Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

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.
What the article describes is not the typical implementation of the 4-day work week anyway, usually they are four longer days I.e 10-hour days, where you get 40 hours over 4 days instead of over five. Not this work less but still get paid the same amount of money shit that would attract lazy Wikipedia bums.
 
Yeah I was gonna mention this, most of the proposals I see for 4 day workweeks are to do with reducing traffic and giving people more free time by compressing work into 4 10-hour days instead of 5 8-hour ones.
 
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...)

This reminds me of some African president's article where he was a massive criminal thug and the wikipedia article tried to gloss over it as much as possible.
 
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.
If they were wholesale copyright infringement, there could be substantial liability for having it up in any form.

The Doug Caldwell dude seems very much a lolcow. Here's where they first began talking about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1108#Doug_Coldwell_and_self-promotional_editing

He was an absolute sperg who bragged about how many Good Articles he's gotten and shit in response to people calling him out for writing dumb articles promoting himself. This eventually led to it being found out that he copied a lot of offline books in most of the articles he wrote.

After being banned he came back with sock accounts to be banned even more: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1136377326#User:Doug_Coldwell

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.
They do it all the time now for anything "dead name" related. I've also seen it start popping up on celebrity pages (non tranny ones) claiming vandalism or some shit. Its very odd given what wikipedia is supposed to be.

Edit: For example, Demi Moore has tons of edits removed with a blanket "Tags: Undo Reverted possible BLP issue or vandalism"

Wow what was this guy posting? All his edits are hidden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.166.7.179

It was the person whose edits were removed who was claiming BLP issue or vandalism.
 
It's quite dumbfounding that the names of children of famous people, whether they've actually done anything in life aside from being the child of a famous person can be listed

Such an outstanding example of the unbiased and well-informed Wikipedia community.

On the article for Mitch Lucker i recall a hidden note being added to the page (hidden notes are things you can only see while in edit mode) about not adding his daughter's name to the section about donating to her charity after he died because it was unethical to disclose the name of a little kid or something

I can demonstrate I have made 234 Good Articles. Of those in 2020 I made 60 Good Articles in a 60 day period of time, averaging 1 Good Article per day. I have created 500 Did You Know articles. Here is a list of my multiple article Did You Knows. Here is a list of my Did You Knows that have been placed in DYK Hall of Fame. This article was put on the main page as an official Did You Know 36 hours from when I created it. Do you need more?

This guy would have had an orgasm if one of his articles ever became featured.
 
In the Harry Potter book series and the shared universe in which its film adaptations are set, goblins are depicted as strange, but civilised, humanoids, who often serve as bankers or craftsmen. Depictions of goblins in Harry Potter, however, have often been criticized as anti-Semitic. [23]
In an article supposedly about creatures from folklore, Wikipedia editors need to remind you that Harry Potter is offensive.
 
It's hilarious because I am pretty sure descriptions of goblins and goblin like creatures that are greedy and steal gold/money are old as fuck, dating to before Jews were expelled from Israel by Hadrian and even present in places that had not seen jews until almost the 19th century like Japan.

Absolutely obcessed.

Funny that Tolkien isn't called out for the same thing a few lines above that. I did a bit of research and found that a user named Throckmorpheus slipped that line in last February.

This section of his talk page is about some no-name game company, the sort of thing that no one but someone personally linked to the subject would think to make an article about. Surprise, surprise, this company has a mission statement that reads in part:

Some trannies or something said:
We are meaningfully invested in anti-fascist action, in Indigenous stewardship over colonized land, in Queer and disabled joy, in the dismantling of the capitalist carceral state, and in the survival and prosperity of all those who have been marginalized by an unjust and cruel society. We believe all of this is possible within our lifetimes, and while tabletop role-playing games are not direct action, we want to make a tool that empowers all of us to dream of frameworks outside the ones we stand against today.

Possum Creek also has a Patreon where they post supplemental material for GMs and essays about game design, but also short stories, one of which is titled "Digital Faggot Suicide Heaven". A couple of photos of the owners on Twitter:

I actually said eugh when I saw this.png

So these are the people who added that.

Goblins truly are the most oppressed minority. First their culture was stolen and attributed to the jews, and now they can't even reclaim it without being labeled antisemitic.

Just let the goblins be. Everybody likes gold anyway, and it's not like we chose to have big noses like a Jewish stereotype!
 
Rapper Azealia Banks mocks Pakistani descent singer Zayn Malik and African-American actress Skai Jackson and editors were quick to note that it was considered "racist" and "homophobic".

But when she goes on a tirade against Irish people, telling them that they're inbred and mocking the Great Famine, as well as calling Swedes blonde pigs who deserve to be bombed, neither incident is explicitly called "racist". Just "xenophobic". I wonder how users will word her article if she goes on a rant about smelly Indians deserving to be bombed by the British.

Just wanted to say, Wikipedia almost never describes niggers as "African-American" in the opening sentence, they're just "American". Same with the vast majority of other people. Like a broken record, they point out policies against linking/singling out ethnicities and people possessing multiple nationalities. So this must be a special case if no one see's anything wrong with that.

A trans woman, she is thought to have been the first openly transgender war correspondent and the only transgender journalist covering the invasion.
They always insert these things in there as if they matter but never actually explain to us why they should matter. Who fucking cares whether or not a tranny is following this war?
