Again ...[edit]

... the typical reaction of the silly little dictators running Wikipedia is: No arguments, no civilized apporach, but "block" and "delete". Jerk reflex. Nobody cares when a "normal" contributor is defamed as "utter fool" for a well founded, professional edit with half a dozen citations from acknowledged standard references. This offensive approach is, to the contrary, applauded by other "admins". Wild guesses who the contributing person is in real life (and of course far missing the point) are no problem although there were times when any attempt to unmask a user would led to immediate punishment due to violation of privacy rules. Long gone. When the victim starts defending, however, the hysterical reaction (in complete lack of any argument) is primitve blocking, deleting, the same mind set as we find for a any mad fourth world dictator. Idi Amin said, we respect freedom of speech, but there is no freedom of consequences thereof ... Could be the mantra of Wikipedia.

Just for the log, as I won't repeat myself, and for the use in my lessons:

The attempted edit, a correction of an obvious error, failed, and it failed foreseable. The only objective was to demonstrate the complete uselessness of Wikipedia and to justify that Wikipedia articles must not be used nor be cited in professional work in order to avoid substantial benchmark penalty. Company networks therefore should block all Wikipedia sites for employees.

Do you really think I care whether the simple minds using Wikipedia know which plane attacked some US carrier 75 years ago, long since scrapped? I do know the correct answer for 50 years, and I am right and Wikipedia is wrong. However, my finding has been widely duplicated some two decades ago after the model kit community got word of the matter: Hasegawa issued their iconic 1/48 B7A2 Ryusei "Grace" kit also in the dive bomber version (#JT50) with Shigeo Koike's striking box art depicting the plane just releasing its two (!) 250kg bombs side by side at the end of the dive run on USS Franklin. Bingo - the rabbit was out of the hat! There is now nobody in the expert historical model community who does not know on that a Grace smashed Franklin, and non-US historians slowly picked up the news during the last years, also. So I did not disclose any secret any more when using this topic for the demonstration of the inferior quality and unprofessional handling of things in Wikipedia - what I stated is now for years all over town except for the Wikipediots with admin status and the stubborn US historians who always are last in the world to understand something every schoolboy in Iraq or Simbabwe already knows. No, I did not insult anybody, it were the Wikipediots who made complete fools of themselves, all alone, without any help, they are perfect in that subject, as always and easily expected - just to evidence it again in a striking recent matter. You're unable to count to two. Two bombs are more than one, and this extremely basic logic fact already completely overcharges the blockheads playing at the knobs as Wiki admins.

End of exercise. You Wikipediots lost, and you not even did notice. My closing remark is a perfect play on words: Not recognizing the "Grace" as the correct plane type - quelle disgrâce!

And yet you still haven't actually sited a single, reliable published source to support your claim. Not amazing, Grace. :) BilCat (talk) 00:59, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
