Jimbo & Rachel Marsden : Scandalous, can you say WP:COItus? Options

[Castle Rock]

In case you were wondering why Rachel Marsden got such special treatment on Wikipedia the secret is now out in the Valleywag. They also link here too!

Jimmy Wales loves to talk about "transparency" and "a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge." Unless it's about his scandal-prone girlfriend. Wales, who is divorcing his second wife Christine, has been secretly seeing conservative TV commentator Rachel Marsden since last fall, friends say.

And something for JzG: a steamy chat log is included.

These chats turned my "stub" into a full wiki page

OTRS is a joke. Window dressing, like the legendary Customer Complaint Department that never actually resolves anyone's complaints.

It may not be 100% effective, (what is?) but I don't think I'd agree with "never" as a characterization of its effectiveness level. It often does work and work well. I'm certain specific counterexamples can be brought up, but I think it's better that WMF has it than if it didn't.

Disclaimer, I have an OTRS ID and I (very occasionally) work tickets.

Yeah, well, I asked an OTRS member to blank something
that outed me, then an arbitrator publicly attacked me
for doing so, which drew even more attention to the
matter, someone else mildly blackmailed me from asking
anything else to be blanked/deleted/oversighted (though
that's stopped with apologies), and now some jack-booted
violent thug claiming to be acting on behalf of WP is
threatening to cut my fingers off!

In other words, even if the OTRS member one talks to is
the sweetest person in the world, they don't actually have
the power to do anything. And I've heard some people
haven't even gotten responses from OTRS.
