Phil Sandifer recreated Judd Bagley today, presumably in reaction to yesterday's discussions on ANI. Two minutes later, it was nominated for deletion. Early talk is leaning to redirecting and merging into Overstock.com. Better get those sockpuppets warmed up!

Three funny edits were made by some fairly witty anonymous IP, beginning here. Greg

QUOTE(blissyu2 @ Wed 5th September 2007, 9:33pm) Looks like a no-consensus or keep, kept either way.
I'm trying to figure out which of the two acts (the creation of an article on me vs. the indefbanning of all 660 Overstock.com employees) is intended as payback for what happened to SlimVirgin, and which is done out of spite. I knew nothing of David Gerard until last week when a dozen people forwarded him calling what he apparently presumed to be me a "fuc*wit." Based on that and what I've learned since, I'm guessing he's driven overwhelmingly by spite...in many activities. He did stop by AntiSocialMedia.net for what was likely his first time ever today. So that was good of him to do. Phil Sandifer is someone else I've previously been unaware of. By process of elimination, I assume he's the one tasked with executing payback. However based on the little I've seen of my article, he's being more principled than I might have guessed, which is why Gary Weiss is supporting deletion. Any insights on Sandifer? Also, how is it, practically speaking, that an article is created and then nominated for deletion within two minutes by yet another editor I've never heard of???

We know about Phil Sandifer:
* He used to go by the name Snowspinner. * [removing gratuitous personal insults - Guy] * Snowspinner writes fiction on a blog he has on Live Journal called Pulp Decarum. He doesn't have readily available disclaimers, and likes people to not be quite sure if its true or not. One article from 3 years ago had him saying how he was a serial killer. It was a joke of course, and when he was investigated for 10 actual murders at his university, he claimed police harassment, and now claims to be the victim of cyber stalking by Lir from Wikipedia Review, even though Orthagonal was the one who called the police and wrote the WR post. * Snowspinner is a PhD student, who uses his influence at Wikipedia to get contacts with people such as Cory Doctorow, and agrees to have uber positive articles on them in return for favours from them in real life (for example Cory Doctorow ran the whole "police harassment" crap for Snowspinner) * Snowspinner is a perfect example of someone behaving in a way that would get anyone else banned, but because he's an administrator he is applauded for it. * We can be quite certain that Snowspinner has no major bias or anything like that, no secret agenda, he is just in it for kicks, and he gets favours out of it.
Snowspinner is undoubtedly more abusive than SlimVirgin, however one difference is that Snowspinner's power isn't a secret, and he doesn't manipulate others to do his dirty work. He does it all himself.
For a similar case, see Raul654.

The creation of the Judd Bagley seems to be a good old fashioned first class trolling that was done in concert with the Overstock IP blockings. That's how it appears to me, superficially at least. Additionally, it is more proof that Wikipedia should not even endeavor to call itself an encyclopedia or attempt to live up to a standard they cannot reach.
Kato is right, they do our work for us. And I wouldn't send any praise Phil's way for the BADSITES thing, he is only doing something now because it is interfering with his troll attempt. The BADSITES supporters have run amuck in various forms since April (i think?), and while it seems to be a bad idea to a majority, the same majority sit on their fucking hands and do nothing, until it effects their personal corner of Jimbo's Bag O'Trivia.
Moreover, I'd be sort of sad to see BADSITES go, as it is a fine example of the "project perversion" that the Wikipedia community has been committing, or allowing to happen, for a while. It's a nice thing to point at to illustrate the dysfunction.

Nowhere in the Judd Bagley article does it link to nor even mention the name of the site, antisocialmedia.net. I think antisocialmedia.net is more notable than the writer of it. QUOTE(blissyu2 @ Wed 5th September 2007, 8:19pm) Yes, Snowspinner really likes Wikipedia Review. He's actually a bit pissed off that this isn't more of an attack site.
Why would he feel that way if he hates what WR stands for? Back to subject.. Question is: Does WordBomb his article kept or not? Vote tally Deletes (or delete by merge/redirect with no option to keep thrown in) ------------------ Rambutan JzG Bastique Samiharris Crum375 Mantanmoreland Thatcher131 ElinorD Everyking Hu12 WAS 4.250 Keep (or keep/merge) --------------------------- Phil Sandifer David Gerard The Epopt Raul654 MichaelLinnear Since Wikipedia is always a vote, it looks like it'll get deleted. Anyone care to analyze how the cabals are doing by the way people voted?

QUOTE(LamontStormstar @ Thu 6th September 2007, 1:15am) Question is: Does WordBomb his article kept or not? As a matter of principle, I want it deleted. But as a matter of another sort of principle, I don't. And I'd like to have it include multiple quotes from Gary Weiss. That's because I figure if Weiss quotes are acceptable in my article, then quotes by me must be acceptable in his. The best Weiss can do is repeatedly scream that I'm a liar and a "nauseating spectacle." Weiss knows that I, on the other hand, have volumes of objective proof that he's a liar and an expectorating nautical. And I can prove that. Oh yeah, I also have very recent email from Fred Bauder confirming that Weiss is Mantanmoreland. Good thing I kept a record of all Weiss's sweaty denials.

