Jimbo blocks an investigator Options

Somebody was piecing together the SlimVirgin story, but then, in the nick of time...

Jimbo to the rescue!

This is most interesting. I know that we have some members here who have gone over SV's Lockerbie and Salinger edits with a fine-tooth comb, including the oversighted ones. Can someone who has that degree of familiarity with the issues examine Jim Larry's contributions, so that we can get a better sense of what he was up to that called down Jimbo's wrath upon him?

Here we see the the immune system of the organism Wikipseudpseud pseudio in action. In order to understand what is happening in this case it is pertinent to recall the functions and the properties of immune systems in general.

We give the name «Immune System» (IS) — from the Latin for duty-free and standing together — to the whole collection of agencies in a Collective Agent (CA) that facilitate the preservation of its Collective Identity (CI) by recognizing the distinction beteeen agencies of that collective and agencies not of that collective.

Defined in these terms, the IS of a CA X implements a specific information-theoretic or logical function, namely, the function of recognizing what agents are part the collective X and what agents are not part of the collective X. Agents of X are allowed to participate in the activities of X, while agents not of X must not be allowed to participate in the activities of X.

It was me.

Before I had my local installation of MediaWiki perfected, I was using Jimbo's to look at SV's Oversighted edits in the traditional "diff" format. I then used the raw html from those pages to re-create some of those diffs on my site.

I threw the account away on August 25 when I used it to participate in SV's AN/I.

They'll likely be gone soon, but for now you can go here to see most of SlimVirgin's Oversighted edits made as Slimv and the IP 70.64.24.120. Look to the subject line to see the original editor and timestamp.

What I want to know is how the person asking Jimbo came to learn about ole Jim Larry, who mostly kept to himself, you know.

PS: in order to keep the account from being discovered too easily I used a simple code for the subjects of the Oversighted diffs.
301AP = PA103
RM = Robert Maxwell
PS and PSal = Pierre Salinger
jfk = Reactions to the death of JFK

Ohh - so Jimbo found a sock with no help from Durova!

[WhispersOfWisdom]

I should think that, BY NOW, the idea of having an infinite number of fake profiles would

certainly add to the thesis that maybe, just maybe, WP should change policy and require

users to provide some sort of identification ?

I gess nit.

This is one of the primary reasons, aside from the fact that all articles can eventually default to lame; mediocre; average, why I fail to understand how Facebook, MySpace or Wikipedia will ever be taken seriously by scholars or educators.

Silly boy, you had a close shave there. Next time, use double ROT13 encryption. Jimbo's complex investigators will never break that one!

Surely an infinite number would genuinely create a problem with room on the servers.

I actually came across these pages when making some Google searches. I didn't say anything to anyone, because I figured as soon as I did (tarpit or not) they'd disappear. I think I have a copy somewhere. In any case, they matched up with what I have in my old dumps.

They'll likely be gone soon, but for now you can go here to see most of SlimVirgin's Oversighted edits made as Slimv and the IP 70.64.24.120. Look to the subject line to see the original editor and timestamp.

It's way too easy to get an account on this site... They're already gone.

What I want to know is how the person asking Jimbo came to learn about ole Jim Larry, who mostly kept to himself, you know.

Maybe the same way I came across them.

Or just by using the "search" feature on WP itself. Search "SlimV" or "SlimVirgin". It was no doubt slimmy herself who probably decided to search all of WP including subpages for her own account names (all 3 or more of them) to try and keep the cover-up bases all covered.

Why doesn't Jimbo just cut SV loose, to avoid further embarrassment to the project? Did he cling this fiercely to Essjay when the Essjay scandal broke?

Before, or after the media raked him over the coals for it?

Not only gone, but Oversighted. That makes twice. At least they're being consistent.

[WhispersOfWisdom]

It will not work Jimmy. It did not work for half of the Bush cabinet and it will not work for WP.

Cover it up, but it comes to the surface because just like with Essjay, you do not really know most of the people you are dealing with. Many of them are fake and under age!
