It is funny looking back to the earliest articles and how little rules and regulations there were for making them. Including just how loose the reliable source rules were, since there was little oversight on using, say, someone's blog as a source of information.

Though since this is specifically about being an admin and not just an editor on Wikipedia, is this necessarily an issue? A lot of admin activity has become automated since those early days, so you don't need as many people to deal with vandalism or other forms of backlogs.

I am very happy and ready to get another formulation once available. I'm up to date currently.

And I would like a new vaccine sooner rather than later. People at work are already starting to contract the new variant. I'm trying to limit my own exposure, but it's difficult.

As I thought, someone already did and the page has been fixed and temporarily protected to prevent another IP address doing this again. A lot more editor eyes will be on the article too from now on.

And is super easy to revert to the prior version too. It's basically two clicks to make it happen. And then have an admin protect the page to only allow established editors so randos can't do this with just an IP address again.

I'll have to go post this to the Wikipedia admin noticeboards to be dealt with, though it's likely someone else has already beat me to the punch if this is hitting the news itself.

Newell said she threw Meyer and the Record reporter out of the event for Republican U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner event at the request of others who are upset with the “toxic” newspaper. On the town’s main street, one storefront included a handmade “Support Marion PD” sign.”

It's because of this I have the feeling that the court magistrate (and the sheriff for that matter) are likely to be re-elected regardless. This is MAGA country and they don't care about the things their side does so long as their side wins.

I somehow doubt even then.

The question to be asked though is is there anything Trump can realistically do to make him lose support among Republicans? Because it doesn't seem to be happening.

Which is what she specifically asked about and was told to do by the voting officials.

They know that there's nothing meaningful to find from such an investigation, they were just demanding it because of the implication and because they can keep pushing conspiracy claims.

But an actual investigation to reveal the nothing is terrible for Republicans, because it cuts short the made up things they've been claiming.

Hence, their only option now is to try and discredit the very thing (and person) that they've been calling for.

We might be in for a real storm of the century here and not just that one movie one.

Maybe we'll get a hurricane reaching the midwest this time.
