    Who the hell has time to get up in the morning and mow the fucking six-acre lawn? Don't these people have jobs? Night life? Anything?

    At the risk of being down-modded as redundant, I'll say it again... What's that? You have an irrational fear of public places that you wish to transfer to your children?

    In fact, if I can see them through a rifle scope, they're too close.

    For them, maybe. :)

    Oh... for some mod points right now.

    Sorry but sheep and goat's milk cheese is fking horrendous. I like what is considered by the general population as some truly horrendous tasting cheeses (blue, regiano etc) but imho sheep and goat's cheese is beyond edible.

    Wait for it... wait for it... here comes the inevitable "This is another Australian story" criticism.

  9. Re:Your kidding, right? on Saving Gas Via Underpowered Death Traps · · Score: 1

    The problem with democracies is that they're limited to the term of the elected leader, and it's almost completely random as to how good the elected leader will be.

    So isn't that at least part of the solution? Demand higher safety standards alongside better mileage?

  11. Re:Let's see... my experience with editing Wikiped on Wikipedia Losing Contributors, Says Wales · · Score: 1

    No, I don't expect fame and recognition from editing wikipedia articles. What I see as a problem is OTHERS looking for that and trying to claim it.

  12. Re:I tried to edit Wikipedia once on Wikipedia Losing Contributors, Says Wales · · Score: 2

    You keep asking this like it's some kind of mantra... when it seems like a lot of these stories from personal experience are in the past and the people in question don't much care anymore. Maybe you should consider that a large number of these stories may actually be true, and there is at least SOME problems with wikipedia's editorial policy. Yes, some of the stories may have no valid basis... but there's a hell of a lot of them and some may actually relate to admin abuse of power.

  13. Re:Start by finding reliable sources on Wikipedia Losing Contributors, Says Wales · · Score: 1

    Or just publish a page and self-cite... like some seem to do.

    How many people outside of wiki editors do you think LOOK at the history page?

  16. Re:Who are you on en.wp? on Wikipedia Losing Contributors, Says Wales · · Score: 1

    I gave up trying to edit seriously about 2-3 years ago, I have no idea what username I was using at the time (or if I even logged in, it may be IP address only)... it was articles connected to various aspects of the Western Australian racing industry (horse racing, greyhound racing, harness racing)... you may be able to work it out but it's 2am here and I'm going to bed, I have no desire to trawl through the articles looking for reverts.

    I got down-modded for posting that response? Seriously, go and check out 'For a Free Internet's posting history, he's either a professional troll or a gifted amateur.

    To be fair, you may be perceived as not being objective if you're editing an article about your own project.

  19. Re:Deletionists are the main problem. on Wikipedia Losing Contributors, Says Wales · · Score: 1

    Your response doesn't address the issue raised by the GP. Judging by your responses so far I'd say that you're currently a wikipedia editor. Perhaps you could take the feedback presented here as a way to improve your own editing, instead of defending other editors with poor practices. No offense intended but some may be taken.

    So your response to a cyber-stalker is to stalk them back? Sounds like a healthy past-time.

    I find it sad that someone downrated your comment (twice!) when it seems to be perfectly reasonable to me from my wiki experiences.

    I've grown up in a particular industry, I've worked in the industry for almost 20 years, it's a small specialist field referring to a particular geographic area in Australia, I try to add information to the pages that already exist and are not complete, I always cite my work when I edit something and I remain factual and not opinionated or personal... yet most of my work continually gets rolled back by editors based in the US who edit camp particular sections of wikipedia and don't seem to like ANY change to their pages.

    Your trolling gets less and less coherent as time goes on. I really don't get what you're trying to do. It must be that kind of night, I'm just not understanding people.
