generally people don’t join organizations if the orgs mission and vision statements don’t align with their own philosophies. “I had no idea the KKK supports white nationalism” isn’t a statement that anyone is going to buy.

There is an organisation called Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL), set up to "prove" that many Jews do not support the idea that there is substantial anti-Semitism in Labour.
