NawlinWiki has just abused the deletion function by deleting a swath of edits and page-move logs that do not meet the criteria for deletion. Here is his recent rampage: [1]. I will give some examples of the content he is removing from the logs and page history:
  • From the article Boss: "Jimbo Wales is the final boss."
  • From the article United States Department of Homeland Security: "United States Department of Fascism and Civilian Conformance"
  • From the article Wikipedia:WikiProject Living people: "Wikipedia:WikiProject Totalitarian Censorship"
  • From the article United States Cabinet: "United States President’s Lackeys"
  • From the article Jonah Falcon: "Mine is much bigger."
  • From the article Woman's Christian Temperance Union: "The Woman's Christian Temperance Union is responsible for ruining society and promoting totalitarianism."
  • From the article Schadenfreude: "I love this. It makes life seem more tolerable."
  • From the article Jan Brewer: "Jan Brewer is awesome."
  • From the article United States Congress: "United States Coneheads"
  • From the article Arizona SB1070: "An excellent law"
  • From the article Eminent domain: "Eminent domain is when the government steals your land and gives it to a rich person or corporation or to itself. It is a perfect example of fascism and should be illegal."
  • From the article Digital signal: "Digital signals are about as reliable as Wikipedia, whereas analog signals are about as reliable as Encarta. Unfortunately, both analog and Encarta are dead, killed by the Ä‹rap."
  • From the article Pedosphere: "It is also another name for Wikipedia."
  • From the article Israel and the apartheid analogy: "The Jewish people have been oppressed throughout history. Now that they finally have the power to defend themselves and exact deserved vengeance, everybody is getting all scared and butt-hurt."
  • From the article Honey, I Shrunk the Kids:
  • From the article Caps lock: "CAPS LOCk IS CRUlSE CONtROL FoR COOL."
  • From the article Analog signal: "Analog signals are better and stronger than digital ones. I HATE the fuÄ‹king government! Whoever legislated the mandatory digital television switchover law should be assassinated."
  • From the article Controversies about the word "niggardly": "Damned niggardly niÄ¡gers need to learn how to use the fuÄ‹king dictionary."
  • From the article Achaemenid Empire: "Massively butthurt by SPARTAAA!"
  • From the article Social anxiety disorder: "The easiest cure is to kill yourself."
  • From the article Contempt of court: "The fascist law known as “contempt of court”"
  • From the article Gravitation: "My cock is so massive, it has its own gravitational pull."
  • From the discussion page Talk:Density: "Cyde Weys (Benjamin McIlwain)’s density is very great."

Now, aside from the "Talk:Density" log, how are any of these offensive enough to warrant redaction from the history pages and move logs? Most of them are not even offensive, such as the Jan Brewer one saying "Jan Brewer is awesome." In Wikipedialand, is "awesome" an insult?

In my opinion, NawlinWiki should be stripped of his administrator powers and banned for massive abuse of the revision deletion function. Any thoughts?

You obviously have us confused with anybody who gives a damn.

Okay, so you support censorship and admin abuse, but there must be people here who don't.

I completely agree.

Was that what you were looking for?

I suppose all the edit summaries will just have to keep being inserted until they stick.

Yeah, I guess someone who pays Jimbo Wales to write a nice article about him on a site that's supposed to be neutral isn't really interested in ethics.

He's Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC, and he's doing a story on predators who try to meet underage people on the internet for sex...

In fact why has this forum ceased to produce new interesting material? Where are the cunning discussions about possible future improvements of the site through usage of WP:POINT?

I would like to know what 69.178.194.1 posted that got NawlinWiki to delete all my edits on the Achaemenid Empire article.

I agree.

I fail to see how an edit consisting purely of the text "#REDIRECT [[User:idiot who wants to delete everything]]" is offensive enough to warrant deletion.
