Andy Post led into a story about a plan to bring broadband internet connections to rural communities in Northern Minnesota with the following comment: Pretty bold, eh? One might respond with something like “It’s 2011 and private industry still hasn’t gotten the job done and has no plan to, which is why the government is [...]
Someone who appears to be to the left, politically, of Tony Sutton, and a Comcast internet user, has been vandalizing Tony Sutton’s Wikipedia Page. The text in red below are the work of a rogue Wikipedia editor publishing from the IP address 69.180.156.203. Looking at the history of contributions from that IP address, most have [...]
Gold Star to Andy Post for writing a post about Sen. Amy Klobuchar that did NOT include a stolen photograph of our great Senator. That’s an improvement. Still, the contents of Post’s post itself was strange to say the least. Post criticizes Klobuchar for supporting something that has bipartisan support (fixing a poor piece of [...]
As I mentioned on the 19th, editing the Wikipedia page of someone you dislike can be difficult, since it’s tough to maintain a neutral point of view on such subjects. Yesterday, someone stepped up to the challenge by adding some background on Tony Sutton’s business practices. Based on their IP address, they appear to be [...]
W Hotel Times Square Double Asymmetrical TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. You may recall a W Hotel Times Square TP post from last week with an asymmetrical fold. This, my friends, is another presentation from the same hotel. The double asymmetrical. You may be asking yourself why a hotel would have a combination of doubles [...]
The Minnesota GOP has launched a website called AmyFacts.com where, according to their hyperventilating press release, they plan to “Highlight Klobuchar’s Real Record”. Quick question here: Why not just point people to Amy Klobuchar’s Wikipedia page? There is simply no way a site like the one the MN GOP created will ever rank competitively for [...]
Here is a challenging way to learn how to edit Wikipedia: try making edits to the pages of people you don’t like. For example, I made a few changes to MN GOP Chair, Tony Sutton’s Wikipedia page last night to include his recent career change.: The trick here is to make edits with a neutral [...]
I saw this earlier today on Minnesota Democrats Exposed and figured I’d give Andy Post and Ryan Lyk 12 hours or so to clean up this offensive MLK Day comment that was posted to their site. They have not: On The Deets, this comment wouldn’t fly because it’s racist, offensive, and off-topic (it appeared on [...]
One of the saddest forms of behavior I see from blog and newspaper comments is the use of different usernames depending on whether the person is willing to stand behind their comments at the time. On The Deets, all first-time commenter’s comments are held in moderation. This achieves three things: First, it prevents spam comments [...]
Yesterday, I called out both Ryan Lyk and Andy Post within the comments of MDE and here on The Deets for using copyrighted images from the Duluth News Tribune and Getty Images within their blog posts. On Andy Post’s post, where he used a photo from Getty Images that he found on The Telegraph, I [...]
