"The problem with Wikipedia" (2007)

Hello, nice to meet you. You can call me Jen. I'm an unemployed humanities major. I make articles on topics of low importance in my areas of interest (history, nature, books, women).

It's our folk encyclopedia we can do what we want.

PURELY SUBTRACTIVE EDITORS ARE THE BANE OF THIS COMMUNITY. But on the other hand: "You don't have a slug problem, you have a duck deficiency." —Bill Mollison et al.

"Listen here's the thing—I don't know what you kids are up to, but I do know one thing: laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation." —Brendan Lee Mulligan

boring + ugly + gutless ≠ good

"Somehow a piece of software started to like meld, like fuse, into a steak with a brain. You're meat, that grew up inside your mother. You're like a wetware android, and now you're grasping all this amazing information as you map and model the world." —talking to a baby in a mock bow tie [it is an honor to be one of the quarter-million wetware androids who putter around here, mapping and modeling the world]

What idiot suggested singing "Kumbaya" while we make this encyclopedia? It has a terrible cadence! We should be singing traditional work songs and marching songs but we should absolutely be singing something...because that's what humans do.

"taste is the only moat for ai" —attributed to Paul Graham by Brian Park on TikTok (lol lmao)

Variant: "A computer can never be horny or spiteful, therefore, a computer can never make art."

Policy-related disclosures

• Username: Username is not a religious reference, but a fragment of a surname.

• COI/paid-editing declarations: Back in the day I worked at E! Online/Style and added a reference to an eonline story about the death of Michael Jackson, and created a handful of stubs like Isaac. After I retired (LOL) to having kids, as a favor to a friend, I added a bunch of citations to articles at some website she worked at but I honestly can't recall the website name and I don't care to look it up and revisit my shame, and I believe all of those were all reverted in short order. (sorry to whichever editor had to deal with that nonsense.) In 2018 I created the article mg (magazine) as a favor for a friend who had an online publicity gig and I told her I didn't want to be paid but she nonetheless sent me a $20 Starbucks gift card in thanks which I definitely used to buy coffee. I regret it all. I also did plenty of the usual "edit your alma mater" stuff at the beginning, and have contributed photos of places that I frequent in my home region, etc. If there is anything I have neglected to mention it's just because I have a Swiss-cheese brain but I will add it here when I rediscover it or am otherwise reminded of it. I think I've been clean since 2018 and I plan to remain so.
• Meatpuppets/IP addresses/related usernames: My dad wants to contribute to wikipedia sometimes but has found the climate unwelcoming so sometimes he sends me text w cites or images and tells me where to add them and I do; such edits are summarized as such in edit summary. My FIL has written a lot of books that are cited on Wikipedia (which I know bc he told me), but I haven't ever messed with any of those pages or cites, to my knowledge. Another relative was killed in an act of terrorism but I have not engaged with the article other than reading it (or possibly typo fixes but I don't know how to check for sure). One of my kids has started making minor edits so I think we share an IP address when I'm not logged in. My husband is now on here very occasionally. Not sure if I want to link dad and husband accounts from here but just FYI.
• As a rule I don't grade articles I've written or heavily revised, except I gave a bunch of TV show content a start or C, and I think I raised the grade for Alexander Keith McClung but overall it seems unsporting and I try to avoid it.
