In summation: Larry says Jimmy is a self-serving liar, and presents (IMO) compelling evidence of the same. The question then is: 1) Does Wikipedia/WMF care? and 2) Should Wikipedia/WMF care? Well, perhaps not: *unless its articles reflect something other than reality. (We are committed to NPOV) *or unless Jimmy were abusing his position within WMF and the community to push his POV, or distort Wikipedia for his own benefit. (If the leader/exemplar were engaging in POV-pushing and COI meet puppetry, that should concern us!) Is he? I don't know. Are these IRC transcripts accurate? The source is questionable, but as a minor participant in one of the discussions, it does seem to tally with my (admittedly fuzzy) memories. http://www.wikitruth.info/index.php?title=Jimbo_Fired_Up http://www.wikitruth.info/index.php?title=Jimbo_Found_Out _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
