"I'm sick of this article being trolled. It's full of lies and nonsense. My justification for making a third nomination [for deletion] is that my circumstances have changed significantly since the last [request for deletion]".

AIUI wasn't one of the big things she was mad about the fact that the article said she was dating Tim Starling?

Who knows? The whole thing was apparently "full of lies and nonsense".

Correct. They weren't "dating." Her later marriage to Starling was arranged, as they had not actually met, before he lifted her wedding veil.

So romantic. And so relieved was he, for he was half-afraid that she'd look like Princess Fiona in nightime mode. But actually, only Jimbo has seen her that way.

Arranged Wikipedian marriages should be a common practice. RfMs (Requests for Matrimony) could solve many problems caused by the prevalence of social and interpersonal deficits. "The community" could vote and Mr. Wales could provide solemnize the unions.

Good for the kids. Good for the cult.

Not only did the presentation again blur the lines between the non-profit Wikipedia and the profit seeking Wikia, but Angela drew a hideous "chart" which looks like it was designed by inmates of the Jonestown compound.

You, on the other hand, get nothing.

Angela Beesley (T-H-L-K-D) (now Angela Beesley Starling after her marriage to fellow Wikipedio Tim Starling) is a co-founder of Wikia, and was on the board of the Wikimedia Foundation for long enough. She also dated fellow Wiki-ermmm-pedio Erik Moeller for several years.

She's well known to us Reviewers for being a leading apostle of the Wiki-cult, yet she fought vigorously to have her own biography removed. Writing:

Just how much Wiki-love did Angela feel when her biography was being "trolled"? I guess it isn't such a problem for Angela though, as she actually makes a living off all this "lies and nonsense". You, on the other hand, get nothing.

A little bird just told me (*) there's a perfectly rational explanation for that picture. It's a scan of a page from one of her old school books when she was about 12, illustrating her love for a spotty boy called "Wiki". It made its way into the presentation purely by accident.

Wait a minute. That's actually a real Angela Beesley poster? I thought it was another very dry satire by somebody here.

Damn, this is getting completely impossible.

Did you know that creativity was highly valued in Renaissance Europe as part of a keen awareness to balance Science and Art

t'would seem to be drawn by a chap called 'simon banks', by the way, not angela - though inspired by her talk (or something, or maybe he was just on crack, I dunno ;-)

No it's entirely serious

It's one of these management creative potential bullshit training companies, they are all entirely serious and deluded.

By the way, if that Murphy guy is reading I've got a good script idea for a movie, with Julia Roberts as Angela!

Sorry, if you've seen any of her less popular films you'd have realized Julia Roberts couldn't carry an accent in a five-gallon bucket.

Neither can Angela Beesley. The last time I heard her speak on some podcast, she sounded like a cross between Nicole Kidman while pretending to be English, and Steve Irwin mid death throes. Between them, I reckon Angela and PrivateMusings have created a whole new dialect.

As for Privatemusings, I feel he should push the fact that he's an Australian, more. Say the word "G'day" a lot, etc.

well strewth BS, I reckon any cobber knows I'm as fair dinkum as snags on a barbie. Have a cold 'n frosty on me, mate, and don't come the raw prawn, you flamin' galah, then she'll be right.

"Rule number one: NO POOFTERS!"

are you drinking, Eric? The lights are out, so don't let me catch you without a beer and a cultural stereotype ;-)

Angela though has cultivated that really strange hybrid of ending every sentence with a question mark???

wikipediaweekly.org/2008/02/04/episode-41-setting-the-record-straight/

There is a term for this affectation, and studies into its linguistic roots, but I can't remember the name for it now.

ps. G'day ;-)
pps. I'm really just a confused colonial pom, you know - perhaps 'pip pip' would suit better?

Stephen Fry said, in the Room 101 TV programme, that the practise was one of his pet hates.
