There are a handful of users absolutely obsessed with keeping infoboxes off of certain pages. I have no idea why this is, but they've had a complete and total stranglehold on a few incredibly famous people's pages for over a decade. Kubrick is probably the one people see most often. The fact that it's taken this long to get basic wiki formatting applied to a highly-viewed page should show you how much power random nobodies have to fuck up wikipedia.

Do never forget that these fuckfaces are the ones who currently control what people know and learn.

Stanley Kubrick finally has an infobox! Never thought I'd see it happen.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Wiki
Rode the six editors.
“Forward, the Sperg Brigade!
Charge for the infobox!” he said.
Into the valley of Wiki
Rode the six editors.

I don't understand their argument at all. Why single Kubrick out? The arguments they are making are something that you'd need to make about Wikipedia as a whole, not just the article for one director. This is the justification given:

A box promises to contain, and things that can't be neatly contained can't be put in boxes. A box suggests "this is the real deal," and if the real deal could be put in a box, then there would be no need for articles. A box says, "Here is your PowerPoint bullet point list, so you can find all the world reduced to a reductive summary; please do not strive to understand complexity, for that is for suckers." A box says, "Wikipedia is just like your primary school text book: full of colors and 'bites' of infotainment." A box says, "I, the box maker, have just pissed all over this article and written a counter-article, and it's short, so read it instead." A box may be found useful by some people, indeed. We call those people "non-readers."

Uh, ok? Then argue with JimboWales or other higher ups, not the page of a director.

That guy is the sock of someone heavily invested in wikipedia.

Edit: The guy most vocally arguing against an infobox is GoodDay, who is apparently infamously autistic. Also Canadian.

Operation Mockingbird - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

We really needed to know in one sentence Qoomers talk about Operation Mockingbird. Funny that wikipedos call that operation alleged but have been forced to acknowlegde MK Ultra was a thing, implying it's believable the CIA would drug people to manipulate their minds but the CIA manipulating media narratives, can't happen.

Also the deepstate in the US page has the highest number of sources to deboonk the idea that there are one or more cabals of elite using the government as a facade.

The deep state in the United States is—according to a discredited conspiracy theory—a clandestine network of actors in the federal government, high-level finance and high-level industry that operates as a hidden government that exercises power alongside or within the legitimate, elected US government.[1][2][3][4][5] Claims that such a "deep state" exists are conspiracy theories.[6][7][8][9][10]

Whilst in office, now-former US President Donald Trump and various officials in his administration repeatedly referenced a so-called deep state and claimed it was working against Trump and his agenda.

Amazing line from Wikipedians. Definately can't be improved whatsoever.

The usage of the word "whilst" is one of the best indicators that the person posting is a massive faggot.

 

[BootlegPopeye]

That sentence reminds me - I've started to notice an annoying tic of Wiki authors (as well as shitlibs on other sites) - they have to say 'former' or 'then President' Trump about events while he was in office; like they can't just say 'President Trump' for events from 2017-2021. Do they do this for any other President? "Former President Lincoln presided over the civil war", its an odd formulation.

I've noticed the same in journalism as well. It is always Mr. Trump, Trump, or something else, never former President Trump, etc. that you see in articles about Obama or Bush. They don't want to give him the dignity of the title anywhere they can.

It is part of what SA users used to call "Goonspeak"

Late Middle English Vocabulary​

Goonspeak makes use of the Late Middle English words hence, thence, thusly, and whilst. These words (with the possible exception of hence) are not at all common in modern English, and their meanings are highly literary.

It's the closest they can get to Damnatio Memorae with him.

Imagine having a literal war for five solid years over an infobox. This is such Wikipedo behavior.

Not merely a faggot, either. A gigantic, enormous faggot of colossal proportions.

Mayfield, Kentucky - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

I just checked this earlier but there was a Jan 6 spergout paragraph because one fucking guy was at the rally from this town, and it was the size of the part on the tornado. Don't berlieve me?

Mayfield, Kentucky - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

In 2021, Mayfield resident Clayton Ray Mullins traveled to Washington, D.C. and was subsequently arrested and charged in the assault of D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer "A.W." amidst that year's United States Capitol attack. Mullins and his home city of Mayfield were also subjects in a long-form New York Times feature about the Capitol attack.[15][16]

It's a form of consoom-"insurrection", of which Wikipedia is a big driver of, just like we had and still have consoom pandemic clickbait stories complete with new variants with flashy names. The media does this with new stories about them every few days just to remind us (and in their minds, help the Democrats in the midterms). I avoid both topics both in MSM and on Wikipedia.
