A quote from Dante's Divine Comedy

"...Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.

Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.

Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.

Such characters in colour dim I mark'd
Over a portal's lofty arch inscrib'd:
Whereat I thus: Master, these words import."

Dammit, yet another sad little child-lover playing on WP.

I'd make up a list of them, but it would be a disturbingly long list.
There's always the Wikisposure list from 2008.

Well I hope the guy finds some help. He seems to recognize the need for the help. Nevertheless he shouldn't be involved in a project that encourages collaboration between children and adults and then does nothing to supervise or protect the child. Assuming the most favorable reading of what he says (something I would never count on) he might have exercise sufficient control up to now but people have lapses of self control . His right to participation or self expression on the wiki is a trivial concern compared to the risk he asks people accept for his benefit.

Finite is the user that asked "where should someone go to get treatment?" in august 2008, while Legitimus is the user who answered, and who is still editing pages, and claims to be a mental health provider on his user page.

A long time since I looked at this. Who is Legimitus? Why has he been awarded a barnstar from Herostratus for erudition when he spells the possessive 'its' with a grocer's apostrophe? Why has Rlevse made him an 'awesome Wikipedian' (always a danger sign I find). Why is there an enormous row going on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pedophil...rlin_a_crank.3F at the pedophilia page? We should be told.

Sorry, I should pay closer attention.

Given the way you want Wikipedia to go with this, yes you should.

Oookay - so some sock account (likely JtV, I'd say) just posed this question on the Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee page. I replied rather quickly before it got reverted, as it's a serious question and I'd like to know the answer;
QUOTE
A serious question for the committee

What do you intend to do with Legitimus? Who is he? And why is he such a prolific editor in areas related to Paedophilia and Child sexual abuse? If the ArbCom deemed that Tyciol, a less prolific paedophilia POV pusher, had to be banned, why not block this one until an explanation is given? A security and morality check is in order here. Peter Damian the Late (talk) 22:28, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

So ... who is this Legitimus (T-C-L-K-R-D) guy, why does his name come up every so often and is there any evidence that he's pushing a pro-pedophilia viewpoint on WP? Because if there's evidence that he is, I'd really like to know angry.gif

EDIT: That didn't last long. However, he did get to post this question on Legitimus' talk page.

I get the strong impression you ruined Sandstein's fun -- he can't erase the wicked question now, in the same way that J.delanoy did on Legitimus' talk-page.

Anyways, given the nature of the area he works in, why wait or search for evidence? Block him now and demand bonafides to unblock.
