This a tranny. Check the chin and neck, it had Photoshop all over, plus the hairline recedes too much for a woman with long hair (is a wig), plus filter and makeup, plus a lot of photoshop retouch.
Definitely a trap if you are not careful.

I love how the Kiev/Kyiv debate on Wikipedia results in nonsense like this article where the city is spelled both Kiev and Kyiv in the same article, like some idiot or machine did a lazy search and replace. It happens in other articles related to medieval Russia too, although strangely not the article on the medieval Principality of Kiev. According to this, our favorite Germanophobic deletionist K.e.coffman back in 2020 claimed it is Wikipedia policy to preserve references to Kiev as Kiev so long as its "a preponderance of sources." This results in silly things like this article on an Eastern Front battle in Kiev (as well as the aforementioned Principality of Kiev article) where we have frequent references to "Kiev (Kyiv)" unlike, say, "Constantinople (Istanbul)" on literally any Byzantine/Ottoman-related article.
I believe you'll find the same thing in many Ukrainian history articles as it relates to Lithuania, Poland, or Russia. It's pure insanity.
However, Wiktionary is much less attuned to current politics, as the Ukrainian "Kyiv" defines it as "Kiev" as do the pages on the etymology and translations of foreign language spellings like Polish Kijów.
It's a complete shitshow, evidently because Ukraine in 2020 put out a diktat to the world on how to spell things in their country and 2022's events produced a bunch of useful idiots dedicated on overturning how things have been spelled in English for centuries but Wikipedia produces bizarre compromises like these that makes the articles look like utter garbage.

God bless Wikipedia vandals trying to sneak shitty memes into articles. I loved reading the revision page for the cartoon Arthur and seeing how often someone tried to sneak in "that ass was fat" or "he does it for free" into the characters page.anything related to sneed is pretty funny on wikipedia

Edit: Just checked the page for E-I-E-I- (Annoyed Grunt) and yes, they have a small section for Sneedposting, and they have an article on Shitposting. With all that known they expect me to give them money for some reason.

The updated bold part on CHUCksville really takes the cake here. Though, for some reason, I almost read it as CUCksville.anything related to sneed is pretty funny on wikipedia

Man spreading and a forced meme made by a woman to victimize herself and deflect criticism. Milkshake duck doesn't deserve an article but, since there were cries of "gamergate", it had to be added by a zealot. How are these even related?Catloaf - Wikipedia

They do that whenever an actor or actress' article lists many roles they played, even for comparatively minor thespians. Better than having a colossal list in the middle of a bunch of text lol!
Because they definetly have some biased staff. Yaniv's article almost painted him like an angel despite him being a colossal asshole and a predator, and they still list him as an activist despite being a grifting pedophiliac pile of horseshit. Ironically, some of the versions in other languages go in the opposite direction, the Croatian one was infamous for being Stormfront lite lol!

But plenty of VA's and relatively minor actors used to have that on their main page, this just feels like making an article for making an article's sake.

I consider this to be one of the more serious Wikipedia problems - that is, either lying about what a source says or in some cases changed/fabricating quotes. This one is easier to spot because the original NASA press release is easily found online, but I mentioned a few months ago that sometimes Wikipedos will do this with statements that are sourced from obscure, not-online books - continue to use the source, but when you actually go and look the cited page up (if you have the time to actually get the book - in one case, I happened to own it) - it says the exact opposite.

This is also a problem in academic papers, especially the softer disciplines whose citation style isn't "Theorem 1.2.3 on page 45 of this edition of this book" but "Rosenstein said that somewhere in one of his 1974 publications". Have fun reading entire books to find out the claim is mentioned nowhere.

I've read articles on topics which I'm a specialist in where the cited material doesn't appear in the works referenced. In one case I went and looked it up in my copy of the book in question and (finding nothing) edited the page myself alerting the staff to the problem. I was banned from editing for my trouble.
The worst part about it is it's often seemingly unimportant details, which must only matter to one person's weird agenda.

Best part of that article is 90% the talk page is just dedicated as to whether or not to use male or female pronouns for him based on a single youtube video he made.I found the Wikipedia page for randy stair. It’s an embarrassing page
