Wikipedians Unite!
It appears that some asshole has decided to take the MW link off of Michelle’s Wikipedia article. This was a point of contention long before I took over, so this is nothing new.
I am an active user of Wikipedia, but I tend to only edit typos; I’m not much of a contributor. I wouldn’t feel comfortable adding or subtracting from this particular article in any capacity, anyway. (Although sources have confirmed that Michelle or Jesse did perform significant editing of her Wiki article as an anonymous user.)
If you feel strongly about whether a link to MW deserves to be on MM’s article, and you’re an experienced editor, you know what to do.
Update: (8/13, morning) It has come to my attention that the title should be “Wikipedists Unite!” I think I’ll leave it as-is, though.
Thanks to everyone who’s contributing over there. If another debate begins in the Talk Page of the article in question, someone may want to point out that LGF Watch is in the external links (EL) list of the Little Green Footballs article.
That would be an interesting discussion of NPOV/Critics sections of the EL guidelines.
Update: (8/14, early morning) Just to be clear: I’m neither angry over this nor sending anyone off to further an agenda. I should also point out that “puerile” is one of those words that one should be able to spell in order to use it with command. (Hint: Search in the talk page.)
Done. Just don’t know how long it will stay up if the Malkins are censoring it.

I love the concept of Wikipedia, but I am no anarchist. This is why we have developed annoying academic systems. They work.
Now am I a conservative?
Fucking A.

Hehe, thanks for the link. Hadn’t even noticed we were on Wikipedia. We must have a guardian Wikipedist angel watching over the LGF entry ;-)
