Censorship on Wikipedia[edit]

July 8, 1947, issue of the Roswell Daily Record, featured a story announcing the Roswell Army Air Field "capture" of a "flying saucer" from a ranch near Roswell. See Roswell Incident. The article came about from Walter Haut's initial press release.

See User:Timeshifter/Userboxes for many userboxes. See also this old essay: User:Timeshifter/Unchecked admin misconduct. Admins with biases, combined with a few biased editors can block verified notable info. Happens all the time. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias. See: Systemic bias. And: Criticism of Wikipedia. Some of the following info may no longer be censored by the time you read this. Some censorship comes and goes depending on the whims of groups of editors. Examples of censorship: • Seven JFK Parkland Hospital ER doctors who testified on video that the neck wound was an entrance wound; meaning that more than one shooter was required. • Walter Haut 2002 Roswell affidavit where he says there were 2 crash sites, and that he had seen a craft, alien bodies, and handled wreckage material. The 20 paragraph notarized affidavit is online here: [1][2][3] (page 15). It was released in a 2007 book after his death in 2005. It is on pages 239-242 of the 2022 edition (I have the Kindle book): Witness to Roswell, 75th Anniversary Edition: Unmasking the Government's Biggest Cover-up (more eyewitnesses). Google Books previews 36 pages. Click "preview" button, and scroll to pages 239-240. Search within the book. Moonwalker Dr. Edgar Mitchell wrote the foreword.

Trump's 2017 tax cuts for the rich.
On average, taxpayers in the income groups highlighted in yellow will incur a net cost (shown as a positive figure as this reduces the budget deficit), due in part to reduced healthcare subsidies. Higher income taxpayers receive a benefit via tax cuts (shown as a negative number as this increases the budget deficit). The percent of taxpayers in each income group is also shown for the 2023 period. "Taxpayer" in the chart refers to a tax return, meaning it could represent one person or a married couple filing jointly, among other options. [4][5]. Commons source.

Barnstars, comments, etc.

You have GOT to be the coolest Wikisloth with super-powers that I ever met!! For a Sloth, you sure move at a quick pace!! :) Do you wear a "super cape", I wonder? That would really complete the whole outfit and mystique.. I keep trying to think of things I could maybe do for you since you are such a blessing and a help... Hmmm. Did you ever contact Roger Ebert before his untimely demise? Is there perhaps a photo of someone that I can search for on your behalf? Just say the words. I feel a great debt to you for your help over these years. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 12:00, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
For the concept of a noticeboard that would have allowed editors to air out complaints against abusive admins. Pity WP is not truly about improvement. —Djathinkimacowboy 01:18, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
You know, aside from wanting you to know I strongly supported your idea for an admin complaint board, I strongly support your whole philosophy. A huge problem here is the ignoring of content dispute plus admins who will not get involved in anything. Much of the opposition to your board proposition are childish whiners, I noticed. They claim a new notice board will decrease editing time. Don't let them get you down with such fallacious 'reasoning'. Keep at it! Godspeed, and drop me a line anytime.--Djathinkimacowboy 14:43, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

For diligence on the Iraq War subtitle debate and for helping solve a very tough issue. Also, nice work on keeping everyone (myself included) honest on the various casualties sections. Nicely done. Publicus 21:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Picture of the day
Chromolithograph of Lucrezia Buti and Filippo Lippi
Chromolithography is a method of printmaking using multiple colours, stemming from the process of lithography. It became the most successful of several methods of colour printing developed by the 19th century. This image is a chromolithograph of Love or Duty by Gabriele Castagnola, printed by Hangard-Mangué of Paris. The blocks on the lower right-hand side show the nineteen colours of ink used. The image depicts, like many of Castagnola's works, Lucrezia Buti and Filippo Lippi. Lippi, a painter, was in 1458 working in the city of Prato, Italy, where he set about painting a picture for the monastery chapel of Saint Margherita in that city. There he met Lucrezia, a beautiful novice of the order. Lippi asked that she model for the figure of the Virgin Mary, or perhaps Margaret the Virgin. The two began a sexual relationship, and Buti moved into Lippi's home. This relationship resulted in a son, Filippino Lippi, who became a famous painter, and a daughter, Alessandra.Illustration credit: Gabriele Castagnola; chromolithography by Jehenné; restored by Adam Cuerden

ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and Wikipedia finances[edit]

Update on Wikimedia's financial health. Wikipedia Signpost/2023-11-20/News and notes.

Wikipedia Signpost: Golden parachutes: Record severance payments at Wikimedia Foundation. 22 May 2023. This is outrageous. Just another example of the concentration of wealth and income into the hands of the 1% in the US.

See: ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer: Wikimedia Foundation Org. It is interesting to look at the greatly increasing salaries of CEOs of nonprofits over the years. Far faster than other salaries. Salary transparency is a wonderful leveling tool. ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer shows how some CEOs tried to sneak in a $300,000 pay increase one year, but had to drop back the following year. Why would I donate to a "nonprofit" like that?

This is part of a pattern: Richest 1% bag nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years. And: The First Trillionaire: No Cause for Celebration.
