QUOTE(TheKartingWikipedian @ Sun 20th February 2011, 5:54pm) A queer thing just happened. I tried to log on on as one of my socks that was last used in December 2010 and blow me, it's gone!! Yep, stone cold gone!! I made dozens of edits using the sock and I'm pretty sure I've got the name spot on. Problem is, I can't recall any precise articles I edited, and as is customary with disposable socks, I never set up a user page or talk page. I was using the sock exclusively to revert some scumbag participant in the Anglo-Irish WikiWar. Anyone think what might have happened? The sock was low-level and wouldn't normally have come to the attention of those knuckledraggers who spend their time sock hunting. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/wacko.gif) Yes, I know, I'm a stupid twat! I had actually spelled the bugger wrong! Missing sock now found! Moderators please feel free to delete this post.

Well the right side of course. God Save the Queen.

Yes, me too, but I'd spelled it wrong in the file, hence the difficulty. I did manage to track it down though - and you'll love this, it shows just what a bunch of tossers us Wikipedians are - from time to time I take a dump of all articles linking to "another" article, just so that I can find out if anyone is deleting references to that "other article". There's a bunch of bastards who are intent on doing these deletions but I've got the better of them, for now. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I used this dump to find an article that had been butchered, knowing that I fixed it with my sock, and so I found its ID, correctly spelled. It really is a bit of a bummer when you run a large number of socks and are expected to keep track of them all, but yes, a list does help. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif)

If I were writing about Wikipedia for a general audience, I would need to give a flavour of what Wikipedia is about. I.e. this. http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?s=&sh...ndpost&p=269099

QUOTE(Zoloft @ Tue 22nd February 2011, 2:51pm) This topic needs deletion, not any sort of move. Y'see, this is the sort of thing mods do - take out the trash.
I think if I'd gotten to it a little sooner I would have suggested that... maybe that's still the way to go, but I have to admit, Mr. Cock-up's post about "needing a bespoke application" does tie in nicely with the recent story on the US Air Force looking into Multiple Persona Management systems. I'll move it to the Annex for now, though. I happen to be personally fascinated by interested in the idea of automating one's multiple-persona management, so maybe I'm not the best person to decide these things. So, any other mods, feel free to delete or whatever! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

I was trying to track down my various alts recently to list on my userpage -- the only one I couldn't find was the one that I blatantly associated with myself. :-) Found it by accident somewhere later, when I wasn't looking for it...

Wow! and you're a moderator here (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/confused.gif) Judging by your choice of words you must also be a Wikipedia Admin and checkuser - go on, give us clue, which admin(s) are you? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/sick.gif)

I'm months gone now, as it happens. Didn't you get the memo? It's fortunate that I'm not craving your approval or anything (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)
