Discussion Thread for “This Is Your Education On Wikipedia”

I'm going to try separating the discussion from the main topic — just an experiment to see if it helps me keep my brains from getting too scrambled. Feel free to post on whichever thread you find most convenient — I can always sort stuff out afterward.

When I first fell down the Wikipedia Rabid Hole, the Big Three Policies — WP:VER, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR — at least as written, and even as most educated adults interpreted them in practice, were still recognizable as not-too-idiosyncratic renditions of familiar norms of research, the ABCs of Accuracy, Balance, Confirmation.

Well, that was then — early 2006 or thereabouts — and some of you know what happened to make Wikipede Appallacy the unholy mess of hypocrisy that it is today.

The lyin's share of the warp was of course forced by SlimVirgin and her Cabal Of SlimVestal Interests.

But that whole sad tale makes me wik 'n' whirry, so maybe after Dinner and “Bones” …
