I'm the creator of the blog previously know as thinkingcat / is the cat video cute which has for some reason turned into @flourishingskeleton I have no idea what happened to it, if it/a mod got hacked or another mod decided to change it. I have no intentions of trying to get it back. So ig that's an end of an era, just kinda pissed that all the content was deleted, oh well

You ever heard of the Doug Coldwell thing? Some 80-year-old makes a ton of "good pages" that, upon further inspection, are actually not so good. Guy gets completely dogpiled on WP:ANI, but also fails to communicate. Relevant screenshot.

Oh I hadn't! I tend to really only read pages and their edit histories. But I may definitely look into it, may even have a new category for the blog. But that depends how comfortable I am regarding these sorts of stories

I've been wondering who Nick could be, is it perhaps an ace attorney reference or a reference to something else? This has been on my mind since I found that edit

sometimes when I'm bored, I go through the list of recent bad faith Wikipedia edits that have since been reverted. a lot of them are politically contentious/offensive topics that attract crazies and trolls in general, but sometimes there are completely innocent inoffensive articles that people attack for no reason. some guy yesterday vandalized the article on the chemical element francium

unironically everyone should become a wikipedia guy especially if you have a really bad social media addiction. it really helps you rebuild your attention span in a way that's really interesting and engaging I feel

CW antisemitism and holocaust denial

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/25785648.2023.2168939

PSA: so basically english language wikipedia (specifically articles about holocaust in poland) has been methodically reshaped into a worthless ahistorical propaganda garbage dump by a group of extremely dedicated polish nationalists working together for years, steering wikipedia away from credible academia researchers citations into made-up academics and vicious antisemites. all to make up poles into the most valiant spotless helpers and victims and downplay the plight of the jewish people in ww2. all of it while avoiding consequences from wikipedia admins, not versed enough in eastern europe history complexities to catch them red handed.

i knew polish wikipedia was a lost project full of not-even-pretending-to-be-neutral-point-of-view history propaganda but to see that the same people pulled the same trick on the biggest wiki (and in my experience usually fairly well scrutinized) of them all is heartbreaking. also obviously if you want to learn literally anything about the holocaust english wikipedia is not your friend and will probably not be for a long time because the damage is THAT wide and far spread.
