[edit] Wikipedia-related commentary
[edit] Deletion debates
The so-called "Arguments to avoid" cover every freakin' argument I can possibly think of. If I am unable to have a voice without an argument that ISN'T on that damned list, then I'm screwed. How the hell am I supposed to make a point without being throttled down by some stupid acronym? I also try to talk to those who are flinging those freakin' acronyms around, but I can't, because they'll just keep flinging them.
[edit] Ten-year-old minor controversy
This seemingly important controversy on the JC Penney article concerns a pulling of ads from Ellen. I disapprove of homophobia in all forms, but there are a few issues with this one thing:
- I added a section about racial profiling to Dillard's, which was decried as "unencyclopedic" (whatever the hell that means) and removed.
- Four other companies are mentioned in that section that did the same thing, and none of them had similar sections until I cut and pasted the same paragraph from JC Penney and added them out of sheer spite. I hope they get removed and I get reprimanded or even blocked for it.
- If all sorts of controversies are added to articles, Ford should have an entire article about how it suffered due to Henry Ford's antisemitism.
Am I alone in thinking that this is now irrelevant?
