Personal appeals from prolific Wikipedians, New Jersey High Schools Options

[Peter Damian]

I suppose we have all noticed the new fundraiser today. Random pictures of people claiming to have generated lots of valuable yet free content. For example Alan Sohn – user:Alansohn – who says “On Wikipedia, I’ve created 2,463 articles. All of them for free. “

Great stuff, Alan, your most significant contribution seems to be ‘List of people from Teaneck, New Jersey’, 68 edits, but I couldn’t be bothered to check any further back than this year. Nearly all of your 2,463 articles are about High Schools in New Jersey. This does not persuade me to part any of my hard-earned cash to WMF, particularly not if I have to divert it from my current financial support of institutions like the Warburg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_Institute . Interesting that the Warburg article is far smaller than any of the voluminous articles about New Jersey schools.

And here's another one . I think whoever chose the "I've created X articles" approach has made a fundamental mistake; just makes the editors look smug.

I notice as well that they're all being called authors, not editors. Significant?

Were you not asked, Malleus? You seem to have written more than that useless lot.

I was eventually asked after I took the piss about not being asked, but of course I refused, as the WMF and I see eye-to-eye about very little. Here's a link.

That's a great thread.

Yeah, but I still think Malleus is a supermasochist.

And the more I think of it, The Young Ones seems to be the perfect Wikipedia sitcom.
It's crude, filthy, disgusting, hostile, trollish, insane, and ultimately worthless.
This could be an Arbcom get-together.

I really feel bad for the people who volunteer to make these "personal appeals". I'm sure they're nice people who really are trying to make the world better, but they don't know that their efforts are being used by Jimbo & Co. to promote their leeching careers.

You can watch most of the good scenes at youtube. You'll miss out on the "plot", unless you know the sequence to go through but hey, can't have everything.
