Well, well, well. Why am I lacking any feeling of surprise?

The photo of the chicken needs to be smaller -- it's bleeding off into the right margin.

Almost two years later, prompted by the efforts of some at this website, the SOFIXIT train begins to pull away from the station.

Fixed -- it's rather petite now. I had done it the easy way, by copying and pasting the whole shebang, including images, into WordPress. However, as I have now discovered, that doesn't give me control over image sizing, so I re-did that one.

The Wikipedia "SOFIXITING" is dragging along. Though it's been known that the "passport" account was a hoaxster for over a year, and this blog post has been up for about 48 hours, at least two of his hoaxes remain on Wikipedia (the writer hoax nominated for deletion but with no additional participation, the spice mixture hoax unmolested by any Wikipedian hands or bots).

What was that about the quick correction mechanism's again?

(I'm actually surprised - have a series of blatant hoaxes ever been pointed out before and been ignored for so long?)

They deleted all 6 of the images from the blog post on Commons already. Copyvio=easy.

The articles? Well, they're all still waiting for each other to agree it's bollocks, and scared to be first to admit the BADSITE was right, and not just full of meanies.

Patience, padawan. Like all things wikipedian it will be properly fixed by never.

Si. But still... they can't even stop scratching their butts long enough to take on his "Sneeze guard" article. Ah, well.

KuchenZimjah hasn't been back to Wikipedia since December, and he was blocked on Commons today, by Will Boddy.

Once again we are doing Boddy's job for him, and he is saying nothing. (Yes, Will also obliterated all of KZ's contributions on Commons. Nice work, Will, you little shit. Thanks for trying to destroy all the evidence. Fail.)

And it's quite possible we will never KuchenZimjah ever again, except possibly in bogus SPIs to follow.

Just pointing out that it's been close to four days since a minimum of 2 hoaxes were pointed out, at length, on this website. They still persist on Wikipedia.

Bhutanese passport (meme) (T-H-L) was created yesterday by new account Sovereign Sentinel (T-C-L), who appears to be a Russian aerophile.

Can it be that R - - - - - - - is responsible for not one but two of the top 5 greatest trolls in the history of Wikipedia?
