Removed materials recreated: Part 3 - Wikipedia templates are triply lying now on a fake user's page

Ver. 1.1.0

Let us start with a lie. Not mine, but Wikipedia's itself. 


Original Wikipedia page: Zezen at [a local].wikipedia.org

Current status: FAKE

It does not say what it used to say. It is claiming now, in the local language:

Utwórz swoją stronę użytkownika. Nie bój się, że coś pójdzie nie tak. W strony użytkowników na ogół nie ingeruje nikt poza ich „właścicielami”. Jeśli coś Ci się nie uda, dzięki zakładce „Historia i autorzy” zawsze można przywrócić wcześniejszą wersję strony.

which means: 

Create your user page. Don't be afraid of something going wrong. Usually, no one interferes with the users' websites except their "owners". If you fail, you can always restore the previous version of the page thanks to the "History and authors" tab.

There are three lies there:

* Do be "afraid" of anything going wrong. A "serial 404-er" not only removes content, based on unclear ex-post-facto rules, but also creates a fake to pretend it existed.

* You cannot restore the previous version now. 

* There is no History available.

* There is no Author of this (old) page shown, either. 

There had also been no vote, no discussion, no query

The history has been rewritten into a lie and the page's author evaporated

Precisely as she had predicted in this removed essay

#1984. Congratulations, WMF - your control over the narrative is strong. 

Even within the post-Chinese WP:WMCUG campaign materials removal debacle, the majority of votes were cast to "keep it all", and myself I had voted "do not erase their history" (mostly as it needed further dispassionate research). 

Here, as it had been done with WP:FRAMGATE - a "(shadow) siteban as a service":

Current fake content, with fake promises




So - let us recreate history here.... : 

[TBC]


Update A

Namaste wiki source

Two obvious (and trite?) quotes only for now, gentle readers, from the same perenial source, as yours humble has been busy with some more meta- and infra-physical tasks:

“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”

George Orwell, "1984"

+

The atmosphere of hatred in which controversy is conducted blinds people to considerations of this kind. To admit that an opponent might be both honest and intelligent is felt to be intolerable. It is more immediately satisfying to shout that he is a fool or a scoundrel, or both, than to find out what he is really like.

George Orwell, "As I Please" in Tribune (1944)

For the ones among you who still do not click referenced wikilinks or read archives to check facts (and not their interpretations or base name-calling) for yourself, ThoughtCo has this blurb:



"Who Controls the Past": Key Takeaways

  • "Who controls the past controls the future" is a quote from George Orwell's 1949 novel, "1984." The novel describes a dystopian future, where all citizens are manipulated by a single political party. Orwell was writing when information was being controlled by a minority of people, and his novel contains references to Nazi Germany.  The quote still reminds us that it is important to identify the sources of the information we receive.
