Originally started by Daniel C. Boyer (T-C-L-K-R-D) way back in 2004. Even SlimVirgin messed with it. (Poor little animals, being given worthless degrees, how sad.)
Dragged to AFD by a much-hated deletionist familiar to WR, JBsupreme (T-C-L-K-R-D) . Somehow, Jeffmcneill (T-C-L-K-R-D) became the owner of a copy of the article. But there was no need to rescue this incredibly valuable article from deletion, because it was duly renamed to "list of animals etc", and merged with "list of dogs etc" which someone else felt the desperate need to create, as a result of this horrible, horrible AFD.
And here it is on Reddit, being called "Possibly the most awsome page in the whole of Wikipedia" (sic). As you can see there, it's been posted on Reddit seven other times in the last 3 months.
Reddit has come to regard Wikipedia as a source of amusing links. Sadly, they don't critique the articles--they seem to act as if all of WP was accurate.
(Whoops, turns out Steve already caught this one.)
Final question: why hasn't JBsupreme been blocked in a major fashion yet?
His userpage gets vandalized on a regular basis.....and, he gets dragged to AN/I about once a week.
(Oh, and Arbcom is half-heartedly thinking about "punishing" him.)
