WOW! I didn’t know that either, haffast! I thought the Derps had it completely under their thumb.... and maybe they do in some ways, but this guy doesn’t seem to be that.... with his day job being a Border Patrol data guy? Wow.
One of my peeps? LOL! I’m flattered, but I’m thinking more like Swordmaker’s!
From the article you cited:
“...Six-thousand people visit the site every second, bringing a responsibility for the editors to present a diverse and fair platform.”
“We know there’s a lot more to be done. That’s why we’re very excited about projects like WOMEN IN RED, which seeks to identify and place more content on women on our platform ... Steven has been a large contributor to that project,” Kinyanjui said...”.
I was weirded out at first with that reference to women in a color we have been finding to be sinister in too many cases. I was relieved to discover that at least in this case, it is benign.
I looked it up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red
It seems that the red refers to the many cases where there is an article with a link to someone or something - but it is a dead link, and to indicate this, the link is red. I’ve run into this frustrating circumstance a LOT!
The “Women in Red” project has to do with the need to turn red links about women into blue links so there is information available about them.
So.... not sure if Wikipedia is Derp or not. Your research is giving me hope that it isn’t altogether Derp.
I do think I’ve seen indications of editing wars where derps got to the subject matter and it had been challenged by a non-derp, for example. I don’t recall if I’ve seen how they resolve that kind of situation, but I’ve seen curious notations from time to time which made me wonder about this. I think what I’ve seen is something like “editing closed,” or some such.
In the wiki article about the Women in Red project, it gives insight to why so many of their articles are identical to the other articles I find on a subject I am researching - especially if it is obscure, like some of the WIVES! LOL! It’s circular!
“...Notable women without a wikipedia biography can be added to any crowd-sourced redlists they match; and added to wikidata such that they’re included in wikidata-derived redlists....”
Wiki has a list of links which currently are red and are needing data connected to them.
Life support means feeding tubes, intravenous drips, mechanical respiration, heart/lung bypass, urinary catheterisation and dialysis. Two main complications can occur: infections at the points where intravenous lines and drains enter the body, and the problems associated with long periods of immobility. In principle, there is no upper limit to surviving on life support.
Patricia LeBlack from Guyana has been on continuous kidney dialysis in London for 40 years and John Prestwich MBE died in 2006 at the age of 67, after 50 years in an iron lung. More invasive life support, such as heart/lung bypass, is only maintained for a few hours or days, but patients with artificial hearts have survived for as long as 512 days.

Need a pillow.
Worldwide. The company was subsidized financially by the PRC government to enable under-bidding on communications contracts worldwide for at least the last twenty years.
To get the PRC government's nose under the tent. They've proliferated enough to where maybe they're in the black.
What chips does Huawei use in their phones? Their networks?
Same ones as Apple, Google, et al. Because they're manufacturing all of them for everyone.
They (the Chinese) have to be drowning in data, but it's all being stored.
Just like in Utah.
All your data belong to us. And them.
I hope we're better at it than they are. I think we'll be okay.
Although I have skimmed through much of the threads for too long now, perhaps I am at last caught up with the goings-on in the Qanteen and Q-land. Thank y’all for what you do to connect with truth.

You are most kind! We certainly do have some incredible people here on these threads! We are ALL so glad YOU are here! That goes for every Constitution-loving person who hangs out here - FReeQ, FReeper, or Lurk!
I have no doubt that as long as they can keep one finger alive on life support, they will say she’s alive. And who knows what cures they have that we sheep don’t.

This has me wondering if the recent Q drop re US officials visiting China referred to Whitaker. All this talk about Chinese company stealing technology makes me think of Feinstein. Maybe it’s really about selling stolen tech to China, and Feinstein getting rich off clandestine deals.

Oh Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets) you awe me! THAT IS BRILLIANT!
I dunno. sometimes I think she is.
The derps actually tried to make the claim that Kavanaugh shouldn’t be considered during an election year. Any election, not necessarily the president. They blur the issue to get their supporters nodding their heads, but even if you follow tradition, off year elections are different than presidential year elections, which are different than the election that ends a presidents second term (lame duck).
The reality is that if they have control of the Senate, they will take whatever course the advances their position, tradition be damned. Republicans should do the same.
wow, that clock is awesome!

Awwww. Thank you.
heeeheeeeh! HRC a 4 foot dwarf!
I might not be absolutely sure about whether Jocko is a female, but I am sure there is a few people here who can definitively answer that.

Daggum. Around here, every year is an election year - for some position or some amendment. If that’s the premise, then NO judge would ever be considered... OH. I get it now. THAT is their goal. F*ck-w@ds.
yay, xone!
