I agree with Ziko.
Gerard, please believe us, even if you don't perceive it yourself, that your aggressive language, however well-intentioned, is counterproductive, and is keeping others from engaging with you, or even engaging on the list in general.

Hoi, Yes that is incorrect. There is a Wikipedia article, it is one line and I have the distinct feeling that it is incorrect. Thanks, GerardM

Gerard, I feel like you are basically describing the role of the
Wikimedia
Blog. Is that incorrect?

Hoi, Wikipedia is not my thing. I hardly ever write on articles. The article states that Rosie wrote 1000 articles.. Hardly an argument why she
became a
Wikipedian of the year.
The other aspect I give attention to is that we are REALLY bad at
doing a
good job for our own. There is a lot that is uncontroversial that can
be
added. It it the least that can be done to indicate why she is a
Wikipedian
of the year. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi,
At Wikimania two wikipedians of the year were elected. The article
for
one
of them and the data at Wikidata are pathetic.
The article is a one liner stub. The Wikidata item had no statements
and
I
added the few that were minimally needed.
I find it incredible that we take no care of our own even when they
are
obviously notable. Thanks, GerardM
PS I have not looked at any of the others and I would welcome it when
they
get some proper attention.
