In early January 2003, Townshend admitted having provided his credit card details to a commercial child pornography website, and viewing the child porn images there, which he claimed to have done for research purposes. He made the admission after his credit card transaction was discovered as part of Operation Ore, a large anti- child pornography operation. When a British tabloid found his name on this list and asked for a comment, he went public and requested a police investigation. His home was searched and his computers confiscated. Police returned the computers several months later and did not contradict Townshend's claim that the computers contained 15,000 of his songs but no child porn. In May 2003, he was cautioned by the police (acceptance of which is technically an admission of guilt), who decided not to press charges, after finding no evidence that he was in possession of child pornography. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register, requiring him to register with the police every year and if he moves house. Failure to do so would carry a five-year jail sentence.
His research claims were bolstered by a document he wrote and posted on his official website in January, 2002. In "A Different Bomb (http://www.petetownshend.co.uk/media/020120adifferentbomb.pdf)," Townshend warns that portions of the Internet represent a terrible danger, primarily because it brings deviant material to deviant (and potentially deviant) people. The title suggests he views porn - and especially child porn - on the Internet as an inevitable negative, as scary as the atomic bomb. In March, 2004, Townshend was featured on a BBC television documentary in which he described his experiences as a result of the charges, stated that he was so upset by the accusations that he considered suicide, and apologized for the event. On May 19th 2005 Townshend turned 60.

Wikipedia Watch is a website critical of Wikipedia. It is owned by Daniel Brandt, the leader of the Southwestern chapter of Aryan Nations and an Internet activist.
― GET EQUIPPED WITH BUBBLE LEAD (ex machina), Monday, 12 December 2005 14:26 (eighteen years ago) link
The first such article I read was published by Salon.com and can be found here (http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2002/08/29/google_watch/print.html). This article isn't so bad as the others, the author does expose Brandt's motives:
Brandt is not a disinterested party; the dispute between Daniel Brandt and Google is personal. He has spent thousands of hours building a Web site that he believes is both useful and important, and Google, in its algorithmic blindness, has given Brandt a lower page rank than he thinks he's entitled to. Brandt finds it genuinely hard to believe -- and even personally insulting -- that Google won't give him more credit.
However the article does paint Mr. Brandt in a friendly light, and so it lends credibility to his cause - a cause which most if not all search engine professionals would regard as absurd.
The crux of Brandt's argument can be summed up with these paragraphs from the Salon.com article.
When you type "NameBase" into Google, Brandt's site comes up first, but Brandt is not satisfied with that. "My problem has been to get Google to go deep enough into my site," he says. In other words, Brandt wants Google to index the 100,000 names he has in his database, so that a Google search for "Donald Rumsfeld" will bring up NameBase's page for the secretary of defense. For some reason, though, all of NameBase's deep pages -- its pages with specific names and citations -- have a low Google page rank, which causes them to show up low in the search results. Search for "Donald Rumsfeld" in Google and in the first five pages you get a lot of .mil and .gov sites, some news stories, and some activist sites. Namebase's entry on Rumsfeld doesn't come up. (It is in Google's database, but to find it somebody would have to first wade through hundreds of results.)
Why is a Nazi collecting people's names and citations?

One criticism of the Tribune Company is that they are responsible for the Cubs' perpetual losing. The Tribune Company discovered that the Cubs are more profitable fielding a poor team, rather than spending big on free agents. The Chicago Cubs are located in a trendy area of Chicago, causing them to have great attendance at home games, even when the team is doing poorly.
If the Tribune Company is so unhappy about this, why don't they just edit it?

After the recent cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, the future of Trekdom is still uncertain, though it has been scaled back to its own core. Some may believe that Trekdom might die off, or it might be extinct at the onset of such conflicts such as World War III.

Their 1935 campaign was immensely successful as the Panthers finished with a 6–1 record, their only loss coming to the eventual league champion La Crosse Old Style Lagers. Their 1936 campaign featured a 6–0 victory over the Madison Cardinals, who folded a few days after the Lagers defeated them 100–0 in an effort to kick them out of the league

Demi-relatedly, I appreciate this section on Bessemer, Michigan:
This section was made by somebody who lives in bessemer. However because of that, this part does not currently have citations.Logging and fishing is a large part of the culture of Bessemer, Logging because people use wood stoves to heat their homes in the winter, And fishing for the reason of sport & as an hobby.In vehicles, Electric cars are completely out of the question. As there are no electric car charging stations. And also there are a large portion of pickup trucks, they are good as they are easy to throw wood onto without damaging the truck, while also not being a hefty semi truck. So in that way it is perfect for logging. And its also not as small as a SUV which also has an roof in the way.Hunting is also another part of the culture, both for sport and for the food that comes out of it.Another part of the culture is how Bessemer is more attached to its locacllity to the UP rather then the state of michigan. Also see the Superior (proposed U.S. state) article. The citizens take pride in how they are locals and how the town is not a corporatized city, As they like the towns overall atmosphere.

was looking up the fall's peel sessions, couldn't remember how many they did. the wiki article on the Peel Sessions 1978-2004 is very nearly baroque. someone actually put in a table:
Among the 97 total tracks on The Complete Peel Sessions, the following were cited as highlights of the set by at least one critic from the aforementioned reviews:Tracks cited by one or more critics as highlights of The Complete Peel Sessions 1978–2004:
my favorite thing is that this table _includes the number of critics who named the track as a highlight_
there's also this in-line parenthetical note:
"Jingle Bell Rock" (Bobby Helms cover; with substantially different lyrics to the original 1957 song)
my favorite of all has to be the editorial note added to rob fitzpatrick's review of the release:
In France, John Peel would have surely have been hung [sic?] in the town square long before he, or his favourite-ever band, the Fall
it's that little question mark that does it for me. like yes, wiki editor, perhaps fitzpatrick _was_ indeed suggesting that john peel would have had a monster cock were he french.

unusual details, Eli Roth being a dick:
Roth originally wanted Cerina Vincent to show her naked buttocks during her sex scene with Rider Strong. Vincent, who had previously played a nude foreign exchange student in Not Another Teen Movie (2001), was afraid that exposing too much of herself would lead to being typecast as a nudity actress and vehemently refused to bare her buttocks.[citation needed] At the peak of this conflict between the two, Vincent told Roth that if he wanted the shot so badly, he would need to re-cast the role with another actress. But they managed to reach a compromise, in which Vincent showed one inch of her buttocks on camera before Roth measured it for it to be precise. Bedsheets were then taped to her backside at the designated level and the scene was filmed.[15]

Another version, which was described as "Fish Bowl", includes a standard 3 rounds. Players are split into two teams. All players contribute 3–5 words containing common phrases, celebrities, or nouns. All word cards are added to a vessel resembling a fish bowl (hence the name). During a turn, one player from Team A takes one word card out of the bowl and engages in the rules of the round until a team member guesses the word. The player then draws another word, and continues until 30 seconds to 1 minute has elapsed. One Team B player follows Team A. A round continues until all words have been guessed. All words are returned to the fish bowl, and the next round beings. Round One consists of Catch Phrase (game), where players can use unlimited words to give clues (except words that rhyme). Round 2 follows the rules of Charades. Round 3 follows the words of password, where the clue giver can only give a one-word clue. Round 4, the sheet round, was created by Dr. Joan Meiners in a living room in Logan, Utah, during a standard game of fish bowl. During the sheet round, players repeat the rules of charades with a bed sheet covering their body.
