There's a discussion on ANI ( permalink) about whether a user should be banned for referring to Roman Polanski as a child rapist on Jimbo's talk page, per BLP. There seem to be a lot of Polanski defenders on Wikipedia. The following post disturbed me the most, though. Apparently, statutory rape against a 13-year-old isn't the same as statutory rape against a child. QUOTE Polanksi was convicted of statutory rape, and there is no question whatsoever that he committed that crime. Calling him a "child" rapist, however, is a question of definition, as his victim was 13 years old, not 5 or something. So it's best to stick to what he was convicted of and avoid emotionally-charged terminology. â†Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:50, 16 January 2010 (UTC) Perhaps it's another example of why Wikipedia is broken - because they generally believe a 13-year-old isn't a child.

Yes, though in Polanski's case, since heavy drugging was involved (not something his victim brought or ordinarily used) it was rape-rape, not "only" statutory-rape.

Well in a miscarriage (or victory if you a particular point of view) of justice, he was charged only with statutory rape. Yes, which the system forgot about at sentencing time, in contravention to prior agreement. Then said, "We can discuss that little matter if you come back and submit to arrest." To which Polanski said "Gee, and you want me to take YOUR WORD on that?" Basically a pox on everybody involved in this FUBARed case. Perhaps they should just start over and re-try him for the same crime, slate clean. An appeals judge could actually set it all aside and make them do that.

The problem in this case, really, is that the person who made the initial post to Jimbo's talk page (as reported to AN/I by Tony Sidaway (T-C-L-K-R-D)
) is the notorious Dream Focus (T-C-L-K-R-D)
, who apparently has never met a BLP he didn't want Wikipedia to keep, often for practically no legitimate reason whatsoever other than "there are multiple Google hits." I personally don't think Jimbo's talk page is anything to get worked up over - I realize that it's one of the most-watched pages on WP, but if search engines aren't indexing it and everybody is signing their entries to make it clear they're just one person's perspective/opinion, relatively little harm is done beyond the usual potential for rumor-mongering (which could start almost anywhere on the internet). Meanwhile, Mr. Sidaway could be looking for cases of unchecked BLP defamation to less-than-famous people and fix them, but of course that would generate waaay less drama, so that idea's a non-starter.

That's because in legal terms, a 13 year old isn't, in most jurisdictions. It's statutory rape rather than "child rape". According to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: QUOTE(UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) For the purposes of the present Convention, a child means every human being below the age of eighteen years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier. The age of majority in most of the US, including California where the rape took place, is 18; ergo, it's perfectly reasonable to say the victim was a child. This post has been edited by Krimpet:

Well, to be fair, if he's a "true believer" (I wouldn't know him from Adam), then going whole hog on making the high profile BLPs would be important. Keeping an eye on the low profile ones would require a lot of work from a lot of responsible-type folks. Those are in short supply.

Getting out of the muck that is the whole Roman Polanski story, and referring to the topic at hand: It does appear that Baseball Bugs is evidence that a) too much humor is a bad thing (or perhaps the inability to take the right things seriously?) and b) spending too much time on administrator's noticeboards does lead to rather reflexive and unhelpful behavior (or he was just drawn to it, and hasn't changed a bit.) On the plus side, I think most users have realized that he would be a very poor administrator because of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req...p/Baseball_Bugs

Is that an all-time record or something? That seems like an awfully high number, especially for a non-administrator. Yes. The tool featured in above url lists all editors of a given page, sortable in several ways (most usefully by number of edits, which is the default). He passed JzG some ten months ago, during or shortly after his RFA, at which time they both would have had roughly 2,950 AN/I edits. JzG has only 112 AN/I edits since that point, while Baseball Bugs has over 2,000. I tried unsuccessfully (scroll up - HTML parser not recognizing period) to shy Baseball Bugs away from the page where he holds handily the number 1 contributor spot (even above the archiving bot). I also wrote an essay entitled WP:RUBBERNECKING on the subject... Eh, Bugs just likes to meddle in policy like ChildofMidnight does, but without CoM's unbridled assholishness. He's mostly harmless.
