We have a bunch of small Wiki-related happenings at once so let's make a general thread to discuss Wikibullshit. Here is some of what's been going on:
* Rationalpedia vandalbins Ryulong. Previous thread: >>308455
* Google Knowledge Graph to use Wikipedia as a source
* Wikipedia bans three editors for supporting NPOV on Frank Gaffney's BLP
* TVTropes bans nonfeminists

Ryulong was vandalbinned on RationalWiki. Previous thread: >>308455
Ryulong is now getting his fix by edit warring with the administrators on Digimon and Bleach wikias.
https://np.red*dit.com/r/WikiInAction/comments/3vwjwo/on_rationalwiki_ryulong_is_now_indefinitely/cxrf3rz
RationalWiki is asking us to help them fix the article.

Vordrak tried that and was preemptively blocked as a known problem user on the advice of Gooniepunk who claimed to be "very familiar" with the activities that got Vordrak blocked on Wikipedia.
http://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=RationalWiki:Chicken_coop&diff=1587798&oldid=1587677
Vordrak went to KiA and complained.
https://archive.is/8vXBZ
EDiot Michaeldsuarez published an email from Vordrak seeking information on RWers Gooniepunk and Typhoon, and Vordrak wrote an article accusing RW admin David Gerard of supporting pedophilia and threatening to out Gooniepunk, proving the RWers right about him.

Google and Wikipedia are teaming up to base a knowledge engine on the data in Wikipedia. Weirdly, a research group at Dresden Technical University scrubbed its website of the mention that Wikidata is an input for Google Knowledge Graph. SEO people are already trying to come up with ways to abuse the system.

From the offtopic general:
> If anyone hasn't been following the Frank Gaffney stuff on /r/WikiInAction, the cancer there has been worse than Gamergate. Someone rewrote the article to be a transparent hit piece and the admins are banning everyone who questions the neutrality of the change as "sockpuppets". They just banned two editors who hadn't been involved in the area in months because someone accused a new editor of being one of them. Compare the treatment of this BLP to Zoe Quinn!
Here's the story:

> The edit wars over Frank Gaffney and his Center for Security Policy has started up again in light of an poll cited by Donald Trump that the Center did on Muslims in the United States. Regardless of whether you like Gaffney or the poll, he is being bashed in the media by lazy reporters who are lifting text from the extremely biased Wikipedia pages on him and the Center.

After getting vandal binned and claiming to be Leaving and Never Coming Back, Dragondragon has returned already, since one of the RationalWiki mods (surprisingly not David Gerard) had unblocked him a few days ago, retardedly proclaiming that Ryulong "really is gone this time" as the reason.
Dragondragon was - surprise! - incapable of not staring at Gamergate crap on RationalWiki, and he found GethN7's recent scrutinizing of RW's 'List of Gamergate claims' to be "offensive" so he just had to come back and write a massive wall of text raging about it.

On what grounds? Cultural Bolshevism was a Nazi propaganda term in the 1930s, so they can use Wikipedia to call anyone using the term "Cultural Marxism" a Nazi.

Theres a neat video of some KGB dude explaining that was their plan to erode western societies during the cold war by destroying religion and the family unit. And setting women against men, gays against straights, atheists against religious popele, blacks against whites etc.
We do know that feminist and gay rights organizations (for example) sprang from the failed of communist parties in Europe and the US in the 70's.

I don't think Ryulong is ever coming back to Wikipedia to be honest. He burned too many bridges and all the fights he's gotten into on rationalwiki only seem indicate that he's headed further towards a mental breakdown. The original group of POV pushers don't really need to come back anyway because the current cabal is doing a just fine job keeping the article locked in stasis. MarkBernstein, Aquillion, Jorm, Artw, Strongjam, Dumuzid, Woodroar, and the obvious sockpuppets PeterTheFourth and ForbiddenRocky have worked tirelessly to maintain their propaganda piece and make everyone interested in a neutral, encyclopedia article fight tooth and nail to change even a single word.

Got a source for that? From what I've read about Cologne there were lots of sexual assaults but no reported rapes, and most reports of a mass rape were the media hyping it up. Doing some quick research, two sources say there was one report of rape in Cologne.

