  1. Wikimedia wasting donators money by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Wikimedia Executives Receive Six-figure Golden Handshakes (theregister.co.uk)

    What happened to the "child in Africa" Jimbo? Also Wikimedia needs to crack down on their secret police, I'm fed up of having my IP blocked due to "long term abuse" by stewards and checkusers.

  2. Ehm...confusing? by tehniobium · · Score: 2, Informative · on "DonorGate" Is Latest Scandal To Hit Wikipedia

    Go to mr. Wales' blog, scroll right to the bottom and press the "powered by wordpress" link.

    I get "therightpills.com" (tested on 2 computers, so i doubt its adware). Has the self proclaimed dictator of history been hacked?

    :P

  3. Slashdot has the chance to get it right by jwales · · Score: 4, Informative · on A Look at the Editorial Changes on Wikipedia

    It would be grand to see Slashdot promote my correction to the New York Times story, which is totally wrong on the facts. I don't expect the New York Times to issue a correction, of course.

    The facts are that the policy changes that the New York Times writes about were NOT a tightening of editorial policy, were NOT a closing of some articles, but the REMOVAL of certain overtight restrictions, and the OPENING of some articles. Bah, why can't they get it right?

    I can tell you that the reporter understood this fully, fought with her editors over it, and apparently lost. Fine. The Internet can get the story right, even if the NYT can't.

    Here is my correction

  4. That article is horrible by gkhan1 · · Score: 4, Informative · on A Look at the Editorial Changes on Wikipedia
    We've been having a discussion about it on the wikipedia mailing list and Jimbo himself wrote about it on his blog.

    You shouldn't trust these kinds of articles about wikipedia, they almost always get things wrong.

    Is that picture of Jimbo and the gals real? What do the t-shirts say?

    It's the Bomis.com logo. I think the boat is the same one as in the photo on Jimbo's site, but with that U-shaped piece moved downward.
