Am I seriously still blocked on
English Wikiversity? Not only that -- but no e-mail access rights, no Talk page rights, and I can't edit my User page to look the way I want it to?
Does Adambro run that joint? Wikiversity really has a problem.
Adambro is an eccentric 22 year old college student. He's eminently qualified by wikimedia standards to lord over learning projects and decide what type of porn is the most educational for children.
I wish he would actually adambrate or adumbrate or whatever those standards, because I can't find them anywhere. I suppose you just have to know it when you see it.
I now have enough evidence to adumbrate Adambro's current policies and practices regarding acceptable content on Wikiversity.
As of today, he is no longer executing 1-year rangeblocks on 32,000 addresses at a clip.
This is his new practice, as of this morning:
1. He now only blocks a single IP at a time, and for just a week.
2. He quickly reverts any edits by the blocked IP, putting a ludicrously specious reason in the blocking log.
3. He semi-protects the page edited by the blocked IP.
His intention, near as I can tell, is to systematically deny the rights of his fellow scholars at WV the freedom to peaceably assemble and study the subjects of their choice with the collaborating scholars of their choice.
In this manner, he is systematically disabling Wikiversity and rendering it dysfunctional and unusable as a collegial and congenial learning community of collaborating scholars.
I reckon the likely result of this clearly visible policy and practice will be to drive veteran scholars like Geoff Plourde, PrivateMusings, JWSchmidt, and Abd away from Wikiversity and over to alternate venues like
NetKnowledge, where they will not be encumbered and impeded by Adambro's oppressive thumb.
