Just another day

Wikipedia is a friggin' joke, its "editors" (ha!) and "administrators" (haha!) a live mass of snaggle-toothed, slithering, slimy critters that no honest person should have the misfortune to encounter, ever.

Even after you have mastered its byzantine rules, a process that takes many months, you have ZERO guarantee of getting good, solid info into the "encyclopedia" (aahahaha!!) if one of the zillion cliques of warlords, battlenerds and cynical self-marketers object to it.

Case in point, just in the last couple of days: El Reg publishes an update on Captain Cyborg (Kevin Warwick) and notes in a postscript how he and his confederates have kept out even one small paragraph of criticism from the grandiloquent puff piece masquerading as his Wiki "article" (lol). A handful of readers rode into the valley of death, valiantly struggling to insert the paragraph. The first brought an improved reference for the quote, ironclad even by Wiki's "verifiability", "relevance" and "reliable source" standards.

All, all for naught. Warwick (probably Wiki admin "Mdd") and Wiki editors "Bradka" (his secretary), "James Wraight" (his wife), as well as colluding Wiki admin "2/0" (his pet goldhamster) together beat back the onslaught and retired to the pub for beer.

Just another friggin day on the friggin Wikipedia, among the friggin Wikipediots.
