I'm not sure what happened/is happening in tonight's session. lol

Edit: Seriously. We just went halfway around the planet to spend 5 minutes talking to people? WTF. W.T.F.

Edit 2: And people that do 'intel' and 'black ops' kind of work mouth off about what they know to other people? Dude. She shouldn't have said jack about that "take-down." It probably should have been longer than "2 weeks" for us to go to Meghal again too.

So, the Wikipedia vs. Webcomics scandal expands. It started so innocently with a simple post in Blógünder Schlock highlighting the investigative work of one Brian McNeil from Wikinews. I've mentioned that in a previous post. The news report went live at Wikinews. Howard Tayler has his own comments about it. I've highlighted some of the crazy stuff about the article, like the deletion request by Wikinews user Adambro in an attempt to squelch wikidissent and silence wikivoices that don't agree with his narrow-minded and limited view of the world - a world where webcomics don't exist and he is God Emperor of Wikinews. Maybe not. But the other ideas I have aren't fit to print. The collaboration page for the article, as well as comments page are full of self-righteous wikians telling normal people that, well, nothing you like is notable. Unless you like railway stations. There's about 500 Amtrak stations, each with their own, deletion-proof articles. Because the Amtrak station in West Glacier, Montana with about 5000 to 6000 boardings per year is more notable than a webcomic with that many readers.

Fortunately, Slashdot, that paragon of the internet is on the case. Hat tip to the Schlocktroops lj community for that one.
