Trolling Consumerium at 10:50, 24 June 2004

			'''[[GetWiki]]: [[critical point of view]]''' is that the software is new, has some bugs, notably in making an [[interwiki link standard]] difficult to express (which [[MediaWiki]] does not) which may be deliberate sabotage for commercial purposes. However its primary drawback is its primary developer, [[M.R.M. Parrott]]. Here is a sample of his [[sysop vandalism]] on [[Wikinfo]]:

			* (diff) (hist) . .N Trolls; 02:18 . . Proteus (Talk) (from consumerium (note changes here))

			The log is unedited. Anyone who believes it is ethical for a sysop to edit a page and then immediately protect it to curtail comment is probably unethical. This is not the kind of person who should be deciding which features to add to Recyclopedia, [[Consumerium:Itself]] or any other [[deliberative democracy]]-based project, or indeed any [[troll-friendly]] project.

			Anyone who thinks discussion of an [[interwiki link standard]] is only relevant to [[GetWiki]] must think there is nothing else managing the GFDL text corpus, like e.g. no mediawiki, which seems to reflect a commercial bias - ironic as he accuses [[trolls]] of [[spamming]] here! Most likely it is his own spamlike assertions that GetWiki will eventually solve the problem that motivates him to make it hard to find or compare any equivalent proposals on other [[large public wiki]]s. In any case breaking links or common article naming that enable standards is unethical. Clearly the obscure GetWiki_talk:Corpus/InterWiki page is not the place anyone will deliberately look for cross-wiki cross-platform discussion of the issue.

			Such an arrogant attitude also assumes that Consumerium or [[Metaweb]] will never produce any software to work with that text either. Beyond that, anyone who deletes files that have standard names on several large public wikis without a redirect, is obviously doing so to censor comment.

			Finally, note the self-righteous tone here. Anyone who believes that their technological superiority implies moral superiority, or that comment on policy is spamming, is either insane, or asserting a clear [[commercial point of view]] for their own gain.

			Mr. Parrott's motives here are transparent. This is a good example of the kind of thing that must be strictly forbidden on Consudev:itself.

			This strongly suggests that [[Consumerium:Itself]] must move off GetWiki as Mr. Parrott is highly unlikely to implement any features useful for more deliberative democracy directed methods, e.g. a [[faction]].

			Whatever merits GetWiki has, it seems they are outweighed by the developer.

explaining abbreviation issues

			:::See [[interwiki link standard]] first. When that works, we will want some abbreviations. If I think [[Wikinfo]] has the best [[multiple point of view]] in English then [[m:]] should go to [[en:Wikinfo:]], but if [[Wikipedia]] has the only article in French then [[m:]] should go to [[fr:Wikipedia:]], etc.. We need a way to make faction-specific (maybe even individualized) interwiki links. Note this only works if article titles are identical or there is very disciplined use of redirects for all possible titles (which is best anyway).
