Why is there a Boing Boing article in Featured Articles on the front page? Who has edit access to the front page and why are they spamming?
Apparently the Featured Articles list comes from http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Template:Lesswrong:FeaturedArticles , which is maintained by Costanza. Looks like she added it during a routine weekly update, I guess to get some variety to the list? Anyway, I deleted it for now. (You may need to hit "Force reload from the wiki" to see the updated front page.)
And before anyone criticizes Costanza too harshly, I'd like to say that regularly updating the list of featured articles each week is a great thing for someone to do, and I'd like to thank Costanza for being the one to do it. :-)
Kudos to Costanza for doing this nearly regularly every week for over one year. I'm curious though, how are the front-page articles selected?
Seriously, this.
I concede that the article is well-written and seems to fit well with LW principles and values, but why is it "Featured" (and by who?) and why is it trolling the front page?
It doesn't seem to be written by a prominent LW user that I know of, unless much alias shenanigans is happening or they're an "offline" LWer.
