So let me get this straight, leaving a minority neighborhood is racist but choosing to live in one is also racist? Do they want their ethnic enclaves or not?

White people can't do anything good according to them. It's dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. This is just their way of saying "we dislike white people but if we're openly anti-white than all our money will be gone!"

Someone removed the "Notable suicides" from the "Suicide by jumping from height" article and excused deesrespekt.

Spoiler: Talk page

I've reverted the removal of the "Notable suicides" subsection because the reasons given for it in the edit summary - 'distasteful and seems like it is celebrating suicide" - are clearly covered by WP:NOTCENSORED. We've had many discussions here at Wikipedia about whether suicide should be given any special treatment or display any particular sensitivity and the almost-uniform decision has been that it should not. (Search on "suicide" at the Village Pump and at AFD to find many such results.) But I'm wondering if a case cannot be made for removing that list in this article for this reason: Lists of examples in an article, just like images, are supposed to be included to help illustrate the article in a way that the text cannot. I'm not sure that this list does that in this article: What does a list of notable suicides really add to the discussion of suicide by this method? While it might be an acceptable standalone list, does it really belong here where it's not really on topic? On the other hand, lists of notable examples in articles are widespread and the rule these days seems to be that the list should be appropriate in length and notability in relation to the size of the article such that the tail does not wag the dog. So much so that the idea that I mentioned above about helping to illustrate the article in a way the text cannot may have gone away. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

More than one news site that I read has a policy of providing information for people thinking of suicide at the end of any news item dealing with suicide. This is a list of best practices for reporting. I know we're not *reporting* on suicide, but it is similar in some ways. The list of "notable suicides" was only added in October. It seems to have been fine without it for over a decade. I don't understand why it would suddenly become necessary now. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 21:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

The page used to have a section on "notable suicides" but it was removed in 2010 by Mahanga who seems to have been an admin at that time. No one objected. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 21:37, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I think WP:UNCENSORED should work on trannies' names! ;D

GorillaWarfare has started campaigning for removing cryptocurrency donations from Wikipedia recently.

From her 'proposal':

• Accepting cryptocurrency signals endorsement of the cryptocurrency space by the Wikimedia Foundation and members of the Wikimedia Movement. Cryptocurrencies are extremely risky investments that have only been gaining popularity among retail investors particularly in recent times, and I do not think we should be endorsing their use in this way. In accepting them, I believe we are mainstreaming the usage of "investments" and technology that are inherently predatory.

If accepting them implies 'endorsement of the cryptocurrent space' kind of fait acompli in the light of the fact that it has accepted them for years?

• We risk damaging our reputation by participating in this. One of our peers in the non-profit, FOSS space (Mozilla) is reevaluating their choice to accept cryptocurrency donations after considerable backlash from their supporters, including from their own founder Jamie Zawinski (aka jwz) ([1]).

'Reevaluating' so they haven't actually done what you are implying, that there is some massive banning of crypto. Who cares what some has-been inventor of a shitty browser thinks.

As we've already discussed before, this isn't some principled objection to valid cryptocurrency concerns (such as the way mining fucked with the GPU market), but annoyance on her part that crypto is a means to get around financial service deplatforming, ie this cunt totally supports corporate-oligarch rule over what people can say.

White people could mass suicide and they still won't be happy.

If all whites suddenly dropped dead today they will still bitch and moan about living in the legacy of them evil white people tomorrow. They are incappable of ever being happy.

I support this idea. It's a great idea.

And once this goes through, she should propose that the foundation no longer accept donations in USD because the United States is an imperial fascist white supremacist country. And then all other currencies because participating in the trading of "money" is just delaying the downfall of exploitative systems of capitalism around the world and the rise of a communist utopia where all aspects of creating a web server, from mining the ores to assembling the motherboards, will be done for free for the interest of humanity. This plan will totally work and not lead to the premature downfall of the whole project.

Goddamn what a batch of absolute foaming at the mouth crazies. They bring up every seething liberal talking point about crypto no matter how ridiculous. It was like literally one day that all these NPCs started vomiting the same crap arguments about crypto. Maybe they really did switch on the G5 towers and turn on the nanobot mind control.

If all whites suddenly dropped dead today they will still bitch and moan about living in the legacy of them evil white people tomorrow. They are incappable of ever being happy.

They'd just declare light skinned black people to be the new honkies and start persecuting them.

I mean even if they did banned it? Oh my, oof. It's over guys, wikipedia might be pulling out of crypto. All crytpofags on round the clock suicide watch!
And is it just me or does that lady write in a manner like she wants add white supremacy to the list of reasons?

She does. She's one of those. It's her purpose to vandalize Wikipedia into being an SJW cesspool regardless of facts or NPOV. And like most of these frenzied crypto haters, who recoil from it like a vampire from a cross, she mindlessly regurgitates the same tired old arguments without even thinking about them.

I hope she loses Wikipedia a lot of money, the dumb cunt.

Damn white people and their *checks notes* nonexistence.

They already do that, at least in the inner city. I wish I was joking but among blacks the lighter your skin the more white you are, therefore an oppressor.

I was actually betting that Asians and Indians (if they don't drop dead because they are genetically Caucasian) would be next on the chopping block, because they're already infinitely more successful than most blacks and would no longer have whites to take shit for them.

They already passively discrimate against Asians and Indians, but it's really a competition between them and the Jews, and Jews are only a protected people by whites.

They do a pretty good job defending themselves these days, too. Even if some of it is funded with fundie bux.

If Wikipedia wants to deplatform themselves voluntarily from funding, fine with me. Fuck them, they can burn and die.
