(Not a very) Good Question

It seems ^CEshe^V has developed a new habit. Not content with cutting and pasting (incorrect) trivia from one place to another, she has started tagging every single question anyone asks as a "Good Question". Sometimes two at a time. I could add several dozen more but I think you get the idea. There are currently 113 unanswered questions for April, 32 for March and another 31 for May (still a couple of days left, ^CEshe^V!)

This is a good one. The question is genuinely useful, but all our intrepid admin does is ask "someone want to look into this?" in the edit summary. Or this one, where a totally pointless question merits the template only to have it removed again after Xyzzy replies with "shit happens" (I'm paraphrasing here). Or this one, which should never have been posted on the talk page anyway (that was kertaw48's fault) but certainly didn't need this template when the {{fact}} template exists.

It looks as if ^CEshe^V is joining Elliot the Obnoxious and Thick and the Whining Little Bitch in making pointless change after pointless change to add to their edit counts and make it look as though they're relevant.

About Bloody Time

Good to know that Daveh is a UESPWatch reader: he's finally decided to upgrade the wiki software. Admittedly, he's taken so long about it that what should have been a simple upgrade is now proving to be a problem. Four days after his original post and UESP is still using the old 1.14 release. If he had upgraded to 1.17 when he originally promised to, or to 1.18 when he promised to do that, this would have been a lot easier.

Of course, he isn't helped by the Whining Little Bitch and his typical useless whining. Eleven successive posts listing all sorts of problems, real and imagined, plus another here aren't going to help anyone.

At least he's doing something useful for a change. Maybe now he can fix all the other problems, like caching, categories and so on.
