Jimbo should make a
Real Housewives (T-H-L-K-D) spin-off called "The Real Editors of English Wikipedia." He'd make a killing in profit.
I seriously doubt that. Reality shows are only successful if they involve beautiful people, especially
beautiful people abusing themselves and each other.
Name one "beautiful" Wikipedia admin. (Other than Carbuncle, I spose.)

I would probably object to any conspiracy theory section if the "reliable sources" come only from the nuts themselves and lacks any criticism from experts, government officials, media investigations, etc. Acknowledging that there are conspiracies does not take away from the facts.
Yes, but the point is, people use Wikipedia articles as blogs, to post their paranoid ravings.
If the subject is popular or reasonably famous, ravings appear and disappear "because the Wiki Way works!"
However....if the article is obscure or ignored, the ravings can sit for years unchallenged. So the "Wiki Way"
fails. Frequently.
Death of Marilyn Monroe is the textbook example
, but such garbage is posted and removed
(and reposted, and re-removed, and re-re-posted) all over the wiki-place.
