I was looking up a "Reliable sources" discussion for NewsNation and I found this in the archive:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_465#Pegging (archive)
At this point, after educating people about pegging for the last 14 years, I do indeed qualify as an expert. I am the go-to person for information about pegging in the sex education world.

Could this conversation about the veracity of my 'opinions' in 2017 perhaps be reviewed? I am the only sex educator I know of who specializes in pegging. I have taught countless classes since 2012 (in person and over Zoom) for beginners, equipment, and advanced pegging, and written many, many articles about pegging as well. Were they published in magazines or on websites that made me edit the crap out of what I'd written until it lost its meaning? No. Wouldn't play that game because the message was too important to me, and because they wanted free material.

I am not a person of notoriety like Tristan Taormino or Dan Savage, but that does not mean I don't know what I'm talking about or what I put out into the world about pegging is just my 'opinion'. There have been no 'studies' on pegging and there aren't likely to be anytime soon, for obvious reasons.

I hate all motherfuckers who misspell "wacky".

It's a slang term and always has been, and has no real "correct" spelling. Although the OED prefers "wacky," the earliest recorded uses of the word (dating to the 1930s) use both "wacky" and "whacky."

The whole "they all loved gay people but can't help but murder them because of colonial laws" if anything show the colonized people are retards

80 years of independence and they are incapable of removing those laws? Would anyone say "actually no one in the US was racist, slavery only persisted because of colonial laws"?

Looks like the solution to LGBT phobia is to colonize these countries again but this time add pro gay stuff in the penal code

A hardcore hebrew running defense for Talmud gets pinned down like a butterfly by an entomologist for claiming raping captives isn't rape. Jew uses pilpul - it isn't very effective.

I think this speaks for itself, no need to go on an antisemitic tirade on yet another thread. All I can do is quote CWC: "Mm. Yeah."

Wow. That makes up for the handful of retarded arguments I've had with Wikipedia types and then some.

I've always pronounced/spelled it as "whacky" because of Beavis and Butthead.

(Edit) Thread tax from the Lord of the Rings article:

Two of the citations attached to the last sentence are from journal articles. The titles alone tell me that they are incredibly retarded and I don't need to read them but I'll link them here for any queer Tolkien scholars in the thread. Can't even make gay LOTR jokes anymore without these people ruining it, smh.

"Queer lodgings": gender and sexuality in "The Lord of the Rings" Link
"Wondered at this Change:" Queer Potential and Telling Silence in the Relationship of Legolas and Gimli Link

I don't know how into UFO Disclosure you all are, and I don't care. It's an interesting group full of interesting characters but recently one guy released an interview with an experienced former presidential advsior, Harald Malmgrave. Suspiciously his article has essentially been scrubbed to obfuscate a whole lot of stuff in whats essentially an edit war between 'UFO Trolls' who are trying to revert the article to it's pre April 23rd form and the crusaders valiantly defending the edits, particularly this individual advocating it's protection from vandalism when he is the primary man behind all the changes to the article.

Pre-edit article for comparison and all the autistic shit flinging as wikispergs completely alter the article of a distinguished figure because one UFO kook released a months old interview with the man before his death.

Edit: Ninja'd but Chetsford is the primary sperg and even nominated the article for deleition immediately once the video blew up.

He has also joked about protecting it from vandalism when he is the man behind the edits initially.

Trump prosecutor is grilling Wikipedia.

The letter did not specify which foreign actors were manipulating information on Wikipedia and did not cite examples of alleged propaganda. However, a person close to Martin said he is concerned about “edits on Wikipedia as they relate to the Israel-Hamas conflict that are clearly targeted against Israel to benefit other countries.”

The Anti-Defamation League published a report in March that claimed “at least 30 Wikipedia editors acted in concert to circumvent Wikipedia’s policies to introduce antisemitic narratives, anti-Israel bias, and misleading information.”

According to previous reporting by Pirate Wires, anti-Israel editors on Wikipedia have “hijacked the Israel-Palestine narrative” on the site by erasing key facts and pushing pro-Hamas propaganda.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but they added a new donation banner, this one takes up my whole screen. I don't have a screenshot because it only appears once, then a smaller version appears
 
So I checked a film because of another thread, and I found this gem


Jimmy Governor (c. 1875 – 18 January 1901) was an Indigenous Australian who was proclaimed an outlaw after committing a series of murders in 1900. His actions initiated a cycle of violence in which nine people were killed (either by Governor or his accomplices).

Look at the way its worded, imagine if, lets say, the Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold page started like

Eric David Harris (April 9, 1981 – April 20, 1999) and Dylan Bennet Klebold (/ˈkliːboʊld/ KLEE-bohld; September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999) were American high school seniors who were proclaimed mass murderers after commiting a series of murder in the Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, in Columbine, Colorado. Harris and Klebold initiated a cycle of violence in which 13 students and one teacher were killled.
Of course this animal was declared an outlaw, the page shows it well when it describes:

The following day, Tuesday 24 July, instead of going to the proposed ammunition drop-off location (where the police were waiting) the Governor brothers headed further east. At mid-morning they arrived at Michael O'Brien's selection at Poggy, about eighteen miles southwest of Merriwa. O'Brien's wife Elizabeth, her teenaged son James and a nurse, Catherine Bennett, were sitting in the detached kitchen behind the house. Elizabeth was heavily pregnant and Mrs. Bennett was staying with her to assist with the birth. The brothers suddenly appeared at the kitchen door; Mrs. O'Brien said, "What do you want?" and Jimmy replied: "You speak civil. Surrender, or I will shoot you". With these words, Jimmy fired his gun at the women.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Governor#cite_note-55"><span>[</span>55<span>]</span></a> Elizabeth and Bennett were shot several times, the former also struck by Joe's tomahawk, inflicting a fatal blow. Jimmy broke the rifle stock by using it to beat James to death.

Since the English version of Wikipedia doesn't like to use whites to represent humans, I looked up what image Wikipedia uses for humans across multiple West European languages.


Are you ready to make some guesses?

The Alberto Barbosa made me kek.

Agreed. Its one of the most politically neutral choices out there and you would think that a plaque sent into outer space etched with representations of humans so space aliens would understand what we look like would be the perfect representation for humans.
