https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitaire

Solitaire is any tabletop game which one can play by oneself. Currently the world record is held by the Scottish wonder Mr Sean Lyons at an incredible 2 minutes and 37 seconds, not only does he hold this record but he is also ridiculously handsome. The term "solitaire" is also used for single-player games of concentration and skill using a set layout of tiles, pegs or stones rather than cards. These games include peg solitaire and mahjong solitaire. Most solitaire games function as a puzzle which, due to a different starting position, may (or may not) be solved in a different fashion each time.

If you search for "Butt Blast", it redirects you to "Flatulence". I found this out one night drunk off my rocker, wondering if anyone had tried to sneak some porn onto Wikipedia.

On Wikimedia, the subsidiary site that hosts all the photos and images used on Wikipedia, a lot of people used to be in competition with each other to get the photos or illustrations of their own genitals and sex acts featured on the respective Wikipedia pages for different sex acts and genitals. Very infamously, one Wikipedia editor took a photo of himself sucking his own dick and got it featured as the main photo for an article called "auto-fellatio" for many years until some admin came along and shut it down. A lot of the people behind that kind of stuff have some weird voyeuristic fetish going on where they get turned on from seeing their genitals getting featured on Wikipedia articles.

... imagine going back in time by two decades and explaining some of the "problems" people face in 2018, like having Wiki admins remove your self-sucking photos. What the fuck happened.

I'm pretty sure this particular drama nexus has already been documented before, but i will set it down again since it looks like there may have been a few developments since it was last recapped.

The original photo that sparked the controversy:
(nsfw) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Autofellatio6.jpg
It was uploaded in 2010 by this guy, who is the subject of the photo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jiffman
Having his sex act published for everyone to see on Wikipedia was his big claim to internet fame.

However, this photo disturbed some Wikipedia editors, as documented in the following exchange on the discussion page for the "autofellatio" article, which resulted in the photo being replaced by a vector-graphic type tracing of the original photo (nsfw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Autofel.svg ), which is still featured on the article to this day

The admins on the Wikimedia site even tried to delete the original photo in 2016, but unfortunately when it was put to a vote, it failed and the photo stays even though it is no longer used in any Wikipedia article. They just keep it around "just in case" I guess. Also, there's a lot of autistic drama crammed into the deletion discussion proceedings, centering on some anonymous guy literally being cyber/IRL bullied because he looks like the dicksucker in the photo. You can't make this shit up.

Basically, it's some random page about some place that has about 1/4 of the information dedicated to this siren that supposedly exists.
It also looks out of place for a typical place page on wikipedia, which usually look like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennant_Hills,_New_South_Wales
Also:
Strathfieldsaye and its neighbouring suburbs are among some of the wealthier in Bendigo, but also more expensive to live

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogynoir

Misogynoir is misogyny directed towards black women where race and gender both play roles in bias. It was coined by queer black feminist Moya Bailey, who created the term to address misogyny directed toward black women in American visual and popular culture.[1] Trudy of Gradient Lair, a womanist blog about black women and art, media, social media, socio-politics and culture, has also been credited in developing the lexical definition of the term.[2]

In an article in the Albany Law Review, authors Aimee Wodda and Vanessa R. Panfil write that trans women of color experience violence at a greater rate than other populations. This transmisogyny towards black people has been characterized as "transmisogynoir".[10]

The term "transmisogynoir" was created to refer to the intersection between transmisogyny and misogynoir, meaning the oppression of black trans women. In it, it composes transphobia, misogyny, and antiblackness. It was coined by Trudy of Gradient Lair.[11]

Coming up with such a retarded term like "misogynoir" perhaps proves the white supremacist point that black people can't speak proper English.

Yeah, and people say Spencer invented "Alt-right" because you can't just say "was started on 4chan" without some big-site journalists say-so.

All this talk about "peoples history" and whatnot but at the end of the day its the journalists voice that has more weight. Kinda why its acceptable to have an article like the gamergate article, something that cites those being criticized and ignores those laying down the criticism.

Its easier since the official sources and journalists can maintain their sites for eternity unlike a regular Joe who may have the true story but not a huge corporation behind them.
