Simple English Wikipedia, 50 times smaller, but still more stupid Options

[LaraLove]

Simple is so ridiculously bureaucratic, I can't believe they're spending village pump time on a third bureaucrat. Eptalon, one of the few sane heads, wants five users to go up for RFB to decide who is the best?! I really can't believe they're moaning about timely closures of RFAs.

Adminship is the whole point of editing there. If you're not promoted the minute it is scheduled to end, time is a wastin'.

[Jaranda]

Simple has so many issues, I agree with this post 100%. But simple was always like that, even when people like Neolithic! was there years back. I also don't get how the few sane heads there, Majorly Djsasso, and Juliancotton, to name a couple participates in that project. I'll support a shut down of that project, simple english isn't even a language anyways.

Anybody checked in over there lately?

Lots of admins have quit, one has been desysoped after a recall RFA (which he claims was a mistake to call after misunderstanding irony on IRC), Majorly has been granted checkuser (after a one day vote) and there is a discussion about whether to create a Simple Arbcom.

just

Edit: By my count, they have 11 active admin, one active bureaucrat and one active checkuser.

I say yes. But the Simple Arbcom has to use Basic English.

"Umm. You look like sock. You smell like sock. We say you sock. Now, YOU say if you sock, or not sock."

[GlassBeadGame]

...and there is a discussion about whether to create a Simple Arbcom.

Already got one of those.

[The Wales Hunter]

Using Basic English on Simple English? Whatever next!

The current chaos over there, from what I can gleam from skimming the drama pages, makes interesting reading for those of us who weren't around when EN went through the same growth pains.

Difference is that there were more on EN and probably enough to calm down the really vociferous voices. Anything could happen on Simple.

As I mentioned above, it would only take a small group of real-life/online/IRC/IM friends to put their minds to it and they would control Simple by the summer.

Not that there would be any point!

Sorry, but I do not crave power and I am not a "child". I will have you know that I am over 18 years old.

There's 2 checkusers now on simple wikipedia. Majorly. was a elected a couple of days ago. His nominator was Razorflame and NonvocalScream closed the election.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

It's not really a laughing matter when an irresponsible child like Majorly has access to the checkuser list for every project.

Oh Holy Jesus. Majorly, Razorflame, NonvocalScream ........ somewhere, three villages are missing their idiots.
Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the Wiki's.

Of course. Ten failed attempts at power is not, repeat not, a craving. Twelve, maybe. Fifteen, tops. Those guys and their accusations, eh?

Harrumph! Harrumph!!! Dog years? Let's face it, mate. Simple Wikipedia is not for you. Too complicated, and you're about as welcome there as the proverbial fart in a spacesuit. Give it up, eh?!

[Giggy]

I love reading Simple Talk for the inadvertent humour produced by many of the comments there. My favourite today;

Have users even been working on the whole point of Wikipedia, our articles? We have very few quality and content articles, and we have thousands of stubs. We need more users working on these stubs! I would do so myself, but I'm too busy, both, in real life and around the foundation projects.

"Bottled Spider" - how about you go back in your bottle and put the lid on so no one can hear you, because no one gives a fuck what you think? What do you know about the project anyway? Very little by the sound of it.

Please crawl back under the rock from where you came from, thx.

This whole thread is hilarious. Why all the whining about a project you obviously all hate? Have you not got better ways to spend your lives, other than bitching about people and their hobbies? Oh... didn't think so.

Razor, I recommend you don't try arguing with the children here. Children always want their own way, whether they're right or wrong. Just carry on on Simple and ignore the trolls here. Some people here have legitimate criticisism, others don't. You've found the ones that don't.

As mentioned above, studying the current situation at Simple is fascinating for those of us who weren't around during the same stage of development over at EN.

It's like comparing the current Muslim extremism with the Christian Crusades - two religions going through a rite of passage.

Hell, I'm just glad to see all this awful "criticism" of your good little self (and your fellow simpletons) hasn't made you in any way bitter and twisted, or sound whiney. And I'm absolutely delighted that you think "no one gives a fuck" what I think. Though you seem to. Heh!

I'm not really taking anything that is said here very seriously because I know exactly what you are trying to say. Nothing written here is taken by me at face value because I know that they aren't very valid opinions, so don't worry about a thing .
