Call For Halt To Wikipedia Webcomic Deletions
ObsessiveMathsFreak writes "Howard Tayler, the webcomic artist of Schlock Mercenary fame, is calling on people not to donate money during the latest Wikimedia Foundation fund-raiser. This is to protest the 'notability purges' taking place throughout Wikipedia, where articles are being removed en-masse by what many see as overzealous admins. The webcomic community in particular has long felt slighted by the application of Wikipedia's contentious Notability policy. Wikinews reporters have recently begun investigating this issue, but are the admins listening?"
I got a note from your mom saying I'm notable. But it's not worth anything. She gives it to all the guys.
perhaps you're right in case of garage bands; but I've seen plenty of pr0nstar bio's queued for deletion just because they were too short. And I mean some well-known stars ... :-)
This is slashdot. Tildes do not work here.
I know, I know... force of habit now.
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
No wonder my interpretation of special relativity
Eazy-E = MC Hammer^2
got corrected so soon.
I hope, when they die, cartoon characters have to answer for their sins.
People marked it a troll because Slashdot doesn't have an option to mark the posting "not notable".
Wow, crapping all over a free project! What a responsible and mature individual you must be.
Kinda like yelling at someone over the internet.
Arrogant prat.
Oh, the irony is delicious!
I laughed at the weak who considered themselves good because they lacked claws.
