Simple Wikipedia's Wikipediocracy article
I was experimenting with the search engine DuckDuckGo - best of the rest, I feel - when I found the Simple English article on Wikipediocracy: link
"Wikipediocracy is an Internet forum in English. It was founded in May 2012. It allows any person who signs up to share things about Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation which makes them angry."
"Wikipediocracy allows users unhappy with Wikipedia to openly talk bad about it."
"In 2013, users of the website leaked out personal information about Qworty, a Wikipedia user, to a writer for Salon, a online newspaper. They revealed his real name, and the writer published it on Salon."
Gaaaaaah!
I guess, simply put, we're bad people.

Bonkers must be a consensual hallucination, who exists only to amuse/annoy us.

And it looks like Bonkers was a naughty boy and ended up blocked indefinitely from Simple Wikipedia, shortly after he created that article;
Afterwards, Bonkers posted "inappropriate personal information" on his talk page, which had to be removed with RevDel. I've no idea what this is.
Code: Select all
20:22, 24 November 2013 Chenzw (talk | changes) blocked Bonkers The Clown (talk | changes) with an expiry time of indefinite (account creation blocked, email disabled, cannot change own talk page) (Bad behaviour/harassment: Reciprocal block: Violating the "one-strike" rule / Only here to cause trouble, it seems)

Lol, good job, Bonkers!
When I read it, I thought, is this for real, or is someone mocking Simply Idiotic Wikipedia? Now I know.

Here's one of the comments that Auntof6 tried to RevDel (Auntof6 forgot to remove the comment from the page before using RevDel):Alison wrote:And it looks like Bonkers was a naughty boy and ended up blocked indefinitely from Simple Wikipedia, shortly after he created that article;

@User:Osiris This is a really funny block rationale. How are Arctic's actions "outing" when Chenzw already explicitly lists out his beloved alma mater and residence [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SGpedians'_notice_board here]? Not wanting myself to get blocked, I'll just have to cryptically note that I have found out who Chenzw is in real life, thanks to a fabulous Linkedin page... I didn't reveal anything personal, so please don't block me too. Cheers, [[User:Bonkers The Clown|Bonkers The Clown]] ([[User talk:Bonkers The Clown|talk]]) 02:08, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

That could be interpreted as "which makes the Wikipedia powers that be and the WMF angry", which of course would have more than a grain of truth.Zoloft wrote:It allows any person who signs up to share things about Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation which makes them angry."

He hadn't edited on Simple since about June 2012.Michaeldsuarez wrote:Hi, Demiurge1000
Still, most of his changes seem sensible.
Wonder which one of the accounts here is him?

Re: Simple Wikipedia's Wikipediocracy article
He makes a good point though. I am shocked - shocked - to see that Zoloft edited the article without announcing his COI. What's more, he used the Visual Editor!Michaeldsuarez wrote:Hi, Demiurge1000

I'm a masochist, experimenting with that thing. VisualFlail. It provides an excuse to yell at the WMF.

I'm a bad guy who likes to get owies playing with that thing. LookieLookieOwie. It gives me a reason to scream at big guys. Also, all people who put words on computer have grudges.
