Investigation[edit]​

Representative Dan Burton, then the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, once publicly questioned the use of White House staff, postage, and stationery to answer mail addressed to the cat.[13]

What a dipshit, no wonder Clinton got two terms

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Of all the shit to question Clinton on they focused on the fucking cat, the likely only non-corrupt White House resident at the time. I would say "without a kill list" but knowing cats the rodents and roaches from the House and nearby garden are probably all on the Clinton Kill List.

In their defense had they gone after anyone seriously they would have a forced retirement in an early grave.

Nah, he was in bed with big tuna.

 

[Calandrino]

I want all my taxes that pay for gay shit like hospitals for children to be diverted to answering mail on behalf of cats

My new favorite example of bad journalism producing a terrible Wikipedia article is ElonJet, the Twitter account used by a serial extorter named Jack Sweeny. Journalists to a man regurgitated every piece of bullshit he fed them and very carefully avoided the words "extortion" or "blackmail", so so the article never mentions it despite him admitting that he harasses rich people and is willing to stop that harassment in exchange for money and favors. Note that "it's all publicly available data" makes everything he does perfectly acceptable and even heroic, but can you imagine the reaction if @Null had accepted Byuu's offer, or offers from other lolcows?

"No wrong tactics, only wrong targets" is the modus operandi employed by the power structure at this moment. Except for violence.

I just randomly stumbled across this.

That's the entire page.

Investigation reveals a user who recently was banned for plagiarizing dozens of edits, although a lot of the edits he did were pre-2010. Wikipedia editors autistically went back through all of his contributions and found edits from legit 15+ years ago that have long since been overwritten to ding him for it. The user himself is also mildly interesting, he's one of those obsessive Wikipedia editors and he constantly submitted his articles for "Good Article" status. You can see all this on his talk page, alongside him crying to try and get unbanned (it didn't work). I just find it amusing that an entire article has effectively been blanked for a whole week because of this. Here's another of his articles that has been effectively blanked for plagiarism. He's been dinged for so much copyright violation that I just don't have the time to go through it all.

I've never seen so many sections on one page, and he has 30 pages of archives. But where are his edits? His edit history shows nothing after December, which can't possibly be true. Can the jannies there erase all evidence that an edit existed?

Also, if he wasn't doing this as some long-term troll then this guy is probably suicidal right now.

Is the gamergate article still locked?

Maybe? Whats this mean in wikinerd speak?

 

[Sicko Hunter]

Raz Simone the warlord of CHAZ during the 2020 riots in Seattle has a hilariously positive article considering the shit he did. This guy literally handed out assault rifles to random people to defend CHAZ which helped set in motion the paranoia that got two young black men killed and is described as a "recording artist, songwriter and political activist" (To be fair all those things are true but still...)

[Fat Tub of Lard]

Is it just me, or does the article on four-day work weeks read like an uncritical advertisement for the idea?

It's super mega locked down and only veteran wikipedos can touch it. A glance at the talk page makes it clear that the article will stay like this until the end of time.

I'm not sure what you're looking at but I can see his edits going all the way back to 2006. That being said, and this is something I've never seen before, they have actually erased some of his edits. Look at the crossed-out ones, that's not exactly "normal."

This was actually shocking. I had always thought that Wikipedia edit history stays up forever, but nope. They can just erase a revision from history. If an article said something against the current narrative 15 years ago, they can just erase that old version and no one will ever know. That's fucked.

I saw it done several times, especially when someone mentions a tranny's birth name. It's just your plain old censorship.

They need a tool like that for when there is content that can't be anywhere on the site because it's illegal or they don't want to be a permanent repository for it, like dox on randos or ISIS recruitment speeches. Trannies do love to abuse it when they defend articles about one of their own, though.

Not rare, compare the intros of Weather Underground and Some white supremacist group that was active for less than a year to see how they can color organizations based on their preferences.

Check the founders too, you'll often see leftie terrorists described as "activists" with their crimes mentioned in a paragraph several lines down, while right wing ones are called terrorists from the get go.

It's called revision deletion or RevDel. There's also oversight.

It's frequently used to protect trannies.

Well when all your sources are written by biased hacks and your site is staffed by jobless bums with clear political biases, of course they will be for working less.
