_ The Wikipedia Annex _ Dan Savage "glitter bombed"

Posted by: carbuncle

Remember the kerfuffle over the now-deleted Marcus Bachmann wikibomb article? Bachmann has been largely excised from WP, but Glitter bomb (and several redirects) was created at the same time to ensure that he was not forgotten.

Someone http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/02/dan-savage-glitterbombed-oregon-transphobia-_n_1071627.html Dan Savage yesterday. I wonder if Cirt will add that to Savage's BLP?

For someone who writes about such an issue where facts get distorted all the time, I can't believe someone like him would fuck up and call a cismale ftm.

Don't be silly. His BLP is on so many watchlists, he could sell tickets.

What usually happens to his bio is stupid shit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dan_Savage&diff=454153741&oldid=453931755 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dan_Savage&diff=451636723&oldid=451636183.
Over and over and over again, several times a day.

Following up my own post, I knew it was only a matter of time:

Going by http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Glitter_bombing&hideredirs=, currently none of the glitter targets' bios make mention of the event, thankfully.
