Years ago, when I edited Wikipedia for fun and wasn't aware of it's horrors, I referred to a page on a non-binary they/them freakshow as a "she", and got talk page warnings about respecting pronouns. If there's one policy that seems to be enforced without any fail, it's the gender identity/pronouns one.As for blocking as punishment, the case of Athaenara was discussed a few months back in this thread. She was an admin and a 16-year veteran editor who was permanently banned and even denied talk page access for offending a troon. She said,
User talk:Athaenara - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
You can argue it's not punishment, it's preventing damage by deterring behavior. Except deterrence is still punishment. And in Athaenara's case the "harm" was that some troon might read her talk page and be offended that an anonymous person denies xir gender identity. So to "protect" Wikipedia she was not even allowed to discuss her situation with others.
Also, lol @ Athaenara's talk page being blue locked.
I'm assuming a "reliable source" described it as wacist and editors felt that Azaelia banks thought she was better than the younger negress. Therefore, it should be counted as racist, but not telling entire ethnicities to go get bombed or starve to death.

The 7th Floor Group was a US deep state faction made up of US State Department officials. Over the years, the term has been used for the State Department leadership.[1]
The group was first exposed on 17 October 2016 by a reference in an FBI investigation report arising from the Hillary Clinton email controversy. Interest has been heightened by the fact that FBI documents refer to it as a "shadow government" inside the US State Department.[8] By November 2016, another suspected reference to the group was in the public record, an email on Wikileaks by Roberta S. Jacobson to her "7th floor colleagues."[9]
After the 17 October 2016 publication of the FBI report, a Wikipedia user created a page on the group, but it was speedily deleted on 8 November 2016, after a vote yielded 9 votes to 'Delete' and 1 (anonymous) one to 'Keep'.[16] In spite of the FBI document in which it is termed a "shadow government", the 7th floor group was deemed a "non-notable conspiracy theory" with a "lack of reliable secondary sources".[17]
Although as a corporate controlled media outlet, CNBC is deemed reliable, their breaking of the story[18] was treated as a primary source, since a Wikipedia rule states that "All breaking news stories, without exception, are primary sources..."[17] i.e. Since corporate media only ran one story on this topic, it is not suitable for Wikipedia. By March 2017, the FBI report had been removed[19], but as of February 2018 it was still on the Internet Archive.[20]

The huge Trumpism article is such a stream of balderdash that I can pick a paragraph at random and start reading and be assured of raw nonsense and misinformation.
Notably, this image is used twice in the article, I suppose to really drive the association home:
They use "the Big Lie" in wikivoice in the caption of the birther image:
It doesn't of course fit what the Big Lie is, which is a claim so audacious as to create doubt that someone would lie about it. Trump simply tapped into the existing birther movement, of which there had been widespread awareness for years.
Speaking of which, there is a whole section entitled Falsehoods; Trump bullshits a lot, so you'd think they'd have material, but their examples are surprisingly thin. This example stood out:
Fred's parents were German immigrants, so this spontaneous comment was either a simple slip-up or a figure of speech. Wikipedia omits this context and just says Fred was born in NYC so it can call it egregious.
Another "grandiose" "Big Lie" "falsehood" is Trump saying that Obama founded ISIS, which was clearly not meant literally, as Trump himself later clarified. Even Snopes admits this.

Anything that touches upon Trump on Wikipedia is going to be completely irrational as they are able to use glorified op eds as sources. Take for example their so-called sourcing for the claim that trumpism is fascism - it's a bunch of opinion articles from places like vox.
The coverage on Trump on Wikipedia is so bad, among the worst of any contemporary political figure, that it really seems to cross the line into defamation.

Until the site's admins hit on a fair way to screen out bullshit, which they can never do because everyone is a liar, there will be agenda-driven editors spending a lot of time gathering up enough more or less acceptable sources to advance any narrative they want and then build a moat around it. This request for comment could be a way to protect this article from more serious attacks a year from now if Trump wins the Republican nomination and his fan club tries to do some belated damage control. "We had this discussion a year ago, I'm going to lock it now."

Interesting how it took almost 4 days for someone to call out the obvious insane take, but only took a official wikipedia user with a account a mere 2 hours then to close any more discussion...

Wikispooks huh? That website looks honestly fascinating. I am probably gonna lose a lot of days to aimless browsing there. Seems like a great place to further advance my hatred of the Antichrist.

I'm finding the horseshoe is fast becoming a black hole with both extremist tardlings. Both groups are literally asking for the same protections as the other. I'm of the mind to lease out a closed prison, enlist the top fifty percent of each side, pack it with video cameras, and let's do Stanford properly. Lock them all up and have a "revolution" where the last man standing gets to leave. Fuck, this is almost Mean Guns but without cool dialog.

That troon NewImpartial got topic banned from troonery articles and told to stfu yesterday. Given that the edit history of the account consists of vomiting out edits in accordance with reddit's sex pest population, looks like they won't be doing much more on the site.

My OP for this thread is embarrassingly retarded. I've wanted to make it better for a while. Any suggestions? I want it to reflect specific aspects of Wikitardation, perhaps with sections pointing to particularly appalling acts and, obviously, dumb shit.

AHHAHAHAHAH Daniel fucking Rigal. I love this response "its obvious trolling" yet this fucking doofus used this similar logic of "the sources claim therefore it is" to deny the removal of Byuu's suicide from the KiwiFarms Wikipedia page. From the talkpage, Archive 2 itself:
"Sounds like you have a problem with Kotaku, not with Wikipedia. Take it up with them if you want."
proclaims but when someone comes along and takes a mockery out of said attitude which is prevalent amongst said editors "no that's OBVIOUS trolling, god! we are nothing like that at all!"Because tranny! And take a guess of who pumped up its article status (spoliers: it's Tamzin the troon!)
Sarah Ashton-Cirillo - Wikipedia
Why does this retarded troon get a wikipedia article and Chris doesn't? This is an actual literal who hack journos who is LARPing as a soldier in Hoholia.
And again with another one of Tamzin's articles, the Good Article review was passed in not even 24 hours. I am not even joking here apparently tranny topics only need minor corrections to gain status amongst the top 1% of articles on this website (and this is excluding everything about the articles notoriety in the first place to even warrant an article for themselves anyway).
A previous example of this (already featured in this thread) is the Fucking Trans Women article (a non-notable book about Tranny sex life) which Tamzin predominantly edited managed to get its review done in a speedy 2 hours! (Note the reviewer's, Sammi Brie, glaring infobox on this one, perhaps a bit biased..)
