So Sam Blacketer was that Dbiv guy from a few years ago?
Dbiv was bad news. He played Wikipedia like a board game, providing one of the worst examples of cronyism. He was completely unethical, and I hope he is now sick as a parrot.
Case closed.
Yet another example of why WP's governance is just a mess.
And let us not fail to notice the hypocrisy of the fact that when we found out what Boothroyd/Blacketer did for a living, it was (according to his now-suddenly deleted BLP) pretty much what he accused Greg of doing, above, while "Blacketer." Providing potted bios of UK politicians for money. Which, in his case, he duly eventually uploaded to Wikipedia. He's done hundreds of them. SO--- this was not all work done compleley altruistically and as a hobby.
Jimbo, you've been
had, again, by somebody you protected and your people promoted. And I see you're now blocking Kohs from pointing out in most public fora what a dupe you've been AGAIN. Which means that NOW you really ARE effectively protecting one guy who used Wikipedia for a business-extension, at the expense of another who did it honestly. If you didn't before, you certainly are NOW. No fair hiding under the banner of ignorance NOW.
Windily and Unconvincingly Yrs,
