Whaw: who would have guessed: after years of complaining and raging again "the cabal" on wp; the person to force me out of turns out to be...Dr. Blofeld (T-C-L-K-R-D)
,
May I introduce myself, I am Huldra (T-C-L-K-R-D) on wp (Btw; I have criticized SlimVirgin every way I could for these last few years....except for her silly user-name. As I am probably the only person on WP to have chosen an even sillier user-name (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif) ) Now, about 3 years ago, utterly pissed off by Jayjg and Slim, I found my own quiet little corner of Israel/Palestine -articles: Palestinian Arab villages depopulated during the 1948 Palestine War It was a strange little corner of Wikipedia; every now and then some newbie would start a horrible stub, often half in Arabic, with tons and tons of WP:OR. Typically they would only do a few edits (less that 20) and then disappear from WP totally......which then the "clean-up-task-force" (read: mostly me, Al Ameer son, Tiamut, Ashely (when he´s not blocked) ) would come along and clean up. So we would turn this into Al-Muzayri'a . And this into Al-Nabi_Yusha' . And this into Saqiya. Not superb any of them, but at least a decent start. This last one is typical: I think someone simply put the Khalidi-text (in Arabic) through some automatic translation ..so you get gems like "in recent years on the assignment," ...meaning: "in the last years of the (British) Mandate (of Palestine)" (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) Oh, and some we just never got around cleaning up: Al-Ja'una So, slowly, steadfast during the last couple of years we have been progressing. The huge template has been invaluable...but I could only navigate around it because many of the links were red. Until yesterday. Blofeld comes along and find he does not like red links, and decides that he will start all the red-linked villages...and turn the whole template into on huuuge green soup. And does just that. Now, I cannot manage to navigate with it anymore. Oh, well, Blofeld say he will work on the articles, and he does, but he does not have the sources (books). So far he has added nothing to the "public knowledge", he only copies from web-sites which were freely available, anyway. Re-inventing (or: re-writing) the wheel, so to speak. Now, if actually got hold of the books and educated himself on the topic: great. But I fear that in a short time he will be gone (he has a million other articles to attend too, as he has informed us.) I liked this comment about reaching 3 mill articles on wp: "great, I've managed to poo in every room in the house" Well, I leave it to Blofeld to clean up his own |

I'm always disappointed when I find out the Wikipedia user name of a WR poster, and it turns out to be somebody I've never heard of. Personally, I'd always hoped that the Adversary was Newyorkbrad.
Anyway, happy trails. Will you be sticking around here? |

Ah, my very last DYK: "Did you know, that The Adversary on the wikipediareview website has reputation for being extremely nasty and unpleasant about other wikipedians?" (We can take that as a co-nom, Blofeld and Huldra) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)
And anyway, I am also a stinking nasty little bitch. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif) Oh boy. I have been working on these 48-villages for 3+ years. Now the "Bible" here is the book by Khalidi (1992) , + Morris (2004). Blofeldt does not, AFAK, have even these (basic) books available. When he starts all these articles about the 48-villages, he *only* copies/rehash material which is already on the net. He, IMHO, he simply does not "add value" to the net doing this. Call that what you want. And by doing so he chase away those -at least one- who actually did "add value", ie added information which was not already freely available on the net. I was literally sitting crying my eyes out last night, seeing what he was doing, knowing that it would chase me of WP. I felt run over by a bulldozer. So I don´t really care what he calls me (or I call him). The damage is done. I'm always disappointed when I find out the Wikipedia user name of a WR poster, and it turns out to be somebody I've never heard of. Personally, I'd always hoped that the Adversary was Newyorkbrad. Anyway, happy trails. Will you be sticking around here? I saw him at Naked short selling last summer. He chipped in when Janneyryan and JohnnyB256 seemed to be doing a tag team. Ah yes, one of my better moment (And I´m female! And, eh, born a true troll (It takes one to know one) ....and a hard-core feminist.. (That´s part of horsey that I´m eating in my avatar..yummy.. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) ) and yeah, I might stick around. |

(IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) ..sorry, you do not want that.. I am probaly old enough to be your mother...at least I am old enough to be Blofeld´s mother (I think) ...so go drool somewhere else (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/yak.gif) So why do you keep giving them your labor, freely? Oh, Eric, that is a facinating question. And the answer is....it was the most inexpensive hobby I had! (besides reading..) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) I am a hopeless collector, normally I collect items which comes under the label of "Scandinavian design". I actually came to WP to write about some of those areas ..then, by chance, I ran into Jayjg and SV, and the rest is history, as they say I started "collecting" information about the 1948-villages, and, it might sound strange, but I found that just as fun as, say, collecting some of the things I have collected... And a heck of a lot less expensive. Thekosher, and you, & others, always goes on about the "free work" for WP. The problem for me is that I will have trouble finding a hobby as inexpensive as WP..... |

(IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hmmm.gif) I don't think it works very well. I'm just amazed that someone can announce herself to be a "hardcore feminist" and expect people to treat her with respect. If I was to announce that I was a "hardcore masculinist" who expects women to respect me at every turn, then I'd expect abuse for that position because its not as if I would be arguing for equality. And neither is she. In my experience "hardcore feminists" have a severe sense of humour failure and a startling incomprehension of the male sex that is rooted in bizarre sociological theories of human biology. Perhaps I should announce myself a "hardcore white supremacist" and see how well that goes - maybe we'll find out that diversity of personal belief merely extends to those beliefs that one personally thinks are acceptable - which is exactly how I react to "hardcore feminism" that is as unacceptable to me as hardcore racism. Maybe "The Adversary" will treat males on this board with respect and without condescension - but then that wouldn't be "hardcore", would it? |

If I was to announce that I was a "hardcore masculinist" who expects women to respect me at every turn, then I'd expect abuse for that position because its not as if I would be arguing for equality. <snip> Secondly: as I understand you, your premise is that there is an equality between the sexes, wrt. say social & economical issues. From experience: I strongly dismiss that premise. But if you want to discuss that further: please go to a proper sub-forum (non-public), where I will gladly discuss with you. I will not discuss it further here. It would be helpful to coin a new term for this sort of behavior - I'd suggest something like "blueshitting," since it looks and sounds similar to "bullshit" and involves turning links blue. Unfortunately, it's also vulgar, so they won't want to use it on WP itself... Maybe "bluespitting" (with a "p") would work, or even "wikispraying," though that's not as intuitively descriptive. Alternatively, they could call it "Blofelding," since at this point everyone would probably understand the reference. "Bluefelding""? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) The thing is; very early on I started sub-standard -articles myself, and, oh boy, was it exciting to see the article you had started come up as no 1 on google-search after a few days...(even if it was a shitty article). So yeah: I fully understand/agree with, say, Emperor that this sucks people into the project. Oh well. It is strange, on one hand, Blofeld say he likes articles such as Palestinian costumes ...but seem not realize that I started that article, and basically Tiamut and I wrote it. And Blofeld came to the 48-villages in the first place because he so much liked a DYK I had just helped made (Al-Majdal. ) And then he proceeds to run over me, and ultimately run me off the project. When he started making these stubs, I ran to his talk-page, screaming to him to stop, but he just removed it without a comment. And when I said I would take them to adf, he removed that with the comment "what a baby". And went straight on, creating "Bluefeldings." Why listen to editors who has worked in the area for years? Dr. Blofeld knows best. He´s got an IQ of 149, remember? Why listen to others? I wonder what he would have felt, if anyone bulldozed him, like he bulldozed me? It´s not that I´m a fragile little flower, (heck, you don´t survive in the I/P area on WP for years being that..)...but this, coming from a guy, who is saying he wants to help? And now he is telling me, that I "approached him in totally the wrong way"?? To Blofeld (yeah, I know you read the Review): Just how do you think you approached me?? I have lost all sense of joy, of fun, I had in connection with working with these articles. So thank you jayvdb, and xeno, (and others who have emailed me), I really do appreciate your offers of help. Honestly, I do. (And no thanks whatsoever to AdjustShift (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) ) And I stand by my old comments: the stubs as most of them stand now, are perfectly, totally useless. They do NOT add any content whatsoever; it is only a copy of what is already on the net. Now, if Blofeld actually gets hold of the literature, say, at a minimum the books he is adding to the bibliography-sections, and then start adding material which is not already on the net; well: then he might, ..just might do some good. But I´m not holding my breath. He has already told me: You have 250 articles to edit. I have 1 million articles in waiting to attend to and cleanup.. I'm always disappointed when I find out the Wikipedia user name of a WR poster, and it turns out to be somebody I've never heard of. Personally, I'd always hoped that the Adversary was Newyorkbrad. Sarc, didn´t you know that Poetlister already did a CU and could confirm that The Adversary does not seem to be Alison or NYB? Sarc, how could you distrust Poetlister (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ohnoes.gif) , how, how, ..could you? ....
