@spiders' contribution to the world this month was getting the Boops boops page locked for repeatedly changing the caption on an image from "A specimen in a bucket" to "Boops boops in a bucket"

there is a single wikipedia editor who has reverted the "Boops boops in a bucket" change repeatedly over the past year and a half, including a revert of an admin's edit, and who is the same one who requested the page locking, because apparently this one person can decide to put up a "no fun allowed" sign

if i had the energy i would continue poking the wasp's nest on a more formal dispute resolution page, because i really dislike these kinds of situations where a single wikipedian gets a little too involved in removing a fun cutesy thing, but i just cannot be assed to deal with wikipedian bureaucracy. so instead spiders is just going to get themself and probably most of comcast's seattle IP ranges banned for continuing to change the caption every few months when they remember to check it

After a Request for Comment, the Wikipedia community has determined that "Boops boops in a bucket" is the correct caption for that image.

here it is, in all its glory

Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.
