David Gerard, Not that there's anything wrong with that! Options

[tarantino]

Whenever I stop by Gerard's user page, I always get sidetracked and start daydreaming about what it would be like to live with a wife and a girlfriend.

Then I start wondering about a married man and his girlfriend both being directors of the same company. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, as long is it is all out in the open.

Is there?

[Somey]

"Wife" and "girlfriend" are such bourgeious words, though... Dave prefers the much more bohemian term, "concubines."

As for Arkady Rose being a co-director of Wikimedia UK, well... someone has to do it, and as long as she continues to live under the same roof, I figure Dave should be able to keep his unfounded sockpuppetry accusations against her down to a fairly reasonable level.

I'm not saying he will, of course...

I just wonder why it's often the ones closest to the Wikipedia Inner Sanctum who are the worst spammers on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=105848595


It doesn't get any spammier than that article, or that link.


Then, there's this:

Kinda reminds me of Baudy's Clown redirect.

What's that saying about stone throwers living in glass houses?

LoL Veesicle just sacrificed his year old account to place An editor has expressed a concern that this user may be a sock puppet of WordBomb. tag on David Gerard's user page. JzG swoops in for the kill saying I have blocked you for abject stupidity. It's kind of hard to imagine what else you would have wanted, given that edit., but Veesicle just laughs and laughs.

Excellent. I'd like to buy Veesicle a virtual pint.

And someone get just some guy a valium.

The extreme irony of the situation is that I happen to be the editor with the concern. Given that fact, what Veesicle did was 100% accurate. I hereby demand that his account be returned to him.

I was schocked to learn that Wikipedia had a rule about Abject Stupidity, but sure enough, there it is — WP:Abject Stupidity.

But, as I ½-expected, it's not so much a Rule against Abject Stupidity as a Template for promoting it.

I guess one can't take the Wikibible literally, Brother Bomb.

1) Follow the rules
2) Except when you want to IAR
3) Don't sockpuppet abusively
4) Unless you're SlimVirgin or Mantanmoreland or .....[feel free to add more untouchable hypocrites here]
5) always provide sources for your edits
6) Unless you own the joint, then it's Bonzai time, buddy!
7) Don't personally attack anyone on WP
8) Unless it's Daniel Brandt, Judson Bagley, Patrick Byrne, Mark Devlin, Professor Black, Greg Kohs, Jon Awbrey, etc etc.

I hereby give a gift to some aspiring comedy writer seeking his/her big break: take one look at this image, captured at Gerard's betrothal, and then spend 15 minutes (max) crafting the obvious sitcom pilot episode begging to be released from it:

From left to right: Hanna (Matron of Honour), Liz, David, Arkady (Best Man)

Yes, this one writes itself.

Suggested working titles:
Trauma Club (a play on the obvious fact that they resemble a high school drama club)
Like a Goth to a Flamer
Fairleather Friends
The New Immorality
Bye, Curious!
The Glossy Aussie and his Swinging Posse
I could go on but that would be unfair to the rest of you.

One serious question: how much (in €) did Gerard pay for that Ken Doll-quality hair transplant job?

[Piperdown]

careful, word, they're going to call you "odious" again.

"An editor on Gary's PC, but not Gary, suspects that Wordbomb is a beaneater who goes sans beano" might be your new wiki epitaph if you're not nice.

I'd always wondered what happened to the teenagers I used to go see Rocky Horror with, when I was young enough to be an WP Admin.

[Selina]

DG has to be the most tasteless goth i've ever seen (not his outfit but friends), ick.
his wife looks like a retarded wale and girlfriend like a wrinkled nazi librarian.

he just looks silly but is still the least scary in the pic which is saying something when you've seen the famous "mime" photo o-o

i know, offtopic, but I just had to comment..

And we know that you mean all of that in the nicest possible way …

Retarded Wale — ka-zing!

I'm sure Liz and Arkady are very nice, extremely bright people... who just happen to have questionable taste in men. More importantly, I'd imagine their use of multiple WP accounts is relatively under control at this point.

Give the lady a break, will you, she's ill and can't even leave the house. That may be the reason for the strange social arrangement. We don't know; not our business. I realize you're the site owner, but I'd personally feel better about participating here if we weren't opportunistically lashing out at innocent uninvolved people.

site owner has nothing to do with anything dont worry you can say what you want about me i dont care I will just argue right back

its not really so much opportunism its nothing to do with the fact that they are associated with david gerard, i just saw a picture of scary people so gave my honest opinion, I don't like lying about people to avoid offence

hell dgerard is probably one of the least insane admins there from what i can remember

I have to agree. The main reason I brought the arrangement up was for comment on the impropriety of 2 out of three directors of Wikimedia UK are also partners in a slightly unorthodox relationship. I see now there is only three directors because 2 very recently resigned citing work pressures.

How do I apply for the vacancy? I must be pretty well qualified.

Instructions can be found at wikimedia.org.uk/volunteer.

It's probably a coincidence that Arkady became a director and CFO in August and James Forrester and Andrew Walker resigned in October and September, respectively.

I have no doubt you'd whip them into shape.

I always assume that it's a good thing that people like this get together and form couples...I mean, that way, they are not making two other people unhappy. The fact that they are a threesome makes it even more people-friendly....
