if you ever happen to catch him at any of the various post-troper diaspora sites, Morven knows a lot about that particular subject since he once had the unenviable position of Wikimoderator there.
something about the idea of people deliberately going about expunging things from wikipedia gives me more weird orwellian vibes than all the NSA shit for some reason

It's not like, agencies, it's just groups of people who believe strongly in some ideology or another.
You have to understand that of people who use Wikipedia regularly, only a small percentage actually edit it, and of that percentage, only a smaller percentage edit it regularly. The people who edit it regularly are those with the motivation to do so--ie. people who feel very strongly about some particular thing or are obsessed very strongly with one particular subject.
There's a large antifeminist crowd for example, and that's just one of hundreds.

Is it wrong that I remember Morven mostly for being transgender? He helped me during that whole "this feels bad and wrong" phase of my coming out...
The best thing I've heard about is article squatters, which are people who systematically undo any changes made to an article for absurdly long periods of time to the point where Wikipedia at large just stops trying, and banning such people is impossible because Wikipedia modeled their administration after that of the Byzantine Empire.
Good example: the article on Wu Tang Clan affiliates.

I have some vague memories of some kind of trans-related thread in the spring or summer of 2010, in which I expressed some of my doubts about gender and Miijhal sort of...well, it sounds weird to say she validated my feelings, but she kinda did. It was the first time I talked to someone who understood and could relate, someone who could tell me that the feelings I had didn't mean I was broken or crazy.
It ended up being a weirdly formative experience for me, even if I went into denial about my transgenderedness a few months later.

Meanwhile I ate some leftover mozzarella sticks, which was stupid of me because they're not very good cold

Oh well, now I'm sipping some tea from a big ol' coffee mug.
In the southeastern portion of Michigan, a longstanding dispensation allows Catholics to consume muskrat on Ash Wednesday and on Lenten Fridays (when the eating of meat, except for fish, is prohibited); this tradition dates back to at least the early 19th century.

that's my friends list tho.
He did try to help me out when I was going through a period of thinking my crossplaying made me transgender though.
i feel bad about this, but i never asked and the subject just never came up
i could put it at the top of the page, but the intro to the article is so sparse that it seems like it'd be giving it undue weight
and it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else
what the article really needs is a 'personal life' section, but i don't know enough about him to write one
Good example: the article on Wu Tang Clan affiliates.
i never watched Jeopardy!
game shows never appealed to me all that much
so it's kind of a win/win
some are awful though.
This, this is my life.
I actually totally have enough that I could share, but the internet does not work that way yet.
One day, maybe!
but like, that is imo.
As for whether or not it's worth the time, idk.
Chicken Selects were good when they still existed, McBites were even better, and Mighty Wings are OK
but McNuggets are awful.
you know who has surprisingly good mozzarella sticks?
Arby's.
