The question that remains is this — What about the System In Place permits SlimVirJgin and her gang, indeed, empowers them, to get away with mind-murder for as long as they have?
WP:AGF, surely? That and the threat of being RfC'd or CheckUsered for disagreeing with them in any way whatsoever.
I suppose there are other aspects... but regardless, this is a
team, and even if another team shows up to challenge them, the team with the most admins always wins. Simple as that.
Putting all that aside, I still think this may be Slimmy's most ambitious WP:OWN effort yet. Articles like "Israeli apartheid," "New antisemitism," or even "Animal Liberation Front," aren't likely to be searched for by their exact titles, but "The Holocaust" obviously
is. That one article is going to be read by far more school-age kids looking for easily-copied text for papers, etc., than almost anything else Slimmy has done - only "Martin Luther" comes close, and her primary damage there was to join Jayjg, User:Mantanmoreland, and various others in a campaign to blame Luther for the rise of the Nazis. (That's now improved to a paragraph starting with "there is little doubt among historians," with most of the serious nastiness moved
here - though that may not be saying much. But on the positive side, at least there's no mention of Luther (the religious figure) in the main Holocaust article anymore... she moved that into
another subpage, which, I'm forced to admit, is an improvement.)
