They're based on edit count and not something meant to be taken seriously. It's not a rank either; you don't gain any meaningful status by having more edits. I don't get any money.
Used it as a faux qualification here just to express that I'm experienced and qualified to answer dumb questions.
Ok, here goes another - are you aware that I'm gonna tag you a senior wikipedia editor on my lemmy app and thus gonna be reminded of who you really are each time I come across you?

Obviously someone in the BBC was salty that he didn't get to write the article on Ozzies death, so he quickly edited it in the Wikipedia so he could claim the "first" bragging rights.
what is still strange to me is that the BBC article was one of those coverages they do - where they update the page as new information flows in (or they just decide to say something more). and the first part of that at 8:11pm is just a short paragraph

In any of these “Nobody: “ memes you can crop that line and it changes very little. It’s a shit format imo.
It made sense when it was (originally) used properly. But no one ever uses it correctly anymore. And then they blame boomers for not understanding memes, as you see in this very thread a few comments up.

wrote last edited by [email protected]originally it was supposed to mean something being said or done unprompted. most people use it wrong so it doesn't make sense. here for example, the prompt is in the caption. someone died. that's the prompt. the use of was follows it logically.
the proper use of the meme would be something like:
Nobody:
Stephen King:
because he just says that shit unprompted, no one asks him about it, no one accuses or even suspects him being involved and suddenly, after years of criticizing orange mussolini, this happens to be the one time he supports him. that justifies the "nobody:" imo.

who you really are
I don't think this actually gives you additional insight into their life, lol. We still don't know the important questions: Do they fart when they sit down? How many chinchillas do they own? What's their favorite medieval weapon? If they could en passant in real life, when would they use it?

This is the guy that saved c/vegan on .world after the fiasco where the community basically imploded and moved to ML land. I'm not even a vegan (or vegetarian), but I know that :). Technician has done some Lemmy work.

Who gave you that rank? Do you get monies?
It's a title given to Spanish editors I think.

Wikipedia senior editor here to answer all your dumbest Wikipedia-related questions. Fire away.
You must have a script to make everything past tense when they kick the can, no?

If anyone deserves credit for saving the comm, it'd be @[email protected]. She doesn't post there anymore owing to disagreements with
.world(now posting in other vegan comms), but for a long time, she was the beating heart of /c/vegan. -

wrote last edited by [email protected]Sometimes you'd think so. It's actually more delayed than you'd think; major celebrities are often several minutes between major article publication and edit, when theoretically you could speedrun that kind of edit with a source in about two minutes from time of reading the article.
You might've seen this, but the editor who changed Henry Kissinger to "was" became such a social media phenomenon that day that her talk page was flooded with "congratulations". An administrator (being responsible, tbf) had to step in and remove gravedancing, my own included.
Shame this kind of edit isn't consistent or "Was%" would be a really fun speedrun. "Banned from Club Penguin%" energy.

Why did it take Wikipedia so long to add dark mode?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm going to refer you to Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost, but if there's jargon in there that makes no sense, I can clarify. The TL;DR is that the skin Vector (2022) (an update from Vector (2010)) made the interface more flexible to customization, logged-out users could now have preferences, and Wikipedia's design was all over the place after 20 years of largely decentralized development.

The fuck does “nobody” add to this?
Two possibilities.
1: It's the calm before the storm. It implies nobody was egging this on. People were simply going on with their lives, when suddenly a thing happens. "Out of nowhere." It's a common trope both visually and in writing.
2: It makes autistic people mad.

favorite edit you ever made?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I don't have a specific favorite singular edit. If I did, it'd have to be the time I nominated 'David Joyner (business executive)' for deletion shortly after the killing of Brian Thompson. Whereas I could've waited for things to cool down, I didn't want to politick. This circulated around BlueSky, well-meaning people who didn't understand how we handle article inclusion brigaded the discussion, and some moron writing for Gizmodo accused me personally of being a paid CVS shill conspiring to hide Joyner's name (despite the fact that this name was proudly displayed on CVS' website as the first result in a search engine). The situation was just so stupid and made me lose some faith in Gizmodo's ability to do basic research.
Favorite series of edits? Definitely the time in 2021 I started a good article review for the article 'Marjorie Taylor Greene' and it got so out-of-hand that I ended up overhauling the entire thing because I kept finding problems (well outside the scope of a GA review). I thought it was really good by the time I was done, and it was really satisfying reading an article where MTG bitched at some local rally about her Wikipedia article – a sign I'd done something right.
These two examples aren't representative of my edits at all.
