Sue Gardner's world tour Options

[thekohser]

Sue Garder traveled the globe recently, "accompanied" by her male assistant.

She jetted all the way to London to meet a 12-year-old boy named Peter.

Later, in India, she coveted another woman's muffin.

That's what I got out of it, anyway.

Nice to know where the money goes …

Paying for separate rooms for herself and assistant? Adjoining or not? The world wants to know. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

Any bets that she took a laptop? BUT, did she edit Wikipedia from India, like Weiss/Mantanmoreland did? Himself being a "true" Wikipedian? Any bets? Okay, I'll spare you. Her user contributions show she didn't edit from Sept 24 last year, to Jan 1 this year. Her trip was Nov. 20 to Dec. 6. So not only didn't she edit on her worldwide trip, but she didn't edit for 2 months before leaving, and for 3 weeks after getting back.

The irony here is very thick. Mantanmoreland, now banned, was a real addict about editing Wikipedia (for that matter, so is Kohs. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)) Sue Gardner, the female CEO of the foundation responsible for it, couldn't care less about editing the thing.

What's the significance of being a female CEO? Or are we just saying that females can't edit WP?

No, Sue Gardner is the one COMPLAINING that females don't edit WP, when she doesn't edit significantly herself, even though she's CEO of the thing. You really are having a hard time understanding the irony of this, aren't you?

It may be that we realize Sue is smart enough to maintain a posture that she is above Wikipedia editors, male and female alike, and it would not be fitting of her office to be slogging away in the trenches with the gullible Wikipediots.

After all, if she really started editing frequently, how soon before it becomes clear to her and to those editing with her that Wikipedia is a messy, irresponsible battleground of opinions, not worthy of tax-exempt status? Then what would she be left to do?

At a minimum she could take some pictures of some of these places in Poland, India, and wherever else she travels to, upload them to Commons (or have her assistant do it after he finishes filling-out their travel reimbursement paperwork), and add the pictures to the appropriate articles.

Poland is looking more and more like the next WMF oursource after India. Wikia has long been there, and WMF has checked them out with a Wikimania in July, 2010. Now, Sue goes there again at the end of the year. That's a lot of attention.

It probably would be cheaper for the Foundation to be based in Poland, as long as they didn't bear the cost of moving most of its San Francisco-based employees and their families over there, then paying to send their kids to private English-language schools in Warsaw or wherever. If the WMF isn't going to follow my advice and move to Fresno to save operating costs, then perhaps they will go to Poland.

Don't kid yourself. If Susie and her slaves ever move somewhere, it will be to NYC,
so they can hobnob with the Social Register crowd.

Moving the servers and support staff to Poland, now that's a winner....cheaper Polish
workers means more money for Susie and Erik.

What's really interesting to me: all these former employees who left under a "cloud"
or for some other not-happy reason. (other than Larry Sanger, who is in this other
thread.) Godwin, Mike Snow, Brad Patrick, and probably several lower-down people that
I'm forgetting.
Not a single one of them has written a tell-all about the WMF's demented internal
operations. Why is that?