Snowspinner still has an account here, and was one of the first Wikipedia admins to join here, on the old site. Snowspinner welcomed a site that attacked and lampooned Wikipedia, and encouraged it. He got upset when we started to actually criticise. But still he was quite happy with us up until the whole thing with his blog. He used to love it when we'd bash him, and he'd bash us back. Indeed, I think that Snowspinner still probably supports WR overall. I don't think that he ever approved of BADSITES. Similarly with David Gerard and Ambi. They love for insults to be thrown around, but I think that they are a bit upset that we make people register real e-mail accounts, don't allow guests, and try to focus far too much on actual issues, rather than just being a big slanging match.

Would it be out of line or not to post it? QUOTE(WordBomb @ Wed 5th September 2007, 11:02pm) I wish someone out there with CheckUser would finally make it official that Samiharris is a Mantanmoreland sock. Not that it would make any difference. Weiss has immunity, you may recall.
Have either of their IPs slipped? I heard Weiss may be in New York.

So those three are on Encyclopedia Dramatica then?

Would it be out of line or not to post it? Well I hadn't intended to. I'd been holding out hope that after SlimVirgin left I might be able to patch things up with the ArbCom but in the same email Fred also eliminated any possibility of that. But because his email was copied to the entire ArbCom, I suppose it's no longer private communication and I wouldn't be betraying anybody's trust by posting is here or anywhere for that matter. Maybe what I'll do is start a new thread with my initial outreach to them, followed by the subsequent exchange in toto, and you'll be able to spot the portion I've made reference to without me putting it up out of context. QUOTE(LamontStormstar @ Thu 6th September 2007, 2:38am) Have either of their IPs slipped? I heard Weiss may be in New York. Let's put it this way...I've known Gary's IP pretty much non-stop for going on two years. Lately he's getting inventive with South American and European proxies, but in some ways that just makes his easier to spot. Here's a rundown I prepared for some colleagues in April that was current at that time. As you'll see, Gary is in NYC on Verizon DSL in the NY325 pool.

Great moments in Wikipedia #1028594: I added this to the talk page: QUOTE Well done
Well done Phil Sandifer and Mantanweissland for doing their level best to further drive Wikipedia's reputation into the dirt with a biography of a living person consisting entirely of attacks on a person's character.
Yes of course Gary "Mantanmoreland" Weiss's own blog is a reputable source for information because Gary has shown such an incredible reputation for ethical journalistic behavior as antisocialmedia.net has detailed.
You people have no shame.--86.131.103.166 06:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC) When the article was stubbed and protected by "Tom Harrison" someone else called "Samiharris" removed my talk page comment with the reason "removing personal attack" which sounds remarkably like Slimvirgin when removing any criticism of Weiss elsewhere. Oh and David Gerard steps in to make absolutely sure that my BT Internet 2-day leased IP address is properly chastised: QUOTE You are not blocked from reading pages, only from editing them. If you have just clicked a red link, it means you were blocked from starting a new page as no article on that topic exists yet. You have been blocked from editing.86.131.103.166 (your account, your IP address or a range of addresses) was blocked by David Gerard for the following reason (see our blocking policy): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse, editing from these proxies is currently prohibited. If your ISP has misconfigured their proxy, you can try bypassing it by logging into Wikimedia's secure gateway at https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/. For more information about open proxies and what you can do, please see the WikiProject on open proxies. (Multi-RBL lookup • Sandbox test edit) : Apparent open proxy being abused by Judd Bagley of overstock.com Your IP address is 86.131.103.166, and your block has been set to expire: indefinite. So there we have it. Apparently Judd Bagley is stealing into my study here in England to write perfectly justifiable comment on their abusive behavior. How incredibly mature David Gerard is. A real credit to Wikipedia.

Can you find evidence that Weiss still sockpuppets? Fred was referring to the group of socks Weiss was using at the time: Tomstoner, Lastexit and Doright (there were others, but we didn't find them until later). Today he uses Samiharris, and we know that thanks to two slip-ups he made. I'm slowly working on a piece tying them together now, and patiently looking for more. At this point, I'm not sure Checkuser would work, since Weiss has grown ultra-paranoid about his IP.

I didn't remember what Snowspinner wrote in the story, just something about killing lots of people and that's it. What are the two slip-ups Samiharris has made? Other than the fact that he edits overstock.com, stuff about you, Gary Weiss, naked short selling, hedge fund, Patrick M. Byrne‎, type stuff most of all? For his user talk edits http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=...&year=&month=-1He...... Goes right to Jayjg whenever he wants something done and Jayjg does it like Jayjg is his personal servant. He also didn't contact Jayjg when Jayjg took his wikibreak. From these two accounts' strange interaction, it is likely that Gary Weiss and Jayjg know each other in real life. He constantly talks to Mantanmoreland. Damn dude, is it now that all sockpuppets have to go around talking to each other? Of course, always agreeing with each other. Fights with Piperdown‎, whoever that is. This post has been edited by LamontStormstar:
