Reminds me of the Wikipedia boob guy

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 months ago

Digging into Neelix’s history, however, his fellow administrators couldn’t believe what they found. He hadn’t just created a handful of redirects, as the original report described; he’d quietly created thousands upon thousands of new redirects, each one a chaotic, if not offensive, permutation of the word “tits” and “boobs.” For example, he created redirects for “tittypumper,” “tittypumpers,” “tit pump,” “pump titties,” “pumping boobies” and hundreds more for “breast pump.” In fact, for seemingly every Wikipedia article related to breasts, he did something similar. …

But the deeper the administrators looked into Neelix’s history, the more inexplicable redirects they found. “If [Neelix] thinks links like ‘titty constructor,’ ‘boobie builder’ and a dozen variations [should redirect to] ‘breast reconstruction’ and ‘tiny titties’ with many variations [redirect to] ‘micromastia,’” scolded administrator Jbhunley, “I strongly suggest they do not have the maturity and judgement we expect in [our] administrators.”

… “Who the fuck is going to search ‘suckling of the titties’ instead of ‘breastfeeding’?”

“I especially don’t see the value of creating pages with titles like ‘titty banged,’ ‘frenchfucking,’ ‘licks boobs,’ ‘boobyfeeding,’ ‘a trip down mammary lane’ and so on. Wikipedia is not censored, but we’re also not Urban Dictionary,” added Ivanvector. …

Finally, after six days of exhausting deliberations, Neelix reappeared on November 11th, and volunteered to step down as an administrator and retire from Wikipedia completely.

The Trial of 80,000 Titties was over. Still, it would take administrators nearly three years to undo the damage Neelix had wrought. Recalling “such timeless classics as ‘booby surgeons,’ ‘titty waist hip measurement,’ ‘milks boobies’ and ‘titty physics,’” one Wikipedian concluded, “thank God he apparently never heard the term ‘jugs’ or ‘rack’ or other similar slang or this would have been many times worse.”

Fantastic

Lol this article was so worth the click . Possibly one of the most graphic and enjoyable one i have ever read . Also on a serious note WHAT THE FUCK ?

On a serious note, no harm done. While 80 000 is quite a lot, who's hurt? The user who is looking with incorrect term? No, he found what he's looking for. The joker? No, she got the laughs. The organisation? No, it's not paid work.

Everyone wins. Weird, but not at all harmful.

Slightly confused by your last point, about the org itself, could you expand?

The Organisation? No, it’s not paid work.

This seems to imply to me that the organisation could never be “hurt” because it’s volunteer run, which I doubt is what you were saying.

[–] Kolli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

I certainly can. I was referring to waste of time and question of efficiency.

Nothing they had written was incorrect, on a site the size of Wikipedia, adding more true but functionally useless pages is only ever a (very minor) benefit. If there were only 1000 pages, sure, it'd be clutter. But it is already the case that to find anything you have to search for it, meaning it is a net positive to create those pages.

No i am just suprised about the motivation.

[–] scarilog@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

"a trip down mammary lane" was the last straw for me

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

I love it when people write so passionately about such ridiculous stories.

This is why Kes broke up with him.
