Essjay controversy has been nominated for Featured Article, articles which are supposed to represent the best of Wikipedia. Featured Articles may appear on Wikipedia's Main Page. Is this navel gazing? Or is it important for Wikipedia to air its own dirty laundry on its front page?

WJBscribe voted "no" because he was one of Jordan's advocates. WJBscribe was pro-fraud. It speaks volumes of Wikipedia, not to mention WJBscribe, that he is still there, ruling on articles.

WJBscribe helped to ban Malber. He is a good guy.




Wikipedia wouldn't want something critical of them being featured.

WJScribe is pro-fraud. I never looked at the whole Malber story but I remember reading somewhere or another he banned Malber merely because Malber spoiled Harry Potter for him and I guess WJScribe was mad.

Yet one more confirmation that Wikipedia is a nest of vindictive teenagers. So this is what it's come to: the most popular source of information on the Internet is a collection of junk arranged and rearranged by 16-year-olds who feud over Harry Potter. That's even more depressing than Big Brother, isn't it?

Not so depressing...

In the interests of full disclosure, all I know is that this person was a Big Brother contestent and was fired for being racists. But had I been watching her I wouldn't have been depressed!

I saw somewhere that people would get back at administrators by giving them harry potter spoilers.

If that picture is gone it's a hot nude chick saying she had an erotic dream about harry potter.
Well, the actor has posed nude. There's also lots of erotic fanfiction about harry potter.

He posed nude because he was in a Westend production of "Equus" and the role he played has to be nude (it's part of the story--and it's more disturbing than sexual). Since everybody was going to see him nude for most of an evening onstage every night for weeks on end, I guess that the producers decided that photos were in order.
