Ellen Page (movie star)

An article called "Ellen Page" is no longer on Wikipedia.  I'm pretty sure if you call Ellen "Ellen", or "she", you will be banned for all eternity as well.

Ellen Page sort of can be found on Wikipedia, however, like so many missing things, it's in the history, which usually isn't changed, except for when it is, usually by deletion of an entire article.  Here is a copy paste quote from 10 March 2006

Ellen Page also known as Ellen Philpotts-Page (born February 21, 1987) is a Canadian actress most notable for her award-winning roles in Pit Pony and Marion Bridge, and the 2004 TV series Regenesis. Recently Page has also landed the role of Shadowcat in the forthcoming X-Men movie, X-Men: The Last Stand, directed by Brett Ratner.

But if you follow the link you will see the article is now called "Elliot Page", which certainty was not the case in 2006.  (she changed her name in 2014)  So even the past can be changed.

 An article called Ellen Page can no longer be found on Wikipedia.  Of course it's more complicated than this, but discussing it or stating an opinion about it might get you cancelled.

Climate alarmism, Climate change alarmism, global warming alarmism

 Not found on Wikipedia.  There is one page where the term appears, but only showing the redirect, to a page that does not contain the term.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_climate_change#Claims_of_alarmism

Digging into the redirect page, the history files show it did once exist.

en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Climate_alarmism&oldid=102478055

Of course.  But the changing the page to a redirect wipes out all the info, and the page it redirects to does not contain anything about climate alarmism, or any related term.

It's exactly what I expected to find.  We can even see where somebody decided the page had to go.

It's right here

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Climate_alarmism&oldid=104538090

Looking at the user contributions shows somebody who was posting on Wikipedia in a manic fashion, over 500 edits in 4 days

Over 500 more edits in the next three days, it goes on and on.  Thousands and thousands of edits.  (user stopped all editing in 2012)

I know this because I am trying to find the user history surrounding the deletion edit of 2007.  And having to look through 10,000 edits to find it.  4,7000 edits in August 2006 alone.

Another 5,000 edits in September 2006.  OK this is absurd, I don't even have to keep looking.  

It would mean going through 40,000 more edits at least.  OK I had to see, it was actually only 36,000 more edits.  I'm not joking here.

In general it's another example of how things that some people don't like" get deleted from Wikipedia.  By various means.  And it can be a very small number of people involved.  Sometimes just one.

(this brief commentary, on this blog,  is itself something that is not found on Wikipedia)

Finding the user contribution history allowed us to know the reason used for deletion/redirect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Climate_alarmism&oldid=104538009

Here it is "title is inherently POV; an NPOV article can't be written with this title"

So a term is "inherently pov", so it can't exist on Wikipedia.  That is too funny for words.  Make the effort finding it worth it.

Lets see if that phrase exists anywhere else on the internet.

Nope.  That is the only place it is to be found, anywhere.

And now also on this blog post.

Can it be due to the grammar error. (should be "a NPOV", not 'an NPOV')

What about just "an NPOV article can't be written with this title"?  Does that exist?  What if we fix the grammar?

Nope.  No version of that phrase exists anywhere else.  Fascinating.  It's something found on Wikipedia, that quite simply has never been written online before.  And at the same time, used as the reason to delete an article, which of course was about something that does exist.

Wikipedia. is our modern woke world made large.

The 13 year war over the tides

 This one actually deserves not to be found on Wikipedia

How it started ...

Witty Comics wittycomics wittycomics.com

 Not found on Wikipedia  wittycomics.com

No surprise there.  Just going to the log in page doesn't show much of anything.  You have to do a search, and find a creator to see a lot of comics.  Like grouchobeer

The site has been around since at least 2005

It looks like 2005 had many more characters to use.  You can simply type in a number to find a comic.  Many are missing.

Update 

It seems I might have annoyed them, which makes no sense.  There is no way anyone can even find this blog post.

David Firth (animator) creator of Salad Fingers and other things

The article was deleted about https://twitter.com/DAVID_FIRTH

But he used to be on Wikipedia

Wikipedia deleted his entry, saying he is not notable.  This nonsense is exactly why I started this blog, rather than allowing other people to edit or delete content.  It looks like it was just one user who championed the deletion.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Firth&oldid=1085664551

The references were also deleted.

Bavarian fire drill Bavarian Fire drill

In the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, a Bavarian Fire Drill is the technique that the Illuminati use to control people's minds by inserting keywords and actions into their speech that make people automatically obey.

A senior Discordian demonstrates this to a junior Discordian by jumping out of their car in a traffic jam, walking around and clanging on things, and repeating "Everyone, stay calm, move to rear, no pushing" and other phrases associated with emergencies. Everyone follows the orders, even though there is no fire present.

By extension, the phrase can be used to describe any swaying of people's opionins by bringing up ghoulies. during the 80's, for example, mention of Drugs and the need to have a War on Drugs were used as a Bavarian Fire Drill to get instant public support. Since the effectivness of that has worn off, a number of candidates have been put forward for the same effect; including computer crackers, terrorists, gun owners, and (in the aftermath of Columbine) geeks.

A perfect example of a Bavarian Fire Drill is a book I found at the library here in Portland, Oregon the other month. It was entitled "Militias and Hate Groups", thus connecting the two in anyone who looked at the book uncritically. I can only imagine the reaction if someone wrote a book entitled "Homosexuals and Child Molesters" or "Southern Baptists and Foot Fetishes"

Groomer (and also OK Groomer)

The old page

Now it redirects to bridegroom lol

Definitely not found on Wikipedia, but the term is mentioned here

Groomer is a term for an adult who prepares a child for sexual abuse, or worse.  You have to go to urban dictionary to find it defined.  Child grooming used to be a positive term.  Now it all about sexual grooming.

groomer

a groomer is someone who builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child or young person so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them.

groomer

A much older adult who has sex with teenagers.

"At the age of 16, an attractive, naïve, yet horribly precocious only child living in Twickenham, Barber began a two-year sexual relationship with a much older man whom she calls Simon. Nowadays, flashy Simon, with his posh motors and fancy cigars, would be called a predator or a groomer but back then, still in the days when even the brightest girls were expected to bag a man at the first opportunity, it was Barber's parents who actively encouraged the affair." (Review in The Scotsman, July 15, 2009)
