General Discussion • Re: Goanna article in EN Wikipedia has been nominated for deletion

I'm not sure in what way this would be handled otherwise. We don't do closed door backroom secret negotiations to determine PR strategy or presentations on other sites out of our control. That's a level of corporate BS I don't want to touch with a 20 ft pole. If that's what Wikipedia expects because they are so afraid of being called out on their biases, then I can only disappoint. As for Job losing Wiki editor status? If they are going to, then they are going to anyway -- there's a reason I linked the video above showing they even do it to their co-founder. I don't think us discussing how to improve the article after being mentioned on the forum would make a difference there, and even if it would, that ship has now already sailed, anyway.

So, those with the time and skill to improve the article with more than the minimum amount of flair (props if you get the reference), please do so. If you have independent arguments reading this and are not considered "close" to the project, feel free to poke the "talk" page about the AfD status. If it's going to be deleted or merged, then so be it. I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be an accurate-as-feasible resource with factual material in a well-organised manner, but I guess I may have been in error with that assumption. If it gets merged then the next application to build on Goanna that isn't directly related to Pale Moon can make a point to split it back out, I guess. Just more busywork to create churn where none has to be, but so be it.
