Alas, another unsuccessful bid for the Guinness World Record for Parentheses (within Parentheses (within Parentheses (within Parentheses))) in a Single Sentence.
You, my friend, obviously have never read my friend Rev. Nørb, of Maximum Rocknroll fame...

Wil Sinclair has utterly turned his life around and is running marathons and ironman competitions.
He's lost a ton of weight, seems much healthier mentally and just appears to be having a great time and living a productive life.
Hello, John. John, hello. You're the one soul I would come up here to collect myself.

I saw that! I didn't want to bring it up or link to his instagram out of the blue, though. He's a full time employee of Burning Man now BTW.
Agreed. I keep an eye on a number of far-right UK articles (for obvious reasons) and they are pretty much always spot on with both their editing and reasoning on talk pages.
Bloodofox(T-C-L) has a great userpage and does wonderful edits in articles relating to paganism. Cyphoidbomb(T-C-L) is fantastically good at reducing the amount of cruft that plagues television articles, such as TV shows from India (which has a good post from Cyphoidbomb about the bad practices that goes on with some editors in that field: linkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cyph ... _Ignorance[/link]) or children's shows, which attract a great amount of editors adding useless detail to articles, presumably children or sometimes developmentally delayed teens/adults.

The fact that they are constantly harassed for "incivility" takes nothing away from the fact that they're doing far more
for an "encyclopedia" than virtually any of their attackers.
(I also think they're both cranks, but hey, whatever......)
+100.
Admins don't like frank discussions with people who turn out to be much smarter than they are.

There's a long list of good people still writing decent content for Wikipedia, many of them every day. This forum and WR NEVER talks about those folks, so they end up being invisible.
It's really sad that the content writers are quitting while the patrollers and mad gnomes are taking over.