Additional info (I was distracted by yuri):
it happened New Years Eve
there were organized rape gangs
ALL of the attackers were Muslim
most of the attackers were immigrants or refugees
One of the attackers who said he was from Syria boldly stated: "German chancellor Merkel invited us here. The police won't do anything." He was right.
A large number of the rapists were caught, effectively, red-handed by police …and were LET GO by police due to "lack of evidence"
There were protests by the victims and the victims families in the following days. The MSM did not cover one of them.
143 police were sent to deal with the Muslim rape-gangs
1500 police were sent to deal with the victim's protest; where the police used water hoses, teargas, and pepper spray to disburse the protesters.
THE MSM BLAMED WHITE PEOPLE AND THE VICTIMS THEMSELVES FOR THE RAPES AND CALLED ANYONE WHO POINTED OUT THAT ALL THE RAPISTS WERE MUSLIM AS RACIST BECAUSE …FEMINISM (vid related)
Feminist support rape if you're the "right" sort of rapist.

New drama at ANI. SimpsonDG, an editor in good standing with contributions going back to 2006, reported Future Perfect to ANI for a bright-line civility violation against StuRat, another editor in good standing with over 20,000 edits. Future's friends circled the wagons.
HighInBC tried to change the subject to SimpsonDG.
NorthBySouthBaranof called for SimpsonDG to be banned as "not here".
Baseball Bugs accused SimpsonDG of wanting to "restrict the content of the discussion" by asking Future Perfect to stop saying things like "fuck off" and "go fuck yourself".
Johnuniq accused SimpsonDG of "add[ing] fuel to the fire" because StuRat had asked admins to remove protection from his own talk page, and called for sanctions on StuRat for being most active in answering questions at the reference desk instead of adding to article space.
Freeatlastchitchat accused SimpsonDG of trollish behavior and said he deserved the incivility directed at StuRat.

ArbCom never presented TDA with any evidence against him.
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/01/14/banned-wikipedia-admin-exclusive/
TDA guesses that he may have been banned for reporting an undisclosed conflict of interest by an admin.
> on December 21st I sent a report to the Committee about an admin who has over the last ten years been fluffing up the bios of friends and colleagues as well as making negative and even defamatory edits to articles on opponents, all without disclosing a conflict of interest on these topics as required by policy. On more than one occasion this admin has abused administrative privileges on matters where the admin had an undisclosed conflict of interest. I had attempted on my own to prevent the admin from violating the site’s conflict of interest policies by saying via e-mail I would report this conduct to the Committee, and the admin only stopped editing those areas until I was subjected to a three-month block in October. Upon the resumption of this misconduct I requested by e-mail that the admin undo these new violations or disclose a conflict of interest to no avail.

Strelnikov presents stats on Wikipedia's user base:
http://wikipedia-sucks-badly.blogspot.com/2016/01/some-fun-charts-and-graphs-zzuzz.html
This paragraph stands out:
> Active editors, 2003-2015. Notice that most of the editors are very casual, under twenty edits in total, and that group peaked in 2007. I would guess that a lot of these people are now paid editors. The hardest of hard-core editors are a tiny cadre of maybe 1000 people, probably doing most of their edits by 'bots now. This is not a picture of a stable setup; it reminds me of the Ingsoc Party in Nineteen Eighty-Four. The minority of editors are in the Thought Police or the true leadership cadre, the 25+ people are the rest of the Inner Party, and the casuals are the Winston Smiths of the Outer Party.
We've seen that having less than several thousand edits is by itself grounds for an indefinite block. Someone with 100-200 edits is "clearly WP:NOTHERE." Their number of edits is the evidence against them. Someone who just started out is fucked if they make the mistake of disagreeing with a veteran.
Back in 2006 Aaron Swartz found that "insiders account for the vast majority of the edits. But it’s the outsiders who provide nearly all of the content."

The fact of the matter is that WP:ARBPOL, as written, requires ArbCom to inform the accused what they have been accused of, where, and given opportunity to defend themselves before a decision is reached. Who was accused, who the accuser was, and the reason why ArbCom violated the polices that hold authority over them is entirely irrelevant. They violated WP:ARBPOL as written and therefore invalidated any and all actions taken as a result of the misconducted hearing. ArbCom must redact these actions until they perform a hearing that does not violate the policy as it is written.

