Rachel Marsden's wiki biography Options

It would appear that Rachel Marsden is in control of her own wiki biography.

Indeed!

And she doesn't like to use "Preview" either, does she?

One of these days I'm going to have to write up a biography about myself on that thing... I just wish I could remember something I've actually done. Or for that matter, what my name is.

By the way, don't feel like you can't link to the actual article, particularly in a case like this:

http://www.wikipediareview.com/Rachel_Marsden

I take it there's not going to be a section entitled Unwise Boyfriend-Selection Issues...?

Yebbut...Jimbo can't edit this one!

Ms. Marsden has really been lighting up Valleywag recently. Apparently she thinks the person calling himself "colonelpanic" in these comments is Jimbo himself. Meanwhile, she's changed her avatar image on Valleywag to a photo of former Marine drill-sergeant-turned-actor R. Lee Ermey Gen. George S. Patton:

Perhaps most interestingly of all, she posted a comment with the most detailed explanation of her relationship with Der (co-)Flounder yet:

Actually the events are a bit out of order. Here, as someone who obviously is far more of an authority on the events of her life than an anonymous internet "fan", let me give you a hand, dear:

1) Rachel and Jimmy start fighting over his admission, well into the relationship, that he's a practitioner of polygamy and prefers multiple sex partners.

2) Rachel admits to Jimmy that she's not sure how much longer she can take being in a relationshp with a lying, sleazy, sack of shit that will happily screw anything and everything on two legs.

3) As a power-trip, Jimmy threatens Rachel with deportation if she ever breathes a word of their relationship to the point where the rest of his floozies find out he's been cheating on them with at least one other woman (in reality, he cheats on several women simultaneously, and is admittedly proud of it). Rachel tells him to go f himself.

4) Within a day, Jimmy posts breakup notice for the world to see on Wikipedia.

5) Rachel tells him she'll be responding to media inquiries about his breakup announcement in kind - by auctioning off his reeking clothes on eBay

Ouch!

Original research! Conflict of interest!

Indeed. Threatening a Canadian with deportation? That really is funny.

As for the rest, Dorothy Parker summed it up:

Woman wants monogamy;
Man delights in novelty.
Love is woman's moon and sun;
Man has other forms of fun.
Woman lives but in her lord;
Count to ten, and man is bored.
With this the gist and sum of it,
What earthly good can come of it?


And oh, what the heck-- so long as we're doing Parker on this subject:

Reuben's Children
Accursed from their birth they be
Who seek to find monogamy,
Pursuing it from bed to bed ---
I think they would be better dead.

Fable
Oh, there once was a lady, and so I've been told,
Whose lover grew weary, whose lover grew cold.
"My child," he remarked, "though our episode ends,
In the manner of men, I suggest we be friends."
And the truest of friends ever after they were ---
Oh, they lied in their teeth when they told me of her!

No, I didn't click them, and then, just to be xtra mean, I went back and didn't click them 3 times more.

Are there any plans to help her with some of those red links? Also, I clicked Canada (a blue link) and found this.

It's not what BillyBoy meant by "undiscovered country", but there are many who've yet to discover it.

I made a feeble attempt to upgrade that page a bit. Please stop linking from here to my site, though. It bothers many members of this forum.

Ah, but there are many travelers who return from Canada; not as many who make it back out of California. Pity those who spend their Januaries and Februaries in hot tubs under the palms in their back yards.

Personally, I thought the original version had more... "panache." Besides, what more really needs to be said? It's Canada, for Pete's sake.

@Durova: Oh wow, how original of you to say you Wikipidiotic cultist twat. And I'm sure in Wikipidiotville, Jimmy's considered a real catch. Go impale yourself on a Barnstar.

Hahahaha, I love this bitch.

Yeah, you can't really beat that!

I recommend checking those Valleywag comment sections on their Wikipedia related articles, because Marsden has set herself up in residence. And she's hilarious.

Those Wikipediots who moan about Wikipedia Review should note when reading all the users' comments on Valleywag, and similar forums, how vitriolic they are. If one considers them, and all the lunatic crap and nasty vandalism that goes on at Wikipedia, in comparison, Wikipedia Review is a shining light of civil, intellectual discourse and beats the lot of them hands down.

Having actually gotten involved here, WR is not nearly what it's depicted as on WP. Not even close. There's a proportionally equal amount of mudslinging, but here it's coupled with the overuse of smilies, which makes insults less insulting, right? Or just more annoying... either way, at least here there's not the use of "straw man" and "WP:CIVIL" in every other post. And more often than not, the bitching here is legitimate and backed by evidence, which is not something that can be said about the vast majority of bullshit claims made on the discussion pages of WP.

I dunno if this beats Rachel Marsden's charming Op-Ed copy, but it's definitely in the running...
