Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

[Radola Gajda]

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

What they are trying to do is Damnatio in Memoriae . They dont want him to be forgotten they want him to be remembered as mega Hitler who commited Giga Holocaust . Who never did anything positive. And who will come back if you are not good pleb who never ask question and does exactly what party tells him.

This essay about a Wikipedian's penis on the Talk page for Meatotomy is hilarious:

Have you ever wondered who has the most Wikipedia edits? Now you know. It is this man, Steven Pruitt, otherwise known as Ser Amantio di Nicolao.

Naturally he himself has a Wikipedia page.

He probably looks about what you'd expect, except shaven.

What drives a man to start editing Wikipedia for up for four hours a day, with more on weekends? Naturally unemployment. And of course, he is a proud woman respecter. If you have ever read a Wikipedia page about a woman, he has probably edited that page at one point. 4 million edits!

Here is a list of the top ten Wikipedia contributors by total edits:

This chubster has DOUBLE the second place. Imagine only having 2.2 million edits. That's nothing compared to Mr. Pruitt's operatic alter ego. In fact, he has so many edits, one poster on his talk page couldn't understand how it was mathematically possible for a human being to make so many edits in such a relatively short period of time:

This post was written over a million edits ago. The answer to his question basically boils down to editors actually making several edits a minute on average due to how Wikipedia formatting works. And things like redirects and new categories count as brand-new pages. The numbers add up quickly over the years.

Surprising absolutely no one, he is single and lives with his parents:

Here is a list of his 50 most recent edits:

The first thing that struck me looking at this list was that he wasn't editing pages every day and time would actually pass where he did no editing work. I'm not sure if he has slowed down recently or if he usually works in an ebb and flow fashion. I saw that on October 24, 2021, for instance, in a single day he made several thousand edits. I don't know if that's his normal style or not.

Does that article mention if he recieves any compensation for his hard work?

David Edward Stannard (born 1941) is an American historian and Professor of American Studies at the University of Hawaii. He is particularly known for his book American Holocaust (Oxford University Press, 1992), in which he argues that European warfare against the Native American population after the arrival of Christopher Columbus was the largest genocide in history.

Some dogshit historian from Hawaii is deserving of an article because he is a partisan professor in Hawaii of all places and thinks Europeans orchestrated a genocide on people who refused to social distance, accept the science, and wear a mask. The only reason he has an article is that fact, in fact it makes up most of his page.

Amazing setence here. I know you do it for free but did no proof read this?

The talk page is more interesting than the main article. It's really fascinating seeing how far people will go to defend excluding criticism of dubious academic works on bio pages. In the end I think they ended up being forced to allow critics because they found scholarly reviews shitting on this guy's ice cold take.

The one commenter is right. Turning up dead in a field with no inquest and no suicide note is the single notable occurrence in his life. Removing any commentary or sources regarding his suspicious death makes him not worth having an article on.

It's a good find, because they're arguing to remove the only relevant detail of his life but keep the page because talking about his relevance "platforms fringe theories."

So they want to remove it because people might start thinking people coming up dead by 'suicide' is suspicious? Wonder what they think of that CIA agent who was going to leak MK Ultra who died after jumping out his window, allegedly, when a independent investigation found that it was unlikely he could've jumped out and was instead pushed out.

Over at one of the newbie help pages, a new user claims to have DID and be part of a system:

Spoiler: Disorder introduction

They ask a later question about starting an essay about their condition and what pronouns they go by, and said essay can be found here. Convenient that they're "not safe to be medically dxed".

This user's been temporarily blocked from editing the Wikipedia and User namespaces (with their associated talkspaces) for 31 hours for using Wikipedia as a social network, though other users have raised concerns that the block may be unjustified. The translation that TheHamiPotterGeek provides strongly suggests they're doing some roleplaying.

Are there any Chad or Stacey wikipedia editors?

List of tomboys in fiction - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Extremely notable subject: Fictional tomboys. Certainly in need of a list on Wikipedia and not somewhere as unscholarly as Tvtropes.

Here's a look at the contents of the Talk Page:

Too much anime is goddamned right. It's almost entirely nerds breathing heavy over anime girls.

If you have to invoke Dragon Ball Wiki or character bios in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, I don't think your subject matter is notable.

Wikipedia only accepts reliable sources, of course.

Heres a vital article on an important topic in psychology that has been left to rot for almost a decade; a prime example on the unevenness of wikipedia as source.

This is more Google than Wikipedia, but look at this, if you look up prolific child molester Walter Breen, the husband of another child molester, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and they are now mostly known for their prolific child molestation of children including Bradley's own daughter, his infobox level Google response is that he is most famous as a "numismatist," that is, an autist obsessed with coins.

Here's the screen.

To Wikipedo, Walter Breen's most notable characteristic is that he collected coins, not that he molested children.
