And, of course, the page is now a deletion candidate.
oo that's actually a good idea!
ok so i've written here in favour of that idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/EOMA-68#EOMA-6...
if anybody else also supports that, please do add your voice (and independent opinion). you should know that you've all been "accused of being my lackeys" by one of the wikipedia adminstrators.
i've made it bluntly clear why i think it's a good idea that the page be deleted. i've spent a whole boat-load of time on it - most of the time was spent in the *talk* page, then on the COI page then god knows where else.
simplest thing is: assess for yourself whether the current page as being edited by wikifascists matches with the EOMA68 specification, and whether you believe that wikipedia "technical writing by consensus" stands even a snowball in hell's chance of producing anything that's remotely *accurately* informative.
now, i'm aware i could put that better, so as not to wind people up.... but i genuinely don't feel inclined to do so.
the page *before* JzG decided to go wikifascist (the one that you saw, paul) i've taken a copy of (because it was actually really good). i've placed a warning at the top of the EOMA68 standard page to warn anyone who might think that the Wikipedia page is "authoritative".
gods this is taking up far too much time.
