Mantanmoreland goes socking? (Again?), LOL Options

according to Judd's (wordbomb's) latest podcast, his next podcast will address the infamous 8000 emails. Those are the ones where over 1600 involve Gary, and many of those detail his sock show on Wikipedia.

Judd promises it to be a jawdropper, so stay tuned to http://www.deepcapture.com/.
Wikipedia is in-play, lol.

Jimbo is on CNBC right now, and Becky Quick is complaining about her BLP. Get Gary on the phone, Becky, he edited it, lol. You know Gary don't you? LOL.

That page on this anchor is a total copyviolation. I just flagged it, lets see if anyone misbehaves and removes the template notice without fixing it (I don't have time to rewrite it, but its flagrant).

Probable Gary Weiss sock alert.

Film noir, penny stock interests. Editing on Microstrategy article echos his BusinessWeek writing on same company circa 2000.

I reserve the right to be wrong.

Am I reading too much into this particular diff?

I doubt it's Gary. The account was created back in 2007 and didn't get used during the Julian Robertson crisis of early 2010, when Weiss sacrificed all of his known sock assets fighting Cla68.

Additionally, the guy seems to edit articles on technologies Weiss could never grasp.

Finally, Mr. Razor's behavior on his talk page seems to completely lack the classic douchebaginess that defines most of Weiss's adversarial interactions.

That said, I, too, reserve the right to be proven wrong.

The David Wolfe edits are the tell if any, after editor obviously watched a 1949 Glenn Ford film noir. And travel related edits in October's, hee hee.

The tech edits appear to mixed in with a jihad against Woody Norris. Gary's probably been supporting himself with a penny stock shorting habit.
Although googling turns up no online rants against Norris. Just 100% Byrne lol.

If it's not Gary it's someone from SoCal. Although that diversion is not consistent as there are some edits about some very minor Brooklyn issues.

Gary looks like he took all that slagging about his appearance personally. Look at his new twitter avatar, looks like WP's Biggest Loser has been doing some more losing. I think his handle is "gary_weiss" on the twit sphere.

I was waiting for someone to bring that up. ScottyBerg has been editing the crap out of Weiss's BLP for some time.

And this, from Weiss's Twitter, says volumes about the guy.

It's not the edits to the bio that raise red flags in my eyes: those are fairly innocuous. It's the stuff on the talk page that concerns me.

== Article or PR Piece? ==

Many of the references in this article point to the subject's own self-written website [http://www.gary-weiss.com]. Reading it, I found that portions of this article are taken almost verbatim from that same site. That, plus evidence suggesting the subject himself originally wrote the article makes me think it deserves a comprehensive re-writing (or elimination?).[[Special:Contributions/174.253.190.211|174.253.190.211]] ([[User talk:174.253.190.211|talk]]) 03:53, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

:No, the tone here is neutral and the personal website is used appropriately. You've just returned from a 72 hour block for BLP violations in this article, for adding negative unsourced information, and appear to have a personal animosity toward this subject suggestive of a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]]. Please be aware of the "Article probation" section at the top of this page applies, as it concerns adherence to site policies and disclosure of "any circumstances (but not including personal identifying information) that constitute or may reasonably be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest with respect to that page."
