Malleus, it was 13 years old, not 15.

Right - the rule is that you can register here if you're 13, 14, or 15, and as long as we don't find out how old you are, all is well. We don't go actively looking for that information beyond viewing user pages and such on WP, but if someone brings it to our attention (including links to off-site material) and the facts are essentially indisputable, then that means a suspension for however long it is until the person's 16th birthday.

We keep meaning to spell that out explicitly somewhere, but of course, spelling it out explicitly would probably just get us into even more trouble! rolleyes.gif


I don't really care if im suspended. To be honest, after reading this thread, I hate this place... yecch.gif

Quite right too!

This is no place for a fine upstanding young Wikipedian such as yourself.

Why not do some serious buttsnorkeling on Jimmy's talkpage instead. Go on you know you want to.


In case you missed the last page and a half, im not an upstanding wikipedian. Rather, the opposite. Thanks though...

I always apologise when I've made a mistake. It just doesn't happen that often that I do.

But more seriously, don't you think it woud be a good idea to take your mentor's advice, and stop fighting a fight you can't possibly win?

Multiple criticism on Wikipedia Review almost certainly means you're a fine upstanding Wikipedian.

That depends on how you're defining "fine upstanding Wikipedian".

Im going to have to agree with Malleus here. I have so real and valid issues that I need to fix. And while they were presented to me in a rude way here, it has actually opened up my eyes. And yes Maleus, I will follow the advice of Julian.

Good. Then we can perhaps close this rather unpleasant chapter now.

I mean you no ill will Coldplay, but the purpose of wikipedia, at least to my understanding, is to build a free encylopedia, not to make friends.

I know that we are all here to build an encyclopedia. In fact when I joined, that was what I planned to do. But I seemed to have gotten off topic in my work. (Hense the large pink spot in my editing pie chart)

We're none of us perfect, we just do the best we can as we see it. Let's put this behind us now.

Oh god, this thread is sooo inspiring, it's making me all teary-eyed!
To watch a 13-year-old boy being beaten up by disgruntled Wikipedia admins!!

Just explain to CE what he's supposed to do on Wikipedia, and leave him be.

While I'm not sure what I hope to gain by jumping in, how is being a naive twat preferable to being a plain old twat?
