Don't know, but its source page has put me right off the human race.

That is "Lila", minor starlet of a recent WMF video hucksterism campaign.

They're going to have to prove to me that this one has ever edited a Wikimedia project.

Allegedly this character. I do hope you're not suggesting that someone would steal young women's photos and make unconvincing attempts to pass themselves off as a 20-something woman on Wikipedia. That would never happen.

Not many edits outside of the userpage, but you know, these kinds of people are less likely to become involved in idealist nerd projects.

Masturbation is probably a sin, but you'd have to ask Ottava. rolleyes.gif

It's probably just a language issue. Their second attempt seems very inoffensive.

Gee, who's that "cd2" buxom blonde who is the number 2 photo on the page? Carolyn somebody or other D., right? Used to be connected to WP in some official way? Seems to have gone down some memory hole... wink.gif

Yes, Wikipedians don't look much like Olympic athletes, models and actors, do they?

I wish I could say they all have hearts of gold to compensate. yecch.gif

WikiChapter Tel Aviv - one of the first. They wasted no time setting that one up, those wacky Americans. I wonder if its website has sorted its token Palestinian page out - it was written in Hebrew last time I looked. (seriously).

Wiki News Featured Article? - fuck me. I had no idea it did things like this.

Please enjoy this featured article: "US Nazi leader talks about Barack Obama, the economy and more". Who would allow these people the exposure if Wikinews didn't do it? Donate now! Fred Bauder approves!
