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

Is this Wikipedia Review or the National Enquirer?

Well sheez, what do you expect, UV? The co-founder of Wikipedia pursues a sexual relationship with a controversial right-wing (though admittedly Canadian) media personality, possibly at the expense of foundation donors, despite the fact that the media personality already has a history on Wikipedia itself of receiving preferential treatment, not to mention a reputation for "stalking" ex-boyfriends and generating negative publicity about them using the internet? What are we supposed to do, say "move along folks, nothing to see here"?

Time and time again I'm reminded of that scene from The Naked Gun where Frank Drebin is saying those exact words in front of a fireworks factory that's in the process of going off after being rammed by a truck full of explosives.

You are so correct Somey.

Witnessing the hierarchy at Wikipedia is somewhat like watching a guy light his hair on fire and then watching him try to put it out with a hammer.

It is comical and yet frightening. Very little wisdom there; just fireworks and a loud sucking sound from the vacuum created by a void and "blackhole" of no morality.
