What he doesn't realize re. Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez is that I became involved with her article as a result of a distraught message relating to oversight. While I cannot discuss the details of course, and it didn't fall under Oversight remit, but I did my best at the time to limit the damage that David had been doing with her BLP on Wikipedia. He's pretty-much had it in for me since then. Ms. Valdes-Rodriguez was concerned at the time that he was beginning to obsess with her. Needless to say, Mr. Shankbone is totally unaware of the oversight background to this, nor of the subject's pleas. This was last February or thereabouts. It's all in the edit history.

I stupid[ly] set about trying to rid Wikipedia of the sexuality stuff, in hopes of minimizing the very real danger to me and my family at the hands of these obsessed and dangerous detractors. It only made the issue bigger, in particular because a man named David Shankbone, who is a self-proclaimed editor at Wikipedia (and frustrated writer) became obsessed with me too.
This is the kind of stuff that Mr. Shankbone thinks is okay to place, unsourced*, into someone's BLP, and explicitly against their wishes. Folks already know all this. And what's missing from this picture? Kindness, consideration, decency.
BTW - he's back
messing about with Seth Finkelstein again. Why??? (IMG:

(* yes, unsourced. The 'sources' cited were utterly unacceptable)
