This should be interesting.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia Review (3rd nomination) (T-H-L-K-D)

Nominated by User:Rabbit:Farmer:Gun:Run... (T-H-L-K-D), a user who created one article on "rabbit pie" June of last year, then a few edits today before nominating this article for deletion.

Any guesses on this sockpuppet's identity?

Oh I wouldn't party about that too much because for every article that is deleted on Wikipedia is one to go over to a Wikia, it all works perfectly to line Jimmy's pockets instead of "the free society"... That is the thinking behind the ideas of notability and deletionism in a website with nearly unlimited storage space - to get as much possible on Wikia where ads can be ran on it...

Or http://wikialpha.org aka All Things Transformers.

Oh my god. There was a funny little comic I saw once that said something about the power of the internet and what humans ende up using it for... but I can't find it, I had it but something eated it so you can has this instead: youtu.be/2HrQbjPjbBA

I like the concept of that site though, it looks like something that needs to exist in the same way WR does, just looks like it's been set up people that don't really understand the concept of a public image (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif) I like the concept though even if it looks like they are determined to undermine themselves, because yeah the only preventation against tyranny is open discussion - transparency:

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth’s final century,

free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality,

but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

This administration stands on the side not of those who seek to withhold information but with those who seek it to be known.

The mere fact that you have the legal power to keep something secret does not mean you should always use it.

Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.

Funny thing is even though that video is from 1999 and seems spooky, it doesn't actually predict anything because it just talks about something that will always be true. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.

Unfortunately, the rule of law now includes the NDAA, which says you may be detained indefinitely at the whim of the administration, no lawyer, no habeus corpus, nada.
