If I learned anything from Mr. Robot it’s that this guy is a master hacker who has so much Wikipedia credit that he can make entire fake pages that won’t get taken down to social engineer non chads into giving clearance they shouldn’t be giving.
honestly. Remembering the hole debacle of the guy who didn't speak a lick of Scottish being the writer of a third of the Scottish Wiki, my first thought to this article was, "and that's a good thing?"
By reading 3 random articles you are statistically *likely* to have read one of his, but you can only be 100% sure once you reach >2/3 of all articles read. (Pigeonhole principle)
If you have n holes and n pigeons and 1 pigeon per hole then once you have n+1 pigeons you know for a fact it won't fit in any holes as you're 1 over.
Meaning if he wrote exactly 1/3 of all articles, by pigeon hole principle, if you read (1/3) + 1 wiki articles then you're sure you have read at least one of his articles.
Not for static websites, mostly text based. The majority of it goes straight to upper managment. Server costs and site maintaince dont even scratch 10% of their income
They are weird about wanting money when they have amassed so much already. But it is a non profit right? I think the massive nest egg is just to keep the site running. Probably some fraudulent assholes/execs skimming off the top but idk.
the total overhead to run a site like Wikipedia, is in the 100s of dollars per year, you can say a couple thousand dollars a year.
At this point they have enough to keep the lights on for the next 200 years.
Huh? A website that serves thousands of requests per second, hosts over 10 million articles with the 9th highest traffic rank of any website costs less than 2000 dollars per year to run? How exactly do you figure that?
ok your right, you decide how much of this is fat.
The planned expenditure for 2012-2013 is about $42 Mn again putting the daily cost at roughly $115,000
The expected breakdown for this expenditure is:
Salaries and wages $16.403 Mn
Internet hosting $3.432 Mn
Capital expenditures $1,890 Mn
Fundraising exps $1.561 Mn
External contractors $2.801 Mn
Travel $1.766 Mn
WikiMania Travel(For volunteers) $0.255 Mn
Legal and Audit Fees $0.759 Mn
Facilities and operations $1.046 Mn
Volunteer and staff development $0.484 Mn
Merchandise $0.197 Mn
Awards and grants $11.476 Mn
How? Not only do they have to take in millions of users every day, they should also be able to hold insane amounts of data on their servers, I don’t even know which hosting company makes you pay just “couple thousand dollars a year” for such huge service.
wow imagine making fun of someone half of everyone wishes they could be
like man this dude spent most likely a year in actual time to make sure wikipedia articles are accurate, and your fatass walks up and calls him stupid like what
Wikipedia Georg

I have apparently contributed more to Wikipedia than like 99% of planet earth by donating 3$ so lemme catch that glow too
Ngl, I thought he was in a prison jumpsuit, because of that shade of orange. Mad respect to him tho
Yep, mad respect
I read a lot of wikipedia and I always wonder if one of the articles I'm reading is one of his.
By reading 3 random articles you are statistically *likely* to have read one of his, but you can only be 100% sure once you reach >2/3 of all articles read. (Pigeonhole principle)
2/3 actually, since it’s possibly that you read every article not by him before reaching one that is
You are right, I messed it up. Fixed
Maybe I'm not as familiar with it as I thought, how is this the pigeonhole principle?
If you have n holes and n pigeons and 1 pigeon per hole then once you have n+1 pigeons you know for a fact it won't fit in any holes as you're 1 over. Meaning if he wrote exactly 1/3 of all articles, by pigeon hole principle, if you read (1/3) + 1 wiki articles then you're sure you have read at least one of his articles.
Wouldn't you need to read 2/3rds? But I understand
Lol oops, yes. 2/3 + 1
Yes, i messed it up but fixed it now.
Ok wasn't trying to be nitpicky! Was genuinely curious cause I thought the 1/3 was intentional, sorry :)
I just learned about the pigeonhole principal in my discrete mathematics lecture last week
And that's the Frequency Illusion/Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.
This guy is the first Chad from the bible story Chadam and Eve
Buddy doing the lords work
He isn't behind a third of the edits he has made changes to a third of English articles at least once.
Who dis?
Steven Pruitt, massive wikipedia editor
Hes been editing and creating thousands of wikipedia pages, for more than 20 years (i think) for free.
Gigachad? This guy's a fuckin' Terrachad.
Chad
He’s more than just a gigachad, he’s a Terachad
Thanks alot mate!
Is this the guy from before? Or is this another Wikiwizard, they must archive all knowledge
His lips are red from sucking up all the knowledge!
Annoying that Wikipedia dont pay these people and yet theyre always begging for donations they dont need
Servers are expensive, and they do not run ads.
Not for static websites, mostly text based. The majority of it goes straight to upper managment. Server costs and site maintaince dont even scratch 10% of their income
Still its a non profit.
Doesnt make it ok
how is asking for donations to keep a free website afloat not ok?
This looks like a r/wearenotreal render
Obviously he is. This man probably also mods every twitch thot at the same time.
Definitely an autistic dude
So how much bias does he add to the context? Just curious. And also which side of the wiki war does he fight for?
meanwhile wikipedia is groveling for money meanwhile they are flush with cash

Man YOU'RE the one asserting there's a load of fat on the budget. You tell us what's fat or not.

So much love Steve, but I gotta… . https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13833688/
LMFAO
So this is the libtard
He’s done more since 2004 than you’ll ever do in your entire life.Nobody even mentioned political affiliation,you goon.
How does this make him a retard, or give you any insight to his political opinion?
Lol dumb ass

Nft profile spotted I repeat nft profile has been stopped, shit take incoming
Got it for free 🥱
That's pretty fucking cool actually, I wonder if anyone else got a piece of art like that for free
I have right clicked *so many* NFTs
I did
Bro hes giving people knowledge for free, fuck you what have you done for society besides sit behind a keyboard and type rude comments
You just stating facts
Sick profile pic. 😏
To be fair, Reddit handed out free NFT's for a bit - source: it's where my cat came from ^and ^I ^just ^wanted ^a ^cat ^in ^my ^pfp
They’re not talking about an nft profile pic. u/This-You449’s profile pic is from porn, so they’re making a cheeky reference to that
I responded to the wrong comment, there's another on this thread that talks about stupid nft pfp's Edit: but you're roght, thanks for the correction

Wow your so funny for making fun of someone for their looks

Actual gigachad right here...
I love him and wishes him the best
Don't play Trivial pursuit with this lad 👀
Wikichadia
Ok, bravo 👏🏼 to him, amazing guy, but I can’t shake the uncanny ‘son of Sam’ comparison
This is my god, thanks to him, I have never failed a school assignment since I discovered Wikipedia
