Slashdot Mirror

You could just look at his edit history if you want to see what those 3 million edits consist of. It appears that many of the edits are very small, and so far today he mostly added and edited categories on a few dozen articles. For instance he edited four soccer game articles and changed the category from "August 19xx sports events" to "August 19xx sports event in Europe". That consisted of 6 edits in 6 articles within 2 minutes. Another half dozen edits were editing dashes on various articles he had previously edited using a script (changing "1911-12" to "1911–12").

I have only looked at 20 of his edits which mostly took place in a 10 minute period, but it at least shows how his total edit count can get so high after only 13 years. He made 15 edits in a 6 minute period earlier this morning.

Meanwhile, at a place much further north than you are anywhere in the continental USA, we're having an abnormally warm December, wet and not white Christmas, with temperatures barely dipping below freezing if at all.

Riddle me that one, smart guy.

which was awarded to E. Topol, R. Califf, F. Van de Werf, P.W. Armstrong, and their 972 co-authors,
for publishing a medical research paper which has one hundred times as many authors as pages.

How about the Wikipedia page for George W Bush, with 46,000 revisions by 14,500 authors? It has about 2 words per author or 1/2 word per revision. https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtoo...

Although I must say that it is pretty impressive for a research paper to be so nearly comparable to one of the most controversial wikipedia pages in terms of authors.

Why are people saying things (not only on slashdot) like "nobody has ever deployed a probe to [the Moon's] far side" Is there a joke I'm not getting?

This is why there are only a handful of DC transmission lines in the world

How big are your hands? Wikipedia has a "few" (200+) examples of HVDC transmission lines. And a here's a cool map showing the inverter stations.

Many bible historians claim that the majority of historians disagree with him. They produce no evidence to support the "majority of historians" claim, not even the majority of historians specializing in the early imperial roman history of the levant.

Note that bible historians and historians do not really work in the same field of endeavour. One important difference is that the former treat scripture as *privileged evidence* with greater authority than any other source, including glaring lack of evidence and counter-evidence in other sources and available through other methods (modern stratigraphic archaeology and small finds analysis, for instance).

Finally, most historians -- and perhaps even some bible historians -- are unlikely to be persuaded by or feel fairly represented by any wikipedia page that has been the subject of numerous disputes, which is flagged as being subject to a current neutrality dispute, and has been subject to nearly 6000 edits by 1500 editors.

John 4:8 tells us God is love

The Hittites (among many others) would have beg to differ:

Deuteronomy 20:17: But thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee;

Deuteronomy 7:1: When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

Exodus 32:2: And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

Love, you say? Well, if there is one thing that I love is how people cherry-pick quotes (from the very same source, no less) to prove the others wrong which, incidentally, it's exactly what I did here -- and no, the irony is not lost on me.

The Center for Sutton Movement Writing is a 501c3 education non-profit founded in 1974. They have been doing amazing work in a very open way. The have released their font software under SIL's open font license. They have released their server software under the GPL. They have released their standards documents under Creative Commons by-sa. They have even started working with the MeidaWiki foundation to develop the software needed for the first encyclopedia in a sign language, available online: ase.wikipedia.wmflabs.org. They've been operating on a shoestring budget and deserve support. A really impressive organization with a bright future.
