I unironically imagine Bkissin as a soyjak.
Also I guess pages explaining what chris has done is bad and "literally encyclopedia dramatica"

After an absolutely thrilling read on the Philosophic Sagacity of Henry Odera Oruka, you can imagine my delight when I scroll to the very bottom of the page and see him listed in the category "Kenyan ethicists," only to be emotionally devastated when it turns out Mr. Oruka is the only notable Kenyan ethicist in existence and the category contains no other names.

It seems to me that if a category ever says "This category contains only the following page," then it shouldn't be a category.

most of his dox is in an earlier edit of his user page. it's easy to look up a lot of these people but they are all the exact same politispergs you see everywhere on twitter. imo there's little point in sharing because they're boring and they'd love the attention.

Hilarious they are adamant Chris isn't notable enough even after this stunt. Will they continue this line of thought when CNN starts reporting on Chris?
As for that user, I've come to the conclusion Wikipedia users are a lot like Redditors on Ask___ Subs. Self proclaimed experts who huff each other's facts and display too much information to let the world know they are morbidly obese losers.

"GorillaWarfare" strikes again. Based on it's interactions and activity, it wouldn't surprised if this person was an SPLC staffer or something similar. I haven't seen GW's dox though so I can't prove it absolutely.

There are a couple of other editors (not admins, another sign I was misremembering it) who monitor any kind of Russiagate related changes. I would have to go and look at those articles talk pages again. Been out of the loop on Wikipedia stuff for a few months, not to mention I am enjoying Christ drama atm.

if you don't know it already, this tool helps for finding edits to a specific article and this one for a specific editor's history. makes it way easier than digging through wikipedia itself.

This bitch really needs to go outside. She probably has one of the most dumb self documented accounts on that site that I have seen. Seriously is creating or working on certain articles some sort of street cred for those people? I'm asking because religiously working on articles with political connotations (almost always the types that will get several disparaging buzzwords thrown at them) only makes you look stupid.
It really doesn't need to be said but Wikipedia was a mistake when you have the same few people hovering in certain articles. I wonder of it is as bad as Reddit moderators.

For those unaware, reddit has a serious problem with "Power Mods", accounts that moderate dozens, if not hundreds, of very popular subreddits. I say "accounts" rather than "individuals" because I find it exceedingly unlikely that these accounts are run by a single person, it's physically impossible for them to have time to moderate all those boards and the ability to dictate what users of a very popular website see is too powerful to pass up. I'm sure you're not surprised to hear that the subs most effected by them are related to current events, politics, and popular billion-dollar hobbies. In the lead up to the 2016 elections some people actually started looking into power mods, trying to see if they had any connections to social engineering groups, particularly "Correct the Record", a group open about it's purpose of manipulating social media to aid the Clinton campaign. I can't recall what they found, but many people got suspended for vague violations and many removed posts. CTR dissolved and reformed under a new name shortly after. More recently, a image floated around detailing how a particular power mod had massive control over the top-50 boards and speculation was rampant about how they were likely using it for financial gain. Anyone who reposted it found their account perma'd from many of the biggest subs, effectively soft banning it. Reddit admins are complicit, as you might expect.
Wikipedia doesn't seem nearly as bad. Judging from the thread, there are definitely a decent amount of users and moderators who are nakedly partisan and actively try to control the narrative around certain subjects, however they seem much more limited in the amount of articles they're able to control. I Can't say why though. Wikipedia seems to maintain a fairly byzantine set of rules and a bizarre hierarchy, so for all I know it could contain mechanisms to prevent power modding, however selectively enforced they may be.
Personally, I'd be very surprised to see a single account controlling discussions the way they do on reddit. There are groups that certainly stand to gain from manipulating Wikipedia, but they're probably not so brazen about it.

It happens, but Wikipedia has rules that require public disclosure for paid editors and people with conflicts of interest. Usually what you see are those accounts and anonymous IP editors (which can be unmasked too to a certain institution) working to manipulate pages to minimize controversies and make the subject look better. All sorts of politicians and corporations do this. With how Wikipedia makes decisions over article content (i.e. screeching and flinging shit in the talk pages), having the paid editor badge or being accused of having a conflict of interest means you've already lost.

You might be surprised at the sheer capacity of a single person with no life whatsoever. E.g., Tardfinn on plebbit.
This is actually partly the reason. Unlike places like plebbit, Wikipedia is at least nominally based on rules about what kind of sources are appropriate, so unless you control the sources, you can't really control the narrative. Hence you see the worst nonsense on WP in topics only retards care about enough to go to the effort of actually controlling the sources, i.e. GAAAAAAAAAAMERGATE and troon shit and other similar nonsense.

You may have heard of this guy but I'm amazed how whitewashed a man who spread HIV to women is. No photograph of him on the page btw.

Here are some highlights, including the classic muh racism and I never knew I was HIV positive!

The Wikipedia page for the International Unicycle Federation is pretty much all copy-and-pasted from their official website, but there is included a handy little map of the nations of the world that are official members. Did you know that unicycling is more popular in Israel than Spain? You know now. Thanks, Wikipedia!
I first stumbled upon the International Unicycle Federation while reading the page for Jack Halpern, a fairly interesting polyglot dweeb most academically known for his work on a Japanese-English dictionary and establishing the first and only Yiddish-speaking club in Japan. As much was written about his unicycling endeavors as his linguistic profession, however. Did you ever wonder who was responsible for first seriously introducing the sport of unicycling to Japan? Jack Halpern. China? Jack Halpern. "Other countries?" Jack Halpern.
Some day in the future when the International Unicycle Federation finally reaches its coveted goal of establishing some genre of unicycling as an Olympic sport, Jack Halpern will have been an important pioneer in the history of the Olympics games. Until then, it's all just silly.

I do notice his page is distinguished from other Jack Halperns by "(linguist) but I wonder if "(unicyclist)" would be more honest. Looking back at his original page entry from 2008, even then it included a more subdued description of his unicycling activities.