To remind everybody, Wikipedia's written policy is that anyone can edit, and "anyone" includes Nazis. If they can behave themselves and produce reliable sources, they are supposed to be treated like any other editor regardless of their personal politics. Chasing after Nazis and running them off the site is a violation of multiple Wikipedia policies including witchhunting, WP:ROPE, and the inevitable personal attacks when the admins accuse more and more people of being Nazis just for disagreeing with how the admins are acting (like Nazis, ironically). As for the sockpuppetry claims, if Wikipedia banned everybody who edited a page because the subject was on Reddit or going around social media or in the news, there would be no editors left.
The important bit: Robert McClenon admits that the admins are under political pressure from the WMF board
> Can we find [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that are more positive about white pride? I think that trying to tone down the positiveness of the other two would not only be disruptive but would be likely to annoy the WMF Board.

No way you could be the problem? Nah, it has to be that guy who made something that could be interpreted in such a way it would be a problem. Coming up next:
stripstr is short for "strip sluty trannies".
The wstring type is short for "women's string" which is fetishism and objectification of women.
fgetpos is for "female get position", a reference to "back to the kitchen, women"
atof is short for "ass to face", an innuendo to the sex act and degradation of women.
isalpha is rape culture. No doubt. Rape. Culture.

Another editor got blocked for not being a Communist. Prestopotatoe had argued for the removal of text claiming that Britain is "multicultural", "diverse", and "multi-racial" on the grounds that it is a confederation of multiple nationalities.
> You guys are aware of the fact that 90% British folk can trace their ancestry back for hundreds and thousands of years? How on Earth does that make it a multi-racial, multicultural or diverse society? Despite the fact that a couple of areas in London resemble slums in Nairobi, the vast majority of Britain is uniformly white and uniformly of a single English scots irish or welsh culture. I invite you to go down to Kent or Margate and see how diverse British culture is.–[[User:Prestopotatoe|Prestopotatoe]] ([[User talk:Prestopotatoe|talk]]) 00:11, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
Snowded called Prestopotatoe a racist and deleted his comment. GeneralizationsAreBad reported Presto to ANI, GoodDay called Presto "NOTHERE", and Jimfbleak gave Prestopotatoe a one-week block and threatened an indef. No action was taken against Snowded.

> We are asked here to endorse an extreme political ideology in which an individual’s specious and self-serving redefinition of feminism – a redefinition that have been broadly rejected – is required to be taken at face value. Up is down, patriarchy is feminist, and we have always been at war with eastasia. As soon as Binksternet compiles the requested list of 30 or 40 reference, that list will doubtless be reverted from the article as WP:UNDUE. We all know this, and so volunteer editors are naturally reluctant to waste their time. It is clear from the sources in the article and a cursory reading of the discussion of the subject's work – and indeed from the discussion here – that most feminists disagree with the subject’s esoteric and self-serving redefinition of feminism, and the article should reflect that. MarkBernstein (talk) 18:01, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

I feel that part of the problem here is that fans (who are mostly familiar with him through his other accomplishments) might not realize that even those high-profile accomplishments ultimately pale before some of the scandals he's been involved with. I would argue that the majority of the text in the article could be about his scandals and it still would not violate WP:NPOV based on the level (and, at this point, the duration) of coverage they're getting. Certainly suggesting that they could be omitted entirely and still produce an article that would satisfy WP:NPOV is implausible. At this point, I am comfortable saying that he is more notable for his scandals than he is for anything else. At the very least, I feel that the controversy section should be restored; people can work on incorporating it into the article in a more useful fashion, but I absolutely don't feel that your removal of it was defensible. –Aquillion (talk) 07:07, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Because he's Gamaliel's buttbuddy. That's it, really. He was banned in the past by admins with a bit more scruples (but not a lot) and his knight in shining armor bailed him out. Now he has free reign to do whatever he wants because of Wikipedia's lack of admin oversight: when one admin makes a decision most admins are too afraid to question its judgment out of fear of a boomerang desysoping.
