That tracing woodgrains peice on David Gerard is out - awful.systems

Lemmy

What happens when your spurned ex is a devoted archivist, a Wikipedia administrator, and perhaps the most online man the world has ever known?

I already thought he was cool you don’t have to sell me on it.

Didn’t he violate Wikipedias rules though
hey buddy, uh, you gonna post any sneers in this here SneerClub thread you’ve started?

previously, presently (this thread). also:

I regret to inform you that Trace is hate-reading awful.systems

I lack any concrete evidence, but wouldn’t it just be fucking hilarious

TracingWoodgrains launches a defense of Manifest's controversial reputation, all without betraying a basic understanding of what the word "controversial" means. - awful.systems

…And if it weren’t for that one joke by Hannibal, Bill Cosby would be very uncontroversial.

still hasn’t really posted any sneers :<
although they seem to be really on the ball with posted TWG updates!

Show me a long-time English Wikipedia editor who hasn’t broken the rules. Since WP is editable text and most of us have permission to alter most pages, rule violations aren’t set in stone and don’t have to be punished harshly; often, it’s good enough to be told that what you did was wrong and that your edits will be reverted.

NSFW: When you bring this sort of argument to the table, you’re making it obvious that you’ve never been a Wikipedian. That’s not a bad thing, but it does mean that you’re going to get talked down to; even if your question was in good faith, you could have answered it yourself by lurking amongst the culture being critiqued.
